Tiger Dottie looks grrrrreat! That ribbon works really well and I love your wording.
I have Prismas and love them, I know you said not prismas but I got mine on the auction site and it only cost me £30 for 72 pencils that's brand new and including shipping from America! I know £30 sounds like a lot for pencils but when you look at the price of the same thing over here it's less than half the price! There are a lot of colours I don't use though, I'd probably have been happy with the next set down.
Natasha I don't know if I've already asked you but do you have a blog?
