Inspired by the ballerina art by French artist Edgar Degas,
this set of 8 cards provides started images for you to complete. Your medium is
a set of 12 wax pastels—something like crayon, but blendable like a pastel
stick. An instruction booklet shows you the steps needed to achieve a certain
look, but you can also use the techniques to create something all on your own.
The card art is by Nathalie Novi and features ballerinas and a variety of large
flowers in a theatrical scale. Set includes 8 cards in 4 designs (8” squares), 12
crayons (about 3” long), and a full-color instruction booklet. This is a lovely
gift set for a creative child. ~Sara

Scratch Cards come in a set of 4 large, coated, pre-printed cards as well as a wooden stylus to create custom designs. Create with Stickers sets have 4 base design cards and 4 pages of stickers to apply as you wish. Felt Tips & Rub-On Transfers sets include 4 brush markers, a pencil, 4 base design cards, and 4 pages of rub-on transfers for your personal work of art.
