    while doing some guest teaching here in NZ.... i came across an AMAZING
    pencil. (you know you're an art teacher/artist when the most exciting
    thing that happened to you all day is that you found excellent pencils...
    and try to tell everyone and their mother out of sheer excitement who
    just don't find it as interestin as you and give you funny looks)
    anyway.... theyre by koh-i-noor called "hardimuth" and they make them in
    smaller (normal pencil) size and big ones called "omega"

    theyre reallly smooth, blend well, and the kids did some amazing stuff
    with them. i dont know how much they cost, but i think i remember the
    teacher saying 1.00nz (.50US) a piece. i also don't know the availability
    in the states... perhaps judy can enlighten us?

    i'm planning on buying some for my own use, and could look into prices if
    anyone is interested. i believe the koh-i-noor products are made somewhere
    in europe, which would be cheaper to ship than from here anyway.

    just thought i'd spread the good supply news on to people who actually
    care!
