I found some Laurentien pencils at work today and they just reminded me so strongly of colouring books and childhood memories and after school things. Back then, I was happy to have all these colours to play with! Green skin? No problem! Gold eyes? Done! Now I'm pretty stoked that the design has remained the same for 20 years at least, complete with painted numbers corresponding to each colour. There's something with the history that I appreciate - there's no need to update the pencil designs for the sake of flash or branding. I'm glad they've stayed the same.
Also, these pencils appeal to my love of colourful things in sets. Maybe I should post more things in sets sometime soon.
