The Art Supplies That Squidoo Bought, And Then I Made A Squidoo Lens About Them (it’s a circle of life kinda thing.)
So here they are in all their glorious splendiferous color. FedEx brought me this little bundle of artsy joy the other day. They are those Neocolor II water soluble wax pastels that I have been planning on buying forever and just not gotten around to it. 84 sumptuous colors. Now they do have a set of 126 colors but it was $100 more which I would have done except 10 of them were metallics (which I never use) so it would have been an extra $100 for essentially 30 more colors. So I passed. If however I fall in love with them (which I think I will) I will buy the larger set anyhow.
As you know my Summer has been hectic as usual so I’ve not spent any time writing new Squidoo lenses or tending the ones I have already created. But I just had a few days all to myself and there is no art event happening for the next 3 weeks so I’m going to pop out a couple. The first being this one about (dah, dah da dah!) Neocolor Water Soluble Wax Pastels Lens
Squidoo How I Love Thee, Let Me Count The Ways (or rather dollars)
My squidoo earnings started out pretty slowly (as in non-existent) But they are currently depositing a nice little chunk o’ cash in my account each month. (despite my lack of attention the payment last month was $95) Now while the work I’ve put into them has been worth far more than the monies earned from them. Once a lens is created it needs some but in general very little tending. After I create over 50 lenses I will also receive a rank bump which should help increase earnings.
I have heard you can earn more money with hub pages, but at least for the moment squidoo is where I’ll stay. I really like the community here.
Oh and yes I did buy my new Neocolor ll off of one of my lenses. I looked at Cheap Joes and a couple of other places but when shipping got included (at the time of my purchase) an amazon affiliate was the best price.

Very nice lens. Congratulations on your earnings and your purchase. I have some of these, but other than using them with colored pencil as some others have, I have not played with them. I love how you can show your marks/achieve oil pastel effects with them. I hope to play with them sometime soon.
Thanks So far I’m really enjoying them.
