The Mini Iron tip is suited to working in small areas - patterning, miniature landscapes, etc.

The Micro Iron tip is a useful and versatile addition to the collection. You can get it into those places where the iron is just too clumsy to use. It is great for working 'inside' pictures and it holds a good working temperature.

A double ended brass tool for scraping and scratching the wax colours (approximately 115mm (4.5") long. One end is a pointed round bar - useful for inscribing and detailed graphics and scratching fine lines through the wax. The other end has a long and short bladed form - good for scraping off larger amounts and areas of wax.

The disk of this round tip is about 20mm in diameter & offers smooth curved edges when slid over the wax colour. ALso the circular shape can be used to create all sorts of object in images. If the tip is turned upside down the edge can be used for lining which can save having to change to another tip.

These 16 colours enable refining mixes & tones to become involved in your images, especially landscape or naturally coloured subject matter.

16 VIVID colours that contain pastels, neons (bright) & strong thicker 'mixers'.

Three pastels, six bright luminous like neons & seven excellent strong & slightly thicker mixers.
