Set of oil pastels

I had these when I was about 8, they were part of my earliest experiments with drawing - I think used for my brownie badge in art. When I drew lots of vampires in caves, and shocked my badge 'examiner' who was a nice older lady that the brownie leader knew did some painting. I'd felt a lot of enthusiasm for the drawings and could see that she was trying to be polite but didn't know how to respond at all. It just hadn't occurred to me that there was anything wrong with drawing vampires.
