learn how to properly mat a pastel so as to leave a space at the bottom of the piece where any fallen particles can drop and not accumulate in view.

Steven how do you do this? I just took a couple of my pieces in for frame molding, I had matted and put archival glass on one with a fast frame but needed it to look more "finished" for a show. While we were picking out the molding I noticed a lot of dust had gathered on the matte. I do not fix my work because I do notice a color change and it always seems to give a little splatter no matter how careful I am.
The other piece I chose an inside matte with a black "cut" area on the bevel edge. Is there anywhere I can find information to print out and take to my framer to make sure they are using the right "pastel" technique?
Thanks!
