Shipping a framed pastel. Do I have to spray?
I'm creating a couple of pastel portraits for my friend's sister for Christmas. I told her I would get them framed and ship them to Conneticut, where she will unpack them and wrap them for under the tree. Not being all that familiar with pastel, I do understand that I need to add a spacer between the art and the matte, so if the pastel dust falls, it will fall down to the spacer and not on to the matte. I'm afraid that, during shipping, the pastel dust is going to go everywhere and arrive a bit of a mess. I'm trying to avoid having to spray fixative, but will if it's suggested. I was thinking I could also cover the art with tissue and trust my friend to take apart the frame, remove the tissue and put it together again. Any ideas/experience on this??
