Thanks for the new replies. Kim, I'm sorry, I missed you. I had the reply page open for a few hours and you snuck in there.

Glad to hear you didn't suffer over the color this time!

I'm surprised it came as easy as it did. Even when I had to recolor because of the poor lighting, it was'nt so bad.

Get a metal brief case for your pastels, it works great, especially if you save the foam inserts that come with the sticks and put those inside.

Is there a particular case you recommend that will hold a ton-o-color. I'm ok with the Giraults as I keep them in a nice wooden box, but the Unisons are in six separate boxes. I keep my Rembrandts in a cheap three drawer box. I did'nt take the Nupastels or Polychromos with me, and I still have some 75-80 Doaks laying around.

How on earth do you get such lushish tones

I'm still trying to figure that out myself.

Thanks again.
