[QUOTE=Ardith Starostka]Sharon,

Thanks for the info. That's funny you mentioned the vacuum cleaner. I just rec'd. my Artist's Magazine and there is an article about a pastel artist that said she used the vacumm on her pastel paintings too. Just goes to show you, you're not nuts!!!! I'm going to give it a try.

Hey, I've looked in all of my art material catalogs and cannot find the Daler Rowney spray you mentioned. Could you tell me where I could find it?

Thanks again,

Congratulations to all three of you. You all certainly deserve the recognition! Sharon, you know I have long admired your work and Ardith, I'm so thrilled to see you posting here. I have admired your website. I just discovered these little powdery sticks the end of last summer and have fallen in love with them. I can only hope that one day I can master them the way you all have. Keep talking, I'm taking notes. (vacuums, sprays etc.)
