I've never tried them, but it sounds like I'm missing out!<br /><br />After the pastel dust is sprinkled onto the areas where you want it, I take a wide, flat metal spatula and press it down firmly onto the dust. It presses it into the sanded surface. I wipe off the spatula each time so colors from one area won't mix with different colors from another area. It's really easy, and sometimes you just want a unique texture. It's especially good in landscapes.Carol Flatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280091225563623507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112630515552086897.post-34805017761145032042014-06-26T14:27:29.117-07:002014-06-26T14:27:29.117-07:00Thank you, Helen!

I remember seeing these when I visited my brother in law ... and yes, I bought some of the jellies from this flower.... It makes you wonder how they made it! but it tasted really yummy!<br />I know it sounds crazy but how did the pastel dust stay on the paper? Beautiful texture and color in this piece! Also, I loved your last painting...the bird is adorable and love how you painted the branch!! nice work, as always.hmuxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05132343095188658107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112630515552086897.post-70959449809011764962014-06-25T17:00:40.497-07:002014-06-25T17:00:40.497-07:00Lovely......almost a sense of mystery about it.
