They would probably like me to do more and bigger, but I'm not sure how ready I am to be involved in a complex piece yet.<br /><br />I thought you might have. Yes, fixative is a must. Some brands of hairspray work better than others. Occasionally I have had one disintegrate the color, but that is usually on colored paper and the 'real' fixative will do that too. Usually I get the extra extremest hold I can, with a scent I don't react to. In my portfolio, I have cheap sheets of sketch paper between the ones that need it.<br /><br />Thanks for the info on the scrapbook! I think it might work for me, too, and I may have one I can re-purpose for that use.Thetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11516080194176550816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596613759531107077.post-44064299907017242442011-10-24T05:17:06.682+03:002011-10-24T05:17:06.682+03:00ugh!

Make sure you spray the pages with a fixative... I have heard that hair spray works just as well as the expensive fixative, but I have been using the workable fixative from the art supply store. I can't afford to frame every pastel drawing I do, so the scrapbook works really well. Larger sizes, I have been putting into a portfolio with wax paper in between drawings for storage.Deb Ammermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00251607119791926401noreply@blogger.com
