Barbara this is so helpful to me. I actually started using regular chalk on any paper when I was about 8, and home from school. I was sick a lot. I would put the paper overtop of anything with ridges and make designs. Then in the small high school I went to, 200 kids, art consisted of charcoal or a few old chalk pastels and magazines, for collage. After a head injury in a car crash in my 30’s I was off work and took some more art classes. I was hooked again, and bought all the beautiful chalk pastel, but never able to keep the look I created for long. I’m going to try this paper and I hope I can enjoy it. Your work is incredible!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with me, Anne Hurst
Anne, thank you very much for sharing your story. I am glad you found this post helpful. If you have technical questions once you start using sandpaper, I’d be happy to answer them. Good luck!
