Today I packaged up some original cactus pastels. I love to make and sell original art, and I have found a practical cost effective way to do so. I slide pastels into a clear plastic sleeve that matches the size of the original art, and then slide a piece of foam core behind the artwork. This allows me a smudge free way to handle finished pastels and they are much easier to store and ship than frames.

I love working on a series, and seeing them together makes me feel happy and proud!
