Chalks for detailing ?

I found some specialty sandpaper designed for sanding plaster at the hardware store that's an open grid (kind of like window screen with rough sandy edges). Took some 1x2s, made a small frame, and stapled a piece to it -- makes a perfect "sander" for artist chalks/pastels. Just put the sanding frame on a sheet of paper (or as I do, a plastic watercolor pallet-type thing with low compartments), rub the chalk/pastel stick across the sanding grid, and stop when you have a pile big enough. <br />
