It's made by various manufacturers; the support I used is made by Sennelier.<br /><br />The sandpaper-y surface grabs the pastel and also seems to intensify the pigment.Jean Spitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520415864511680025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-48884812144252583732011-02-25T15:13:47.812-06:002011-02-25T15:13:47.812-06:00It is really beautiful.

To add to the trauma I went out and found this linoleum place on San Gabriel blvd (above the freeway) who was overstocked with 70's rolls. Ended up with some faux flagstone rocks aka the Flintstones. Actually it would be kind of hip today. Then it was cheap and I was poor.Pasadena Adjacenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031325790590238246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-80029248972693322472011-02-22T10:29:44.929-06:002011-02-22T10:29:44.929-06:00Thanks, Pamo.Thanks, Pamo.Jean Spitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520415864511680025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-41501971508828439862011-02-21T19:24:23.338-06:002011-02-21T19:24:23.338-06:00I saw this one in my dashboard a few days ago and ...I saw this one in my dashboard a few days ago and loved the vibrant color.
