A real treat for any artist

This little wonder, as I call it, is great for the intended oil pastel painting, but it's also great for mixing colors after the pastel has been crushed. The easy-to-use grater and trap work well, and the extra wire brush makes cleaning a breeze. Even the lid offers protection from accidental drops when you least expect it. I would advise any artist or hobbyist to buy one of these as I'm sure it can be used for many other jobs that require powder.

Pros
  • Nice construction
Cons
  • Something's wrong

Great machine for soft pastels

I use this machine to make pastel powders from soft pastels or chalk pastels. I like to use it in the background or mix the powder with alcohol to avoid choking. The powder can also be used in mixed media projects. This is more convenient than digging through your panpastel and trying to match the color. The product is also well made and durable, and additional storage cups are also sold.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide

Useful for coloring polyclay

I have a large number of soft chalk pastels and have decided to buy a wood file or cester when I need more pastel dust for my clay figures. I usually use pastel for painting and also for coloring liquid clay for frostings, sauces and more. I used a razor blade but this can result in larger pieces of the pastel coming off than I'd like and it will take a lot of time. Even a wood file or zester will have trouble holding the resulting dust. This system is really perfect. The original container…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
