Here are some quick, not so good, photos of the sharpeners:
The small one is made by Maped and it is called Stop Signal and empties from the bottom- it holds a lot and is only about 2 in. by 3/4 in. thick. Hope this helps- I will look later to see if I can find any.They are worth every penny. Mine cost $18 a long while ago (the big one) the small one was about $2.

Geez- I should have posted these pics somewhere else- sorry- Danielle was asking about how Mary kept here pencils so sharp- didn't mean to have these as repetitive photos. If you want me to move them elsewhere let me know.

Yes I used to use these in school. One of the first things I bought when I started teaching. Jay buys pencil sharpeners by the boxful and chucks them. I have tried sooo many. lately just using a blade.
So now to decide... buy lots of cheap ones or spend more on a more substantial one. One last question but I hope it's not too stupid... Is the old style manual crank sharpener good for pastel pencils. Can't decide if it is the pencil's fault for breaking easily or is it completely the sharpener's fault?
...back to photography....
Taken on the train home from my evening at the Pastel Society's exhibition and demo with Mary Helena.

Dan- This is not your typical school sharpener. IT holds the pencil- not you- and it doesn't have a bunch of different sizes you turn to get the right one. There are 2 things that can make your pencils break: you dropped them and they broke inside or you have a dull sharpener. I wouldn't use the old fashion crank sharpener unless it is made really well (metal parts) and VERY sharp. Sometime the wood around the pencil can be bad too. I believe the electric ones are much better now so maybe ask you local art store and see what they are able to find for you. I got this one at an art store. The small one I showed you is really nice - sharp and makes a really good point.

Love both your shots here Danielle. The shoe looks really coo against that orange pattern but the close up is great too, especially the way the light is highlighting different circles and you can see the cracks in the leather.

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
