This is the owl I made for an owl postcard swap on swapbot! I used Tattered Angels Graceful Journey clear stamp set and colored w/ copic and spica markers. (The glitter from the spica didn't photograph well).  He has huge glittery yellow eyes!  I am really pleased with how this one turned out!

This is because there is so little binder in them that they wouldn't function in stick form. They are almost pure pigment, so a small amount goes a long way and with very little excess dust. Oh, and one other amazing thing.... PanPastels are erasable! They are a dry medium, so there is no need to worry about wrinkling your art journal pages with wet paint, and you don't need to wait for them to dry. Although, a fixer spray should be used to keep them from smearing or transferring to other pages.  I usually use Krylon workable fixative spray, though I have used hairspray in a pinch. Another big part of what makes PanPastels so wonderful are the Sofft tools that are used to apply them. These spongy foam tools were developed specifically to be used with them, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. There are flexible pallet knives with foam cov...
