Love the tile you did this week. As for sharpeners, if all else fails I use my exacto knife and sharpen mine that way.
ReplyDeleteThe tile looks great. I have to admit I have not used my white charcoal pencil a lot. It is soft and I think I press to hard to keep it from being too light. I have read other comments though that breakage is a problem with these.
ReplyDeleteWonderful tile! Great choice of tangles!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully organic, love the subtle highlights and richness of the Renaissance tile and your coloring. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI like your tile, it is really lovely.
ReplyDeleteI feel,the same way, these tiles are quite diffrent to work on.
