Wow, thank you guys so much, I'm blushing!

Jimmie if you could just show me the way to sharpen a pastel pencil without breaking the tip off when it's just where I want it, I will be eternally grateful!
Oh Beth, that's VERY easy, the trick is that you stop using your pencils and use Nupastels or Polychromos sharpened with a blade instead. Just messing with you, I have a Boston brand pencil sharpener that has a few different openings, you pick one slightly bigger (that depends on the brand you use of course) and kinda let the pencil "float" in there. if you shove it, it'll break for sure, but if you put it in there softly with some play, and SPIN the pencil, it usually comes to a decent point without weak wood. Sorry if that sounded perverted. Hope it works.

Thanks again guys!!!
