Hodges wrote and article I beloved in the GNSI Newsletter. Perhaps there is something in archives. A claycoat surface provides a good tooth. It will seem light compared to graphite but will oxidize depending on whether it is set or not. Might do a search online for historical techniques as well. Best, Deb Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android

Hi Linda, My only tip is silver jewelry wire and a mechanical pencil, it won't feel like graphite but she'll have a good grip.

She would like to talk/write to someone who has done it before, to ask a few questions before she jumps in. If you have the time and desire to communicate with her, please write me off-list. It would be greatly appreciated. Best, Linda _____________________ Linda M. Feltner Artist, LLC P.O.
