Instead of using a regular pencil sharpener, try using one made for eyebrow, eyeliner or eye shadow pencils. I don't know why, but they give you a much better point that doesn't break as easily.

If you try to sharpen them enough to make a detailed line, the chalk breaks off. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
