Blue tac can be found in Canada under the name of Tac-n-stik at Walmart.It works just fine.

[MaryAnne Long]

I bought  a similar product at a local office supply store in Honolulu under the name UHU Tac.  Was $2.49 for a 3 oz. package on sale.  It's white and works better than the kneaded erasers I've tried.  Made in Germany.

Magnifique Danielle!   You are crazy good with graphite, such a great sense of mind's eye to paper translation!  Talk about rheumy eye... this will be the new dictionary picture next to the definition, make that the French/English dictionary! 

[Danielle123]

  Steven for the nice compliment. " Rheumy eye",  new word for me, I had to ask my husband.   

[Happychappy]

    Wow, Danielle, your work is outstanding and this portrait is just fantastic.   Great job.

[MaryAnne Long]

Excellent, Danielle, except that the eyeball keeps grabbing my attention.  The pupil seems to have a tail, like an apostrophe.

Other wise, it is very well done.

  Patricia, so much you alway lift my spirit with your comments .
  Mea for your lovely comments.  I know it seem strange but this is a closeup picture and that is I think the silouette of a lady taking the picture.  You can see the original on the first page that Nolan posted.  Bot thank you for paying attention. 

[nolan]

magnificent Danielle
why do you have more time than me to finish the drawing

[MaryAnne Long]

OH, I checked it out -- I see what you mean.  Yikes, it looks like there's a duck standing next to the lady photographer.

You did such an excellent job on this. (minus the duck, though)
