Day 1 of Powder Sgrafitto Drawing:

 I'm not home so I don't have my frit or glass.  I wanted to begin the technique and not get behind so I tried what I found in the pantry and used the counter top.  Flour was too clumpy, sugar was too bouncy.  Baking soda seemed to stay where I put it.
What I got the most out of this exercise is how to place the powder.  It really made a difference to pass and release evenly.  Letting too much go at one time left a clump or a hole.  Also, for coating it or shading it was much better to hold it up high for more control.
