What the heck is this stuff?
Yes, I've googled. Closest I've found is one post saying the manufacturer they talked to won't discuss it, and another that described it as kind of like chalk, only not (v. helpful, that). I've seen some suggestions it's made from ash, but even then, they'd have to pigment it pretty heavily, wouldn't they?
I've been playing with charcoal, which I love (although it's brittle, and I may switch to pastels out of frustration). And I would love to know what this stuff actually is.
Anybody know?
