| Jeanne's original artwork is for the most part organic and does have a certain length of shelf life. When wise considerations are observed, that shelf life can last for many generations. | |
 |
Jeanne's artwork is done on acid free paper made of 67% cotton and 33% cellulose pulp. A light application of workable fixative binds the pastel to the paper. The spray is NOT permanent. Therefore, after a period of time, pastel dust particles may work loose despite the best of care. |
| Avoid handling the artwork It must be framed under glass for protection. Keep the temperature/humidity constant Temperature/humidity fluctuations cause the paper fibers to break down. Please do not hang artwork near fireplaces or forced air heating outlets. |

Don't hang artwork on exterior walls In climates with variable seasons, exterior walls are coldest in the winter and warmest in the summer. Rotate artwork every year To minimize the impact on any one piece, rotate them to different walls and rooms. Sunlight causes colors to fade Unless the window has louvered blinds to moderate or redirect sunlight, a sunny wall across from a window is not a good place to hang artwork. |
|
Air "YES!"/mold "NO!" Good air circulation is important. Air conditioning with humidity control is ideal. Attaching small cork squares to the bottom of the frames (near the wall) allows air to circulate there, and reduces the chance of mold forming. Regular dusting also helps. Moving the artwork Grasp the frame by the side rails and carry it flat (parallel) to the ground. Be careful not to bump the artwork as that can dislodge pastel particles. |
