Chalk Pastel Gets The Boot

The chalk pastel piece I've been working on fell to the floor with a resounding 'bonk' this morning. It dropped vertically and landed on the bottom edge because I had used fairly stiff, heavy paper and in doing so managed to dislodge the last 2 hours of work I had applied.
There was enough to fill my palm and and I am not impressed and/or amused.
I had given up on chalk pastels several years ago due its tendency to release itself from any surface despite rigorous precautions and preparation.
I hereby declare that from this moment forward I will shun - shun I say! - this unreliable and fickle medium to the end of my days!
