 I am currently building this site, but wanted you to be able to order the dusts now.  If your order is over $200, shipping will be added based upon the true cost of shipping for what you order.  I am currently shipping to US and Canada addresses. .  Right now, all dusts are being mailed to US addresses with the USPS "If it fits, it ships" Priority Mail packaging.   Canadian packages will be sent First Class.

The Beginning Dusting Kit

The beginning petal dust kit contains the 25 basic colors you need to dust or paint many designs.  This is a very versatile collection used for years by Ruth Rickey in her classes and now a favorite of many former students. 

Beginning Dusting Kit  $80 for 25 colors

The Beginning Pearl Luster Dust Kit

This kit includes 10 pearl luster dusts that are the perfect compliment to the above set.  Students in the advanced dusting classes have discovered how they work in harmony with the original petal dust kit. 

Beginning Pearl Luster Kit   $33 for 10 colors
