Here is what she has to say about Totobobo:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You may notice in these small productions that I wear some sort of mask on my face. Protecting my lungs from the airborne pastel dust is serious business. I&#8217;ve tried heavy ventilators and they don&#8217;t fit my small featured face. I&#8217;ve tried 3M, and a few other disposable face masks, but it seemed like they were not protecting me enough. For my own health I searched high and low for a small, comfortable, and highly effective filter and found another pastel artist, Paula Ford using a Totobobo. Artist&#8217;s are always at risk by their mediums, especially soft pastel dust! I wanted to bring this up because recently my favorite online blogger friend Loriann underwent lung surgery and so I wanted her to see that she too, can continue working in pastel! I still have to gently wipe up any remaining dust with a damp rag to keep from getting airborne. I&#8217;m not sponsored by Totobobo, but I certainly do encourage pastel artists to check them out for their own health.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Still not convinced? read other&#8217;s comments on Brenda&#8217;s blog &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/brendaboylan.blogspot.com\/2011\/01\/time-lapse-movie-passing-point.html\">Dusty Fingers<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kimberly Vanlandingham said&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Masks are so important! I got Pneumonia when I was in college and they think it was triggered by dust from glazing particles. I had a really big scare even though we didn&#8217;t use any of the &#8220;dangerous&#8221; glazes in school.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>loriann said&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nHi Brenda,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I loved watching you at work and yes I see your totobobo. On another note,do you find that by painting on a toned surface it imbues that color light?I love your work.<br \/>\nThanks for turning me on to the Totobobo. And thanks for taking the time to discuss, by phone, about the toto. Now I have that and my artist&#8217;s air filter. I am beginning to feel safe.<br \/>\nThanks also for your kind mention.<br \/>\nLoriann<br \/>\nPS Now my husband uses a totobobo when he is cleaning the cat litter box- 5 cats lots of floating matter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes the most powerful testimonial comes in very unexpected way.
