Hey Marilyn, this brought back my days in art school. We used a pounce bag filled with charcoal powder to tap on a cartoon or drawing stencil to transfer the design on to wet plaster to do a fresco. We were replicating the same technique that Michelangelo used and my guess everyone else. Sometimes you see a pounce used in period docudramas.
Hi Jim, Yes, I read about the fact that artists, and those who do needle-crafts like embroidery and quilting, still use a pounce bag to transfer designs to paper and cloth. One can make their own pounce by grinding charcoal or chalk. It is also sold in arts and craft stores and online.
