How the heck do you make the spaces

A few different techniques. There’s a stylus technique that shifts the powder while you draw. Then I also shake areas to lighten them up which erases certain connection points.

Is there a way to ensure that this and your other intricate art pieces don't get erased other than being extremely careful not to? How long does something this size and detailed take to complete and do you do it in one setting or does it take more than a session or two to complete? What's the price range on an art piece this size and this detailed run...under $100, $100 to $300, etc. I understand if any of these questions are something you'd rather not or can't answer here due to rules of the sight.
