Saffy again

Ok , so here is another version of Saffy (see earlier posts). I have done this because I messed with the other so much that eventually the pastels mixed and all the vibrancy of the colour was lost. So for this attempt (which is or isn't finished !) I have tried a new technique and better materials.
Firstly I have used predominantly "Unison" pastels with a little Conte crayons thrown in. Then I have used a fine grade sandpaper to paint upon(grade P800) for the first time having seen a member at the art club I go to use them. In fact she gave me this piece and it's the first time I have used it, and the "unison" pastels for that matter. So thank you Barbara, but when do the fingerprints grow back ?
