Oil Pastels

What is the best way to store oil pastels? What is the best way to frame them?
I currently put them in a draw with wax paper between them. I know they can't be varnished or coated - any suggestions re framing them, where to get parts, etc.
Thank you!
Your storage solution is fine.
As for framing, treat them like you would a dry pastel or watercolor. They should be under glass with a mat because they never get a hard surface and stay somewhat sticky. Dust becomes a major consideration if they are framed as you would a painting on canvas.
michael's, Jo-Ann's, Hobby Lobby all sell diy frame kits as well as pre-built frames and supplies.
You can store your paintings/drawings pretty much indefinitely just as you're doing now. Make sure the temperature and humidity don't go through wild changes and you'll be just fine.
