This is my favorite adhesive but any similiar type of tape works just as well. Yes, you will go through maybe 3 refills on one 16 page journal but the ease of use is well worth it.
I printed up a bunch of these reproductions of my journal pages a few years ago and still have a bunch so I thought I'd see if they worked good for cutting up. They DO! and I certainly don't mind you cutting them up and using them in your journaling either. we sell them on
www.teeshamoore.com.
and of course, we sell collage sheets too. I used them exclusively to cover some block canvases show here. Other sources of collage include copies of old journal pages, magazines of ALL kinds. You should know that I do not buy a magazine based on how good it is for collage. I buy ones that I like to read and then glean stuff from them. Also, children's books (with good illustrations) that you might find on the bargain table or at thrift stores. as well as other books at thrift stores. vintage postcard shows provide some interesting images that you can enlarge (most are way past the copyright laws). They usually have stashes of old photos as well behind their booths (you have to ask them). wrapping papers at those beautiful places like
www.paperstudio.com are always great too.

If you get a chance could you repeat, or add here in the comments, the name of the pastels in pots that you use, and do they come with the tool with the sponge on the end, or is that a separate item?
ReplyDeleteThanks for this and for the additional info about the adhesive. Going to buy a bit of stuff (ha!)after work, then going home to play!
I was looking for them as well, and they're actually called PanPastels. They have a website, www.panpastel.com and while they listed Dick Blick as a retailer for this product, my local store in West LA didn't have them. However, you can special order them at the store or simply place your own direct order via the website.
ReplyDeleteI work in a library and was discarding older magazines in the back room the other day. I thought, Teesha would have a blast with some of these. Maybe you could ask your local library what they do with their mags. I bet they'd save em for you.
ReplyDeleteThe San Francisco Dick Blick doesn't have them either, but said they might be in their online store. I found the website for PanPastels, but was confused about what comes with what. Will have to check back in the am, when my mind is clearer...
ReplyDeleteYou are simply the BEST! All this information is wonderful! I can hardly wait to journal! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I was so hoping you would do a post on your supplies - thank you! Linda B.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has just been so amazed by your art and said excidely "she can make books into boxes"!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that so cool, just had to tell you!
I did order the PanPastels from Dick Blick. They were pretty low on stock but looked like they would be replensihed by 12/2. I got a small set to try. Am looking forward to them. I love they way they created depth on your pages.
ReplyDeleteomg i love your blog... thanks for making my friday afternoon...
