"Teri asked where she could get the paper i mentioned. Could you please tell her that i get mine from kelly paper and i imagine a paper company or good stationery store could get it for her."<br /><br />And from me: Any big city has a commercial paper source; I used to see the Wausau truck in KC a lot, and I know it stocked a lot of the office supply stores. I found it online, too...let us know what you end up with!Kate (Cathy Johnson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03296053923338246127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-32129056385207146402011-01-07T21:35:41.924-06:002011-01-07T21:35:41.924-06:00Any ideas on the best place to find this Wausau pa...Any ideas on the best place to find this Wausau paper?<br />thanksTerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16029722057577018059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-63845115548143090392011-01-07T13:56:50.334-06:002011-01-07T13:56:50.334-06:00Thank you, Ellen! You are so right on the money.....Thank you, Ellen! You are so right on the money...for years, I used an inexpensive Pelikan hardbound book, a mechanical pencil and a technical pen. Then added a few colored pencils. STILL some of my favorite journal pages are from those days.<br /><br />My students often ask about the best paper, or brush, as if there were a magic brush that suits everyone or a paper that answers every need. Not so, there IS no magic brush or pigment, and most of us have our favorite paper that doesn't work at ALL for someone else--or for a different medium! <br /><br />I like the papers I like because I know how to use them (mostly!) and don't have to worry about them. Would they work for you, or Liz, or any one else? Maybe, maybe not. <br /><br />The two most important tools you have when journaling are your mind and your drawing hand. Period. I've often been caught out without my "favorites," and draw with a Bic on a paper napkin...that can be glued into your journal if you wish!<br /><br />Wonderful post, thank you!Kate (Cathy Johnson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03296053923338246127noreply@blogger.com
