For the watercolors, I mostly use this set: http://www.dickblick.com/products/sakura-koi-watercolor-sets/ For the "Fragile/Resilient page though, I used Peerless: http://www.peerlesscolor.com/world_famous/home.html. I love the black pen from Scarlet Lime and us it for all my lettering. http://www.scarletlime.com/store/proddetail.php?prod=penSL Hope this helps!

Today your blog popped into my mind as I drove to the hospital to see my 97-yr-old Mom -- always these paradoxical reminders of human fragility and strength.Though I couldn't be painting, I could think about it as I drove. What I thought of were some of your recent entries -- preparing the support with paint and scraping it, your stamps, your colors, your language. I thought, too, about how much you share of yourself through your art and how connected I feel to you because of it. Thank you. <br />Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18180871648761270429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664926996764785692.post-39904326345372735522012-12-04T17:58:40.187-05:002012-12-04T17:58:40.187-05:00I'd love to win one of your soothing ATC's...I'd love to win one of your soothing ATC's...and I am a follower!
