The Shopping List

Getting into the book making spirit, I realized that I had better have my supplies ready so I can start on my projects. So, after consulting a few books and seeing what the common threads were, here is what I came up with to have in my bookmaking box:

• Various fabrics and rice papers (for covers)
• PVA, wheat, or rice pastes
• Glue brush
• Various threads
• Assortment of craft needles
• Needle tool
• Mat Board
• Piles of varieties of papers for folios
• Sandpaper (to get the snags out)
• Cloths (for clean up)
• Bone folder
• Large metal art clips
• Square angle rule / 18" rule (I prefer metal ones)
• Scissors / utility knife / x-acto knife
• Beeswax (you can mind mine if you like)

Of course, while residing in the Hills, these things aren't all available. This weekend I am going to Portland to visit my fiance and pick up what items I am currently lacking. Next week... the book making begins!!!
