As I continue to pack up my studio, I have come across hard
copies of some of my early blog posts (2007) and realized that some information
needs to be updated.
We carry papers from four manufacturers to give you the most
comprehensive selection possible. We have all of Paplin and Lake City colors in
four widths, with the exception of some Lake City papers that are not available
in 1/16”. These include standard strips, mirror foils, vellum, graduated, pearls,
metallics, and two tones. We have all of
Quilled Creation’s specialty papers including graduated, dark center, vellum,
and two-toned. We don’t have their standard colors because they are duplicate
colors and they are shorter than Paplin and Lake City. We stock J&J’s (from
England) edged papers and their graduated, dark center, two tones, and
holofoils. We have such a big selection of standard colors we don’t bring many
in from England since they are a shorter length and are expensive to import.
Colors are always an
issue and depending on your computer monitor you may or may not see the true
color. Since no manufacturer offers a color chart, here is a suggestion. Print
out a set of our product listing/order forms
and as you acquire new colors (or if you know the numbers of colors you already
have) just glue a snippet right next to the color on the forms, instant color
chart! Well, maybe not instant but
you get the idea. You might even want to pencil in the date you put the snippet
on the form. On occasion one
manufacturer will discontinue or change a color that is available from another
manufacturer. Dye lots do change and while we try to make a note of that in our
product description, sometimes we don’t know in advance so we are as surprised
as you are
Of course you always have the option of sending us a snippet
of a color you can’t identify and we will email you and let you know what it is
or what the closest match is. Send them to 25 Indian Run, Enfield, CT 06082.
