I am thinking of adding a line of speciality art papers to my store. Does anyone have a good source? I have been looking on the net but there are literally thousands of sites and not a lot of information on most of them.
Thanks,
Sharon
 
FlaxArt has a nice selection of papers:

www.thepapercatalog.com

Their line is much nicer than anything carried by the stores who stock supplies for making scrapbooks.*

We get some good ones from Black Ink. If you can't find them in a websearch, call me at the store on Tuesday 800-899-5410
 
Hey, great papers are great papers. Nothin' wrong with snagging good stuff from other businesses. If I could get cool stuff to put in a customer's frame at WalMart I would (if I ever went in there, which I don't). Don't limit yourself to suppliers in our profession. Look to NAMTA (National Art Materials Trade Assn) for good sources in art supplies.
 
Ellen's right about Black Ink...wonderful quality specialty papers and great folks. Carried them for many years.

Thanks for the advice. I will try all of the above and see what turns up. I am trying to find something that will enhance my framing business. GIFTS ARE NOT IT... I find giftware in every store on main street and we have a Target, Shopko, 2 Dollar Stores and a Super WalMart in a town of 20,000.
