Paper sources (no pun intended) to check out!

November 30, 2010 By Lindsay Ward

I received an email today from a fellow illustrator, Melissa Lind (www.melissalind.com), who asked me about where I get my paper. Being a cut paper illustrator I have traveled far and wide to find the best selection. I wanted to post about this because finding great paper shops can be really difficult depending on where you live. Before I moved to Ohio last year I lived in Boston, where I had access to lots of paper shops (some of which are listed below). But when I moved to Ohio I found that what I had in Boston was hard to find. I no longer lived within walking distance of Paper Source (probably one of my favorite stores of all time), nor was I a T ride away from Rugg Road Paper Company. Life was tragic. But then I realized that because I had obsessively been shopping in these shops for almost two years, I could easily go online and buy all the supplies I needed. Now, I want to mention that I was very opposed to this idea. I DON’T SHOP ONLINE. I am a tangible experience kind of gal. Especially with paper, I need to see it and touch it before I buy. However, until Paper Source decides to open a location in Ohio, I will be a digital shopper. And ultimately, my online shopping still allows me to support my ex-local shops, seeing as I know their inventory so well 🙂
So here are some of my favorite paper shops that I hope those of you out there who love paper as much as I do will support:
www.paper-source.com – They sell paper from all over the world along with lots of other amazing items. They also have multiple locations all over the country.
http://www.yelp.com/biz/mikis-paper-berkeley – Miki’s Paper – Berkeley, CA – the most beautiful Japanese paper selection you will ever see in the states.
http://www.ruggroadpaper.com/ – one of my favorite paper stores in Boston, MA. They also sell handmade papers from all over the world.
http://www.thepapermermaid.com/ – I don’t think this place sells online, but if you are ever in Rockport, MA you should pop in. Very cute!
http://www.katespaperie.com/ – New York City – paper mecca (as I like to call it), this is place where my paper fetish started. They have some of the most beautiful papers I have ever seen.
http://www.onpaper.com/index.php – Columbus, Ohio – great paper and a stunning shop. The first time I went in this shop I just wanted to live there (okay that sounded a little weirder than I intended it to…but you get the idea). It is very beautiful inside.
If any one has any other great paper shop suggestions, I am always looking for a new shop to visit!!

Happy Turkey Day!!

November 25, 2010 By Lindsay Ward

Because it is Thanksgiving tomorrow (my absolute most favorite holiday) and I won’t have time to post a Thursday Sketch, what with all the eating I will be doing (elastic pants here I come!), I wanted to make a point to list what I am thankful for this year…

My family, who although I don’t get to see very often because I am the black sheep who lives in Ohio, I love dearly.
The new friends I have made here in Ohio, especially one fabulous writer who has been such a great friend to me.
My Frank, who talked me into moving to Ohio, a year ago today, and I couldn’t be happier with the decision I made to come here.
Frank’s family, who has made moving here and not knowing a soul (other than Frank, of course) so comfortable and easy. They have been so wonderful to me and for that I am truly grateful.
My fabulous agent, Mary Kole, and all of the amazing doors she has opened for me this year, including a new book deal with Penguin and the wonderful Nancy Conescu.
And of course Blue, Egg, Pig, and Pelly, who have all been a huge part of my life this past year. I get to wake up and be creative every day and that is something I wouldn’t trade for anything.
Happy Turkey Day!
