Art Journal Every Day: My Paper Stash


ArtJournalEveryDayLogo-150If you're new to Art Journal Every Day, there is a short introduction here.  All of the previous posts can be found archived here.  There is a flickr group for sharing right here.  Remember, it's just ten minutes of nourishing your creative self every day!  No need to finish anything or even like it.  If you've done some art journaling this week and you've blogged about it, or put it on flickr, please leave a link in the linky list at the end of this post.  Thanks!

I'm a great believer that having the right supplies makes any artistic endeavor easier.  That said, the right supplies don't have to cost a lot of money.  They are often things that you can make yourself or already have sitting around.  Today I want to talk to you about paper.  

My paper stash is enormous, but I use it almost every time I sit down to art journal. As you know, I'm a huge fan of making art journaling easy and quick.  Collage is the quickest and easiest way I know to get color and pattern onto my pages.  Here's a look at the kinds of papers I like to keep around:

Delipaper
I don't think I've been shy about my addiction to deli paper.  It collages beautifully and is very inexpensive.  I have a huge bag full of all kinds of printed and painted deli paper!

Bookpages
Book pages are a staple for me.  I like to collect lots of different books with differently colored papers, sizes of type, etc.

Paintedbookpages
I also keep a wide variety of painted (and stamped) book pages around.  Book paper collages easily and is another inexpensive surface to experiment on.

Paintednewspaper
Another surface that I often paint and have around is newspaper.  It's so big, and again, collages beautifully!

Scrapbookpaper
Scrapbook paper is always good to have around.  I tend to prefer the thinner papers when collaging, but they can be hard to find these days.

Leftovermonoprints
My monoprints don't always turn out the way I had hoped they would.  But I don't throw the bad ones away.  I keep them to cut up and use in my art journal!

Leftoverartbits
You know I love to put decorated tags into my art journal.  I also use a lot of little art projects — or art bits — that aren't quite large enough to be anything on their own.

Stenciled&painted
Sometimes when I'm not feeling the muse to make finished art, I stencil or stamp or paint some papers for later use.  I love having these in my stash to pull out when I need them!

Scraps
Finally, I'm clearly on my way to being featured on the TV show "Hoarders" because I keep all my itty bitty scraps "just in case."  I really do use them, but I should probably also throw some of them away….

How about you?  Do you keep a hearty paper stash on hand to use in your art journal?

Here is this week's linky list:

  • Julie, I have a lot of the papers that you are talking about. I often wonder what to do with them and whether or not I’ll ever be able to have time to use them. I do sort through them periodically and discard some of them, though. I’m more into painting canvases these days, so who knows what will eventually happen with those papers … we’ll see!

  • I’m afraid I’ll be invited to be on Hoarders…before you. Hmmmmm. Now that I tried the Gelli Print Plate, well, it’s going to get worse! Not a bad vice, though, right?! Have a fun weekend, Julie!

  • It you like the scrapbook paper thin but what you like is thick. I have found that the papers can be split into layers like a cloth napkin it takes just a little bit of work at the corners but it doesn’t take too long

  • I love deli paper since I took your class and have used pieces of the designs in my art journal. I have scrappy paper and printed pages and other pieces of paper that I collect (like maps when we go somewhere). I have recently purged tons of scrappy paper and scraps since I’ve collected quite a bit over the past decade. My son’s art teacher is thrilled to have the for her classes to use on “free art” day.

  • Hi Julie, I would love to know if any body can tell me alternate names for your ‘deli paper’ [I am not in the US] We have something called ‘greaseproof paper’ which is used for food wrap and is also very handy for using as a quick release in intricate dies when putting them through the machine….. 🙂 It is shiny on one side, the outside of the wrap – Would that do the job? Thanks, Pauline

  • I have quite a stash of Colorbok scrapbook paper that I use for collage. I rarely use other papers for collage. Your painted papers are awesome. Colorbok is sold by Walmart and the paper is quite thin, so much so that I rarely use it for anything but collage. It’s not that expensive either.

  • I save all my papers! I even save the paper towels I use to wipe my brushes and clean up my artsy messes. I use the hardback book covers as a canvas to paint on (it works great, just gesso if it’s shiny) and then save the book pages too. I have it all organized with Dollar Store items. I got a big plastic basket with lid and handles for the larger papers, and as the papers get smaller, I use food container holders for every size…then I hide them in the closet until I need them. Oh and they are all see thru so I can see the colors of the papers inside.

  • I have finally put all the 12×12 paper in one place and the 8 1/2 x 11 paper in another place and have decided that I am not allowed to buy more paper for 5 years! I also took paper that I loved but was saving because I loved it so much and cut it up in medium and small pieces. Since it’s already cut up, using parts of pages shouldn’t be a problem…if I could find them. I moved and my sister packed my art stuff and now I can’t find anything!! I’ve spent a fortune on duplicates of things I use regularly but can’t find! Anyway, when I find that cut-up paper, there will be collages!

  • I have finally put all the 12×12 paper in one place and the 8 1/2 x 11 paper in another place and have decided that I am not allowed to buy more paper for 5 years! I also took paper that I loved but was saving because I loved it so much and cut it up in medium and small pieces. Since it’s already cut up, using parts of pages shouldn’t be a problem…if I could find them. I moved and my sister packed my art stuff and now I can’t find anything!! I’ve spent a fortune on duplicates of things I use regularly but can’t find! Anyway, when I find that cut-up paper, there will be collages!

  • Oh my…I keep all my itty-bitty paper scraps too! I keep them in little sandwich-size ziplock baggies and am always so tickled when I find just what I need out of them. Is that hoarding? I think not.
