Prompts

Here on this very site, I keep a pocketful of interesting images or words or ideas to keep us all creating, regardless of medium!

Below you’ll find a host of interesting links from art suppliers to sources of inspiration and otherwise great stuff.

Creative ProcessLinks!

Etsy

An inexhaustible source of handmade wonderfuls, and materials to make your own.

Paper Source

Great staples, broad colors, talented staff.

Flax Art & Design

Incredible San Francisco art store with the largest collection of art papers I’ve ever laid eyes on.  They must have a thousand flat files.

Scrap-SF

This industrial clearing house is my own personal favorite.  I almost hesitate to give up this source!

100 Proof Press

My favorite site for purchasing unmounted rubber stamps.  They’ve got a tremendous selection, and bargain grab bags if you like to gamble.

MisterArt.com

A great on-line art store for those art-pantry supplies.

The Dares

This team of super-creative girls knows their way around a scrapbook, and I don’t mean thoroughfares!  They are all about the roads less traveled.  Check ‘em out.

Illustration Friday

While I’m not an illustrator, I adore this site!  It is so inspiring and refreshing to browse through the talented illustrations featured here.  The Friday word is always a treat!

Castle in the Air

This small Berkeley, CA studio is a gem of a retail shop, a sunny loft studio, and a custom printing house all in one.  The staff is so artistic it’ll make you wither.  I have taken a number of classes, and one in particular “Specimen Box” with Alice Armstrong that influenced my BookBox.

Dover Publications

Most people are familiar with the Dover Publications, but you can also register with them for weekly digital high res samples.  I’ve built a nice little image library from their Friday afternoon free-bees.

ScrapinStyletv.com

All things scrapbooking, and a good amount of great altered stuff too.  They also have exclusive monthly collections.
