Collage Supplies:
Blank Books and Boxes

I've split the books page into blank books (this page) and how-to & clip art books/CDs.

These board books, misc. blank books, journals, metal tins and cigar boxes, are a good base to start a collage project.

Blank Board Books

These are great! They have blank (unvarnished) white pages. (I don't know if you've painted or collaged onto kids' board books, but they're usually so shiny you have to sand and gesso them before anything will stick.) These blank ones are just white pages — but still heavy pages about matte-board thickness — so you don't have to prep them. They can be cut with a scroll saw (or the scroll saw attachment to a dremel).

Look at these cool samples made with these books:

Retro Notebooks These are adorable. Reproductions of French notebooks with rounded corners. 6.5" x 8.5". Heavy covers are matte-coated stock (so they have a wonderful, buttery feel). Two of the covers have gloss coating on just the images. Four designs (each with 20 blank, unlined pages inside unless otherwise noted): Teal (Art Nouveau woman). is sold out.
