Art Supplies

New supply of azurite:
I recently obtained a new supply of top quality azurite. It is being prepared for shipment, it has been crushed, but not yet mulled and levigated. Weight per vial averages 10 grams. Due to the rising cost of quality azurite, I have to ask $7 per vial for this particular batch. I currently have 500 grams on hand. I am endeavoring to obtain more azurite at a decent quality, hopefully at a lower cost. I still have some of the so-so azurite for $2.


Leaf stock low:
My stock of silver leaf, SL, is very low. GLC is sold out entirely. I may have more by 1Q00. Maybe some double cennini  and tin leaf too. 


NYL Naples yellow stock gone:
NYL Naples yellow is no longer being imported, so I have no stock. I may be able to get some from Europe. I'll let you know. See other yellow pigments


New ink making supplies:
I now have Oak Galls, GAL, and copperas, CRS, for making ink. You'll need some Gum Arabic as well. 


Now selling cut vellum:
I am now selling cut pieces of vellum, figure about $25 per foot. Whole hides are still $15 per foot.


Price changes:
    $7 VKL, LLP, AZ(very best to date ) 
    $5 CIN, SEP-?
    $2 SGO, MAZ, GIB, AZ(so-so) -?


Pennsic tags:
Surplus Pennsic tags are available by mail, see Order Tags. Instructions for using the Pennsic 25 tags are now posted in easy-to-read type. Illustrated instructions will be coming soon.


AOL CDs wanted:
I am still collecting junk CD-ROMs for a project. I need the plastic, not the bits, so bag up those AOL junk mailings and pass them on to me. Thanks! in
advance.
