Artist // Gift Guide
This collection of gifts is extra special to me as it can be challenging at times to find quality and unique art supplies. For those of you wanting to purchase for that artist in your life, these items are all beautiful and high quality, making for a very special gift.
01 Hand Carved 14 Paint Tray // Hand made and coated with a beautiful matte white speckled glaze.
02 Natural Pigment Handmade Watercolor Ink // Made with Manitoulin honey, wildcrafted tree sap, hand-gathered, washed and sifted stone, and the finest lightfast pigments.
03 Anni Albers Book // In this book you’ll find her wall hangings, designs for commercial use, drawings and studies, jewelry, and prints.
04 All Purpose Brush // A great tool for anyone who likes to sketch. Allows for removal of graphite and eraser shavings without smearing your work.
05 Handmade Artist Charcoal // 15 pieces made from this woman’s backyard willow tree branches. I mean, come on. Does it get more homemade than that?!
06 Japanese Drawing Pen // These Muji pens can quickly become an obsession for artists and writers alike. A definite one to have in stock at all times.
07 Japanese Mini Pencil Sharpeners // I’m a sucker for a good metal pencil sharpener but these are great for on the go as they contain the pencil shavings preventing your bag from having to store remnants.
