Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: Marcia asks:"I bought some 5" x 7" note pads that I need to have cut to be able to make those long note pads that are good for grocery lists. Do you have any idea where I can have them cut? Also, I've been looking for those pens that you can put matching paper inside the barrel of and I haven't found them. Do you know where I can find them?"
A: Office Depot, Office Max and Kinko's will be able to cut your note pads for you. Most can cut 400 sheets at once, so you can have them stack the pads and have many cut for a single charge.
You should be able to purchase the Pentel RSVP® pens there as well. If not, try Target or Walmart.

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Julie has a suggestion for the Striped Wipe technique: "Try using a makeup sponge instead of a baby wipe. A sponge uses less ink and you get more swipes per design."
