Check out the hardware and tools sections. You won’t be sorry!
American Science and Surplus
Incredible stuff at unbelievable prices! Lots of junk you’ll just have to have. Be forewarned…
Woodworks Ltd
An amazing selection of wooden craft parts to build with.
Sky Blue Pink
Advertises cool stuff for non-fancy prices!
Volcano Arts
Handmade book and bookbinding supplies, paper marbling, clock parts, kits, etc etc.
Ready Stamps
This is the place that you must use to have stamps made from your own designs. Not only are the prices competitive, but Ready Stamps is a community-based business of The United Cerebral Palsy Association of San Diego, promoting the independence of disabled persons through training and employment.

A full selection of art supplies. Together with Dick Blick (below) you’ll be able to find all the put-it-together stuff you’ll need.

Another very complete art supply shop. Between Dick Blick and MisterArt (above), just about all your non-specialty supply needs can be filled.
USArtQuest
Collage artist Susan Pickering Rothamel has made available all the supplies she most likes to use herself.

Rubber stamping and collage resources.
John Neal, Bookseller

Paper, paper, paper…and more paper! Great papers.
I’ve ordered from Dick Blick several times. Great place. Thanks for the links. I’ll check them out.
I’ve gotten great service from Dick Blick, both online and over the phone!
American Science and Surplus is my FAVORITE.
Where else can you get a Doctors White coat or Lab equipment or a box of BLANK Dominos ???
or a case of TINY BOTTLES???
Treasures on every page, huh Debe?
I see a bunch of my favorites here: Mister Art, Dick Blick, Ready Stamps and Paper Source. I need to check out the others. Thanks Cyndi.
I love the collage you used as an illustration!
Thank you, Eileen!
Oooh goodie, these look very interesting.
Great list! There’s a few on here that I’ve never used; I will definitely check them out!
Also, for wholesale supplies, I usually go to http://www.nationalartcraft.com .
Keep up the good work Cyndi!
