Art Supplies for Christmas?

Didya get any cool supplies for Christmas? I got a gift certificate to New Mexico Clay (online source for glazes), "Handbuilt Pottery Techniques Revealed" by Jacqui Atkin, and some Precious Metal Bronze clay.

HUGE 18x24 hot-press Aquarelle watercolor paper!
an isssue of Hi-Fructose
(more intelligent articles than juxtapoz!)
and a bunch of those sumi ink brush pens
in the colors i ran out of!
and a 12x48 canvas that is screaming for a rowers piece!
Merry christmas!
:)

I got a cool book on Maori & Northwest coast art called "Manawa, pacific heartbeat", for reference, study and amazement.
@ Little Lost Tiki, Is it me, or is juxtapoz moving more and more in to the "wow, that single dot on a blank canvas is so cool", highbrow art direction. I picked up a copy of high fructose and loved reading it.
Have a merry X-mess everyone

well I got myself 3 used books on painting and colored pencil technique . aaanndd Drum roll please.... MY NEW COMPUTER WAS JUST DELIVERED 2O MINUTES AGO!!! Im completely shocked I thought It wasnt gonna get here till next week. It seems like I have a bunch of new supplies because I went through my studio and found a bunch of great stuff I didn't know I had. LOTS of really nice papers and a grocery bag full of Windsor Newton and Grumbacher tube watercolors. I also found a whole stack of professional pallets, so I cleaned one off completely and squeezed out all new colors. I've got a brand new pallets of good quality paints.

Now back to the previously scheduled art making!!!! Merry Kinishmas all of my great art friends here on TC xoxoxoxox Dawn

Well, no supplies this year for me. Haven't had the money for anything new, but my Mother In law did buy me all 3 Tiki Water Fountains from our local Walgreens store. I've been dyin' to buy them myself since I first saw them, but this is just as well. Can't wait to set them up.

I got a gift certificate for Amazon and have been looking at large format printers. I guess that is an art supply since I will using it to make bigger prints and film for screen printing.

I got some new acrylic paints and a screnprinting kit, expect some prints in the coming weeks.

All I got was a rock.

Achulky I got some colored Sharpies from Fishsticks which I use a lot in postcards and the drawings I give away. But speaking of not giving stuff away so much: I also go a swell digital camera from Sparky and Cookie which means I should be able to photograph and post pictures. And get rich off of Tiki, of course.

Woofy, glad to hear you got GROG' rock GROG send to you. Hope you enjoy it.

Gift Cards for art supplys the kids got me some Canvas,s .

Me too. 4 new stretched Canvases.
Oh, and a circa 1960's carved wood Tiki.
Maybe I'll paint it in a picture!

"one can ALWAYS BUY supplies

Can't I cut out the middleman and just buy brains?

NO!

no effort equals no reward.....

think about it.....

if'n you got ENOUGH brains to do that!
:lol:

Braaaainnns! BRAIIIIINNNNNSSSS!

I work at a bookstore, so brains was covered...

Sold some pteces, so bought suplies...

So the wife got me mugs and Kraken black rum!

Happy to say, my Gambino shelf is a little heavier now!

Many of you know that getting a decent picture of your work is often harder than creating the work in the first place! :lol: I got me one of those diffuser light boxes with the 2 lights and tripod. It won't make my art any better but if will be easier to photograph the flaws :D

I got nothing, Santa dissed me, luckily I have a pretty good stash of supplies. I had to settle for the no frills, basics for christmas, like making the house payment and enjoying some heat and electricity.
