Strathmore – New Inkjet Iron-On Transfer Sheets—Dark

Strathmore has created new Inkjet Iron-On Transfer Sheets for dark fabrics to complement the popular Inkjet Iron-On Transfer Sheets for light fabrics.  Now artists and crafters can express themselves on fabric without the limitations of traditional transfer sheets.  The transferred image stretches with fabric and feels soft; it’s not overly stiff or shiny and will not crack, peel or separate from fabric.  Artists can draw or paint directly on the sheets using many different media and combine inkjet images with their drawings.  The possibilities are endless, and now is the time to start creating holiday gifts!  Transfer Sheets measure 8.5” x 11” and come 3 sheets to a pack.  See your retailer and visit www.strathmoreartist.com.

Savoir Faire – Artistico Cut Sheet Packs: ¼ and ½ Sheet Sizes

Full size Artistico Watercolor sheets are the flagship product in Fabriano’s art paper line.  Artistico is a mould-made paper of 100% cotton, acid-free, chlorine-free and internally and externally sized using no animal fat.  It is the perfect combination of sizing, absorption and durability, allowing for total control.  Now, Fabriano has produced the same Artistico paper in 11”x14” quarter sheets (10-Pack) and 16”x20” half sheets (5-Pack), using both 140 lb. and 300 lb. weights.  The cut sheet packs are perfect for framing artwork in standard size frames, making smaller works and for travel.  All sizes retail for the same price; only the amount of sheets per pack varies.  They are available in Extra-White Hot Press and Cold Press surfaces.  See your retailer and visit www.savoirfaire.com.
