Lana Vanguard

I get excited about materials, but I have rarely discussed it round here.

I've got this new stuff called Lana Vanguard paper





It's not really paper at all, it does not absorb moisture and it is highly space age




You can infinitely wipe it clean





I might change these all around. Cos I can! Also to make them more good.

What medium did you do these with?

Delightful! I need to get my hands on some of that...

Two comments already! How unusual!

It was all watercolour Bryan. Well, watercolour and gouache... having pale and opaque colours was necessary, because transparent washes on this stuff just skid into puddles, and there's no absorbency. It's trippy.

In some ways it's like the medium I've been looking for... I've never felt good about my clumsy first strokes being stuck to the page, and they aren't with this... but I'm not the scans look that much like the originals.

it will be one thread among many, but I will pursue this strange stuff.

Hey there... I just happened across your blog. I LOVE your stuff -- very fresh and original. They have a very nice depth to them.

There's something like Vanguard... called Yupo paper, I think that might be a bit better known.

Thanks Lash!

Hi Chloe :)
I was curious about the specific type of paper and it does look interesting. Did you pre-moist it or is work on the usual dry surface?

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering
if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

Very good blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a
little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many choices out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Many thanks!
