Boy, was I surprised!<br /><br />The paper might take painting on both sides, but my fear was the second side would cause a breakout bleedthrough and make a mess of both drawings. For just $6 I'm willing to use it as a one-side-only book.Speckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374976843193713274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336323728577552774.post-13042804781046147062011-09-14T23:13:16.457-05:002011-09-14T23:13:16.457-05:00I have nothing but a Wallymart by me and so I thin...I have nothing but a Wallymart by me and so I think I will try one of these. I would try the wet paint on the other side of the paper. My thought is if it works so well on one side it will on the other. So far on most of my paper I haven't been wrong but I will admit to not putting something behind a page that turns out so special I might want to photocopy it for something else. Six bucks sounds good too!Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336323728577552774.post-69721175709928494452011-09-14T15:41:29.170-05:002011-09-14T15:41:29.170-05:00Capt Elaine - The sketchbook is $6.00.

I can't imagine what it is. <br /><br />Maybe my TP has aloe and lotion embedded in it. Ewww. I'll have to check on that.Speckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374976843193713274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336323728577552774.post-31734126249889814442011-09-14T15:27:32.836-05:002011-09-14T15:27:32.836-05:00You forgot to tell us the price of this wonderful ...You forgot to tell us the price of this wonderful new book...

That back stain looks like a handprint—maybe a sweaty hand or greasy from lunch or hand lotion?Laure Ferlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966163843633158039noreply@blogger.com
