Coloured Pencil Accessories Suppliers
Stonehenge - Many people ask where to find it. I have found most art supply shops stock it, its usually located with all your single sheet watercolour papers. Its a printmaking paper and depending on your shop can be sold in a few different colours. If you see the above cp suppliers a few of them also stock papers.
Electric Erasers
> www.artifolk.co.uk
This one isn't a Aus supplier its UK, but the product and the shipping were so cheap it might as well have been.
Sharpeners
I bought my original eletctric sharpener from ebay so i have no help there.
Battery operated sharpeners from Xacto can be bought from Officeworks and cost about $13-. Not as good as the electric but not too shabby either.
Ampersand Pastelbord
This surface isn't just for cp but lots of cp artists are using it.
I have only found suppliers of this in the US which means it costs a fortune.dickblick here.
A similar pastelboard support is just starting to join the market in Australia and is made by Richeson. On first view the product looks very similar to the Ampersand board. It is a slightly lighter board and is little coarser than the Ampersand, I am yet to give it a try with pencils but they are currently having a promotion have a look at it here: http://www.creativityunlimited.com.au/retailers_current_promotions.html
Help support other cp artists if you know of a shop or online store let me know

- Belinda - squidoo was playing up when I originally tried to add this lens into my coloured pencils lens - and I've only just realised this site didn't 'take'. Now corrected - and what's more you're in twice in different places!
It looks as if this one is developing really nicely.
