SCALING DOWN

Since I moved into an apartment, I have had to face the reality of too much stuff, and not enough space. So... I have to part with those things that might be "extras," or "doubles" of my art supplies, accessories, and storage essentials.
I have a number of items that Kate Johnson calls "discardables." I think of them as "pass-on-ables," and I am going to offer them for sale here. I am posting the basic info on the items, but I can answer any questions you have if you drop me an email at mysticrev1@aol.com

Most of these items can be found in one or more of the many online catalogs. I referred to a number of the catalogs in order to set fair prices. I hope that you will find the prices appropriate to the item. I prefer to use PayPal for payment, but will accept a Postal Money Orders. I will use the least costly method of mailing, and I use recycled packaging materials whenever I can. I will to expensive method of mailing, and the safest, to get them to you. I work in a small post office, so I have access to all the pricing options. If you would prefer a different mailing option than the ones I have listed with the items, let me know and I will price it for you. Here is what I have to pass on to you:

ACCESSORIES:

The Robbie Laird Palette (used). This one has lots and lots of mixing space, places to put brushes and pencils, and uses a color wheel layout. There is a bit of staining from some of the paints, but it won't create problems with future use.
$15.00 plus shipping



Three Drawer Storage Chest (used)
Unfinished Birch box, for pencils, pens, pastels or
other storage. This is a solid box that will protect your supplies. It is heavy, so I want to price the shipping in advance for you. Parcel Post shipping would be the least expensive for you.
$15.00 plus shipping


Wooden Pochade Box (used)
Has wooden Palette included, several sections for tubes, mediums, painting and sketching supplies. The hinges and latches are showing their age, but the box is in excellent shape. It would be easy to refurbish this box for plein aire with the addition of a plate to attach a tripod. Accessories to revamp the box are available through Judson's Guerrilla Painting. The palette has been used, but is in good condition.
$18.00 plus shipping


Three PASTEL BOXES
From Judson's.They are BIRCH (or Ash), NOT plastic!
They are no longer available and I hate to part with them!
The foam lining is in very good condition, no damage.
A real bargain!
Nearly New - $30.00 for all three, plus shipping



TRAN Pencil Case
Holds 125 pencils -Removable units can be set up for ease of use. The smaller photo shows one of the units set up - it is triangular in shape, light and easy to sit on your art table. The larger photo shows the case closed.
Closures are Velcro, heavy polyester fabric inside and out.
Used, but in like new condition
(I haven't seen this kind in catalogs for a while now)
I have all my pencils stored in these cases.

BOOKS:

THE WATERCOLOR FLOWER ARTIST'S BIBLE $11.00
Hardcover, spiral binding. "Very Good" condition. I held the book in a damp hand at one time, and the first few pages ( first page, index, and introduction), have a slight "warp" at the top of the page. Otherwise, book is brand new. Filled with full-color illustrations and step-by-step examples.

HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR PERSONAL PAINTING STYLE $15.00
Hardcover with dustcover, unused, in "Like New" condition, never used, has small amount of shelf wear on dustcover edges, and bottom of binding edge. Full color North Light book with price of $27.99 on cover.

HOW TO PAINT WATERCOLORS THAT SHINE $11.00
An "International Artist" book, softcover, "Like New" condition, never used. Cover has fine scratches from shelf wear, visible only with reflected light, do not affect cover art or cover. It is an "art maps" book with 15 paintings with grids and step-by-step guides for painting. Great for learning, or for practicing technique, color work, and values. Original price on cover, $19.99

PAINTING WITH WATER-SOLUBLE COLORED PENCILS $15.00
North Light book by Gary Greene, softcover in "Like New" condition, never used. Binding perfect, cover has a few of the barest scratches from sitting on my shelf. Filled with full color illustrations, step-by-step examples, covers all aspects of using the medium. Original price on cover, $21.99

DRAW - HOW TO MASTER THE ART $12.00
Softcover, 250 pages of examples, illustrations, techniques, how-to's, step-by-steps, in black and white, sepia, and color. Foreword is by David Hockney. This book is in "Good to Very Good" condition. It the binding is tight and there are no marks or damage to the pages. There is some shelf wear on cover and page corners. It is a "used" book and I have added a little to the price because of the weight of the book. It is as heavy as the combined weight of the two softcover books listed above.

If there is something on this list that you would like to buy, combine with other items, have shipped differently than stated, want detailed information on, or have questions about price, please contact me and I will reply promptly. Sales will be on a first-come, first served, basis. I ship within one or two days, at most, after payment is received.

Thanks for your consideration and help in my letting-go process. There may be more "deals" to come because I'm not finished yet!!
