[Oa] Paper Stock for OA

[seshomaru at cox.net]

Hello All:

I second Art's choice.  I have been using Canson Mi-teintes  for several years in various applications (paper sculpture and OA).  It comes in a good variety of colors, has a nice tooth and is just thick/thin enough.  

Recently, the local art supply stores I frequent have begun carrying 8.5"x11" sheets in all colors.  I was also able to pick up a swatch book from one of the stores.  This is very handy for quick selection of colors.

Just my two cents.
