Where can I find old papers?? (More info to read)?

Question

I am creating an art journal, and some of the things I would like to use for decoration are old music sheets, old stationaries, stamps, and just antique type items, papers, lace, etc.????

Answer 1

Don't know where u live but here in vermont and across the lake in upstate ny there are dozens of antinque stores that might have just what ur looking for

Answer 2

Simply, you need to hit your attic, local garage sales, etc.

BUT you can also take present pages, and dunk them in some TEA... dry them in an oven... that will give them an "aged" look.

You can BUY great stuff that is "antiqued"... yet it's expensive.

As a props master, I've taken simple Xeroxed papers, done the "tea-technique", and either ironed them or run them thru the washing machine.

Good Luck, and would love more specific info on what you're seeking,
