Hi Jane, you were in Shetland this summer and did a sketch of the Lera Voe phone box and very kindly left me some cards, I would like you to do me some Christmas cards, perhaps with some snow, stars whatever. About a hundred, would that be possible? Henry.

Hello Henry – what a lovely idea! Yes that’s absolutely possible. You’d like the phone box in the picture? With snow or stars – do I understand right? Please email me: Jane@JaneNorthcote.com

Hi. I love your work. I did some prints using chine colle paper some years ago, but now can’t find anyone who sells the paper. I live in the uk. The paper I used last time was given to me. Any ideas? Thanks. Annie

Hello Annie and thank you for your kind comment on my work.
Regarding chine collé paper: I take it you are referring to the thin paper, often coloured, which goes on top of the printing paper for the chine collé technique? See this page of my website for a description of the technique I use.
https://janesketching.com/the-chine-colle-process/
I buy chine collé paper from the following suppliers:
– Intaglio Printmaker: in Southwark. They are the source of all things printmaking. You can buy online. I have a pack of assorted thin coloured tissue paper from them, which I use for chine collé. It is called “Coloured Unryu Tissue Sample Pack”. They also have “Gampi Tissue” which is specifically for chine collé.
– Great Art in the Kingsland Road, London – a huge art supermarket. They do an online service as well. Many of my chine collé prints are made using sheets from their “Feiserseide” 25gsm assorted pack. I’ve also successfully used their paper called “Pulsar Mulberry paper” product reference 11467. It comes in many colours. I like “sand” or “orange”. I have also used their chinese and japanese papers – beige and off-white, for chine collé.
– Atlantis – another huge store with an online offering: search for “Atlantis Art”. I have had a lot of success with their “Khadi Lokta coloured” paper. I like the “saffron” colour, a natural yellow.
– also, as you see from my work, I use torn up newspaper – specifically the Financial Times. I have used ordinary tissue paper from a stationery shop (e.g. Rymans). I’ve also used the paper that is sometimes used to wrap oranges, as it is thin, with bright colours, and sometimes interesting patterns on. I have been gifted a pile of old music scores, and I use those sometimes, for example for my work on St Barts the Less:

I hope that helps? Do let me know how you get on.
