Following are some additional products we recently acquired in response to requests from local customers:

VERILUX -NATURAL SPECTRUM BULBS Art supplies : Verilux® Natural Spectrum® incandescent light bulbs offer the closest replication of natural sunlight available in an incandescent to show colors more accurately, increase contrast between black and white, and reduce glare, eyestrain and fatigue. Made of hand blown glass, these super long life bulbs contain neodymium, a unique earth element that filters out the excessive yellow part of the light spectrum to which our eyes are most sensitive.	Krylon Crafter's Metallic Colors Art supplies : Krylon Crafter's color provides a superior quality, high-gloss finish that is even safe to use on styrofoam and other plastic craft foams. The smooth gentle sheen enhances all types of surfaces, including dried or silk florals, wreaths, wicker, and so forth.	R & F ENCAUSTICS Art supplies : Encaustic is composed of beeswax and resin. It is applied molten to a surface and fused to create a lustrous enamel effect. Its exquisite visual properties make it perhaps the most beautiful paint ever known. It is also the most durable of all artists paints, since wax is impervious to moisture and over time will retain all the freshness of a newly finished work.
R and F Pigment Sticks Art supplies : Oil paint in stick form represents a revolutionary development in oil painting. It means that the paint can be applied directly to a surface without the distancing factor of the brush. This makes it possible to dispense not only with the brush, but with knives, palette, and solvents, thereby making oil sticks more immediate and portable than standard oil painting materials.	UV-RESISTANT Clear Coating KRYLON Art supplies : Protects your valuable projects against harmful UV light rays. Protects against fading, is moisture resistant and smudge-proof. Can be used for photography, watercolor, fabric, pencil, charcoal, and more.	Extra Mild CITRUS THINNER Extra Mild Citrus Thinner is a medium-strength, general purpose thinner and mild solvent that is free of aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons. It is a combination of highly purified mineral oils as used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and natural essential oils. Use for thinning and clean-up of oil-based products, resins, gums, varnishes and waxes. It may also be used as a volatile medium with most conventional oil-based paint products including fine artist oil paints. Not suitable for dissolving hard resins, such as damar or copal.

The Marquis DESK EASEL Set Art supplies : The Marquis easel is really a miniature desk that converts to a painting easel with one simple adjustment - and it folds back up just as easily. Its promise? To accommodate artistic expression in the smallest of spaces, at a moments notice, as soon as inspiration arises. The folding easel adjusts to four positions and accommodates a canvas up to 11" x 14".
