Artist Eileen Grobeck, aka Cookala, shares her fav products with DIY City mag.
DIY City: Do you have any favorite products you use when creating your art?
Cookala: Xyron Cheetah 2 adhesive runner - it makes adhering the background papers I use to the atc cards a snap and isn’t messy like glue, and the glued object is repositionable/removable if you don’t press down too hard. Tim Holtz Adirondack and Alcohol Inks and Pads. Sakura gel pens, Le Plume II markers, Lumiere and Duncan acrylics, Versa Magic chalk ink refills. ATC blanks. Gesso. Gel medium.
DIY City: What are your favorite items to use in your art?
Cookala: Vintage collage sheets, all kinds of ephemera, vellum, acrylic paints, twinkling H2Os, chalks, ribbons, “found” objects, ink pads of every color you can think of, gel pens, gold paint pens, and stamps. I love scrapbook papers - I can never seem to get enough. I cut them down to ATC size and use them as backgrounds. I also make 12×12 sheets of my own background papers using acrylics, inks and stamps, then cut them down to ATC size.
