Last day of January

The planning and refocusing continues for my objectives for 2010. I am currently seeking out new materials in which to create my art objects. I made a stop by Texas Art to pick up some 16"x20" Ampersand brand art panels only to find that they had gone up in price to nearly $40.00! Ampersand has finally priced themselves out of my business. I simply do not understand companies that make supplies for artists pricing their products so high that it becomes cost prohibitive for their target customers.
