    i paint cash register receipts, pages from appliances installation manuals and such with acrylic paints so that some of the original text still shows and then stamp like mad on top with my home-made stamps. i use those papers in my collages and love them. absolutely agree with you that it is much much more satisfying to create something nice from almost scratch than to create with expensive tools and supplies. I make journal covers with pieces of my old clothes. etc. and i totally can buy new stuff, i am just not excited about creations made with them (that diminishes a bit the point of crafting, in my opinion).

      The small one I got was very reasonable but I imagine the bigger ones are more of an investment. Another reason I wanted to start small. You can use styrofoam sheets for a similar surface effect with the paint. I saw that on the Book and Paper Arts channel.
