	There's a place across the street from Pearl Art Supply on Chicago
Ave. near Wells that sells specialty papers, but I can't remember the
name of it. There's also a couple of places around the
Clark/Broadway/Diversey intersection, iirc.

The original message hasn't made it to milw.general that I could see, so I'm
latching on to the response.

There's a small corner stationery/stamping store on Kinnickinnnic near St.
Francis, just a couple blocks south of Oklahoma, and I believe they carry and
order a variety of that stuff.  You might also want to check with the Palette
Shop on East Capitol near Bakers Square.

I used to get some in chinatown too but I don't know the name of the shop or
if it is still there.  It was mostly origami paper but some handmade as
well.  Now I just make that type of paper myself (it is more fun to make
your own in my opinion).  I use a kit from www.hearthsong.com, but you could
make your own deckle and mold, and there are tons of websites devoted to
papermaking.
