Dear Joseishijin,
Hi, well I know CelMart has some different colored
celbooks/art portfolios for sale:
http://www.celmart.com/cel/celbook.html
The covers are made of a SOFTER plastic than the
Itoya ones, but they come in more colors than the
Itoya ones. If you ask Takashi, he might also be
able to get you some with flowers, checkered, or
textured patterened ones as well. Like I said,
the plastic for these are softer or thinner than
the Itoya ones, but they come in a larger variety
of patterns =D. However, they also have LESS
pages in them than the Itoya ones (10 pockets
total I think).
If I remember correctly, if you have a Japanese
stationery store nearby, they might also carry the
multi colored art portfolios too EXCEPT these are
as thick or thicker (in pockets) than the Itoya
ones with somewhat comparable covers to the Itoya
ones except in multi colors O_O! I remember that
they were VERY pretty 8), but twice the price as
the Itoya ones ($20.00 compared to $10.00).
Or you could always go the 'cheap' route and just
decorate an Itoya folder with cute stickers on the
cover ^-^. I hope this helps!
Sincerely,
Sonia |
