Chipboard shapes anchor mixed media compositions with substantial presence that paper elements can't match. These pre-primed pieces accept paint immediately, no sealing or prep work needed before you start layering acrylics, sprays, or inks. The priming creates tooth that grips pigment while remaining smooth enough for detailed work, whether you're stenciling patterns, adding collage elements, or building up texture with modeling paste.

Thickness matters here; these shapes provide dimensional relief that lifts focal points off the page surface. Stack multiples for even more depth, or attach them with foam adhesive to create shadow effects. Each set contains five identical shapes, giving you enough pieces to repeat motifs across spreads or experiment with different finishing techniques on the same form.

Dina Wakley designed these specifically for art journal and mixed media workflows where you're working wet, layering repeatedly, and potentially handling pieces before everything fully dries. The chipboard maintains its structure through that process without warping or delaminating. Available in various shape sets, each containing five pieces ready for whatever surface treatment your composition demands.
