Hi Sylvia and thanks for your kind words, I am glad my sharing inspiring your own creative journey.

As for white ink for art journaling, my favourite at the moment is from a french brand called " Sennelier" ..it is not really an ink ink...as it where but an acrylic ink so has quite good opacity cover.

It is quite a thick ink so a large reservoir nib works quite well ... however as with most white inks the nibs do clog up frequently so wiping the nib regularly and often to clean off any dried up residue helps me maintain a good flow ... I use an old rag whilst working to continuously rub of excess and dried up white ink as I am working

Another brand of acrylic ink I use is Windsor and Newton ... their ink is slightly thinner and works well with finer nibs too

Hope this helps
...milliande :-)

I have been testing white inks and pens for journaling.....thanks to Milliande i tried Senelier and find it to be the best so far. The gel type white pens don't work well at all. It is so fun to work with white over dark backgrounds! Have fun! Thanks Milliande! :)

Artist Statement

I am intriqued by the notion of universal consciousness and choose to peek closely at the small particles that make up existence.

Human and living form cell biology, the interplay of microcosm and macrocosm, quantumphysics and the spiritual connection to the Self all nurture me with an endless stream of inspiration.

The female form and its nature of being, the beauty of motherhood, viewing the world in fragments rather than wholes and the palpable energy exchange and communication between them are central themes in my artwork.

I enjoy making the invisible visible and creating openended visual artworks that invite the viewer to explore deeper within their own layers of perception.

Contemporary Mixed media art techniques provide a rich playground for my artistic impulses and allow room for an individual approach to the multilayered facets of my artwork.
