Hi Milliande!
I am so inspired by your artwork!I especially liked the "playing with masking tape" episode.Could you please tell me what kind of pen you used to make the very thin white lines? I have never seen one that thin before.I tried to find it on the supplies page,but I don't know what it is called.
Thank you!---Diana---

Hi Diana,

~ glad you enjoy my art journaling prompts..it has been a whirlwind january so far playing in between the pages of my art journal

~ I have recently done a bit of an experiment with different white writing pens and some gel pens wok better than others, some white drawing pens work wetc

~ The one I use most consistently at the moment is called ~Uniball Signo White for the white art journaling writing if you are looking for a gel pen type pen ... it gives a good consistent flow on top of acrylic paints and gel mediums etc ... but struggles a bit when writing straight on top of watercolor crayons as the waxy texture is a bit too tough to handle ..I work around it by adding a quick coat of matte gel medium on top that seals it in without affecting the color and then it works fine

~ My favourite method is also to use a dip pen with white acrylic ink by Daler Rowney ..the randomness of the lettering and inksplotches make me happy :-)

hope this helps
