'My new BEST PEN for Art Journals - Review!'

by Mary Lou 'LuLu' Haynes

Howdy and Welcome,

This week,  two gel pens kept skipping that I used in my mixed-media art journals  (Pentel WOW! black gel, Uniball Signo black gel).

I didn't have a Sharpie nearby - so I tried a ballpoint pen that was handy - PaperMate Eagle medium point.

This Eagle worked great on mixed-media! Writes over acrylic paint, acrylic glazes, gesso - no skipping! I was pleasantly surprised...

Have you tried ballpoint pens in your art journals or mixed-media artwork? What's your fave ballpoint pen?

Thanks for stopping by. Would love for you to comment on this post - or any of my other posts. And while you're here, please become a Follower!

Also, please stop by often - a new GIVEAWAY is coming this Spring!

Peace,
LuLu

Howdy and Welcome,

Thanks to all of you who have found my blog!

I've been getting positive, encouraging comments on my art blog posts. I've won some contests!

So I'm wondering if I could join someone's Dream Team. I'm putting my wish out there. It would be fabulous to work full time on art! Ultimately, my art would be published in mags like Somerset Studio, Artful Blogging, CPS, travelling worldwide to teach workshops and retreats (in France and Italy) and to  host DVD's for Interweave using my own mixed-media techniques!

Wouldn't that be super-calli - fragi?!

Poll closes Sep 26 2010 at midnight. Please vote. All are welcome to vote - you do not need to be a follower to vote. And if someone wants ME to come on board right now, yippee! and please contact me pronto!

This image 'No Fear' is entered in the Theme Thursday challenge, WORDS, too! What great timing.
(Note: This is a found saying, not my own.  I read voraciously. Don't recall where I saw it.)
