I spied one of my color brush pens in my stash... and then went searching for the rest of them...

Since I was in a quandary of what to use/do for this week's challenge I went with creating a sampler. I notice I had put a sticker on one of them from 2015, and that was for the refill. Yup - I've had these pens for a loooong time and they still work. WOW.

On Canson Mixed Media paper wrote out some words (Madagascar - Fontstruct.com) and a bsic monoline for the rest using a Juice Up pen. 

Painted the interiors with a very diluted mix of Jacques Herbin inks (Emeraude de Chivor and Cornaline d'Egypte) both have some metallic mixture in them... more so the Cornaline and very little in the Emeraude - sigh. Not very happy with these inks. The metallic did not show up at all.

words: Good girls are made of sugar and spice cowgirls are made of whiskey on ice.
