Continuing on with the journal...

I bought some suede pens a long time ago, used them a bit and didn't like them... but brought them with me to class. Decided to try using them with my Pan Pastels on cardstock and it worked... Did have to spray it when I got home though. I double dipped my pen.

Then I thought I'd try with a small flat edged brush, but that just gave me a fat letter - ugly... so put my brush in some water - it does try to repel water but picks up enough to mix with, which I did in the lid and started writing with the moistened pastels - worked and they became stable - didn't have to spray them.

I absolutely love the bounce and freedom of these letters. Adding the little doodad in the middle of those letters gave it a Gothic feel.

I used the Dr Martins Tech ink (Scarlet, April Green, Turquoise) sprinkled with the silver powder. The large letters with a 6.0 Parallel pen and the smaller word with the 2.4 parallel pen on our Guild's Calligraphy paper.

These are the lettering style I took the class to learn...

Love these as well using a 6.0 Parallel pen and the above Dr martins inks done on Genoa Bond calligraphy paper.

 We were asked to do something funky to a single letter, so I just started drawing circles with a lid that was on my desk around my letter using a black gel pen . Colored in the spaces with Inktense watercolors and a brush.

As you can gather, I like the word "Spring", second time I'm using it...

Love this style of lettering too, funky.

Done with a flat edge brush and watercolors, double dipping the brush.

This was the prototype for a card I made using the quote (you can see the card HERE). Used Dr Martins Tech ink in Indigo & Turquoise. The upper words had Gold Schminke powder and the lower word had Neuberg E Ebel Fine Silver powder and used a 2.4 Parallel pen on Genoa Bond paper then layered onto the blue Canson paper.
