Pens I use for Art Journaling!!
Faber-Castell Pitt brush pens
Micron- black #01, #03 and #05
Assorted Permanent Markers
Pilot V Ball Grip-Extra fine
And your everyday standard ol' ballpoint pen
I have heard it is not good to use ball point pens due to their
acidy ink! But then ask me if I follow the rules! LOL
Caran de Ache watersoluable crayons!!
Try scribbling circles or favorite shapes and then
using a contrasting color scribble in the remainder of the page..
Use a baby wipe or slightly damp paint brush
starting with the circles first then go about finishing the contrasting
color (with wipe or damp paint brush)
Oil pastels!!
I use these to outline collage elements and can also be worked into the
page buy rubbing!
Lettering/Text!!
There is a variety of stencils available to you!
How about using a label maker!! They have
many refill colors!!
Acrylic Stamps!!Need I say more! hee hee
Rubber Stamps!!So many styles to choose from!!
Inks too!! :O)
Creating your own text/lettering!!
Ahhh there is that evil ball point pen again! LOL
Do an outline of your letters...then
Then you can give your letters a shadow
using a pitt brush pen or
even a permanent marker!
Then fill in the letters if you choose to do so with
pittbrush pens or Caran de ache crayons (is what I mostly use)
If this post looks a little wonkie...you can blame blogger!! This is the second attempt at
try to post this! arghh! lol
Now! Let's here from you!! What supplies do you use in your art journals etc???
Much love and hugs!!

Thank you for all the lettering tips and pen scoop! I envy those that have funky handwriting like you :) I need to practice my doodleability!!
Great tips Nancy and love the pictures! Thank you...and I too need to practice my doodleability!! =)
Ha! GREAT timing on this post. This is something I've been struggling lately - how to get out of the same ol' script routine.
Great post Nancy!! I use many of the same things as you, EXCEPT the neos as I can't spend the $ right now BOO HOO.
Mostly I just have to overcome my FEAR of exposing my lettering...
Oh yeah I use good ol' Crayolas, they are ok but not nearly as pigmented as those neo's!!
artful hugs,
Gaye
OK, I'm dumb- what are Neo's?
