Mostly book talk. Jodi asked in a comment what I use to write in white. I have two pens, the one I used on this page is an Uni-ball Signo gel pen. It's a wonderful pen. I love the liquid quality that it has. The other white one is a Galaxy Marker in milky way white. I just read that there are other colors of this one. I hope I can find some. The one I have says it is a broad point. The Galaxy is less opaque than the Signo. Both will write great over acrylic paint and also magazine images. I used some oil pastels on this page too. I really want to try the Caran D'ache Neocolor II Watersoluble Crayons. I like the effect of the pastels, but they won't work on some surfaces and they rub off. I'm hoping that won't happen with the watersoluable crayons.

I love your new pages!

I've got a bunch of Galaxy gel pens. They work very well.

As for Neocolors II, I think you'll really like them. They blend nicely. If you use them as a watercolory wash, you can write over them with just about everything. If you apply them thickly and use baby wipes to blend them, they develop a nice, hard (un-smeary!) surface that you can write on with most markers (I use Pitt pens, but Sharpies should work just as well).

I like your pages.

For marking over things, I just bought some of the new Sharpie Opaque Poster Paint markers, and they're a lot of fun. They also come in gold and silver.
