Book of Days 9

I recently received a set of Sakura Gelly Roll Moonlight pens from Jetpens.com.  I have used other Gelly Roll pens in the past and have always been pleased with their performance, but the one place that they failed (with the exception of the white) is on black paper.  Well, here is the solution, these pens are amazing, beautiful vibrant color and they perform just as well on white paper, too.

30 Days of Drawing #11

This is really more of a test of the Sakura Gelly Roll pens that I wrote about yesterday.  I wanted to see how the colors with gold and silver worked on black paper.  As you can see, they didn't.

On black paper the colors are overwhelmed by the underlying gold or silver, but that's okay because they work very well on white. Like all of the Gelly Roll glittery pens, you really cannot appreciate these in a picture, they are much more sumptuous in person.

Yesterday, Sandra, over at Life Imitates Doodles, shared a link to a site which explained how to make Japanese Paper Flowers so I thought that I would give it a try.

Not sure what I'll do with it yet, but there it is.
