I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I just got back from Texas visiting with my son and his sweet family. On the long drive back I was thinking about stamping ink for our Bible Journaling. If you were in our very last class before Christmas, we used a large rubber stamp and added color. (See last blog post.) We used StazOn ink to prevent bleed trough. Some Stamped it on the vellum to create an overlay, but it smeared. By the end of the class it has still not dried enough to add color. Anyway, I was looking for solutions on line and found this great article on supplies.

I thought you might want to take a look. I agree with most of what she says except for:
I don't like Crayola twistables - too waxy and nothing compares to Prismacolor Premier Pencils.
I don't like Gelatos - maybe I have not been given proper instructions for using them.
I am going to experiment with the homemade clear gesso to which she provides a link.
I am starting to plan some lessons for later in January when we return to class. I am working on a winter scene with a red cardinal, red berries, and snow.
I hope some of you are working on creations of your own.
See you soon.
