I love GIVEAWAY time. I have talked to many artists lately and one of the most common questions that comes up regarding supplies used is, "What white pens work the best on mixed-media collage? Any ideas anyone?" Soooooo, I am giving a pile (a pile translates to more than 10) of different white pens as the GIVEAWAY for February. Leave me a comment as to whether you use white pens in your work, or wish to, or name the ones you can't create without. The winner (sometimes I surprise and choose more than one winner) will be chosen by a number drawing and announced on Thursday, February 29th. I look forward to reading your comments. Best of luck.
Namaste,
Darlene
Hiya Freenie - I love white pens to highlight text in my journals but do have trouble finding one that works well. At the moment I'm using an Inkessentials one and so far so good
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance of winning your prize x Hilda
Hilda, I haven't tried Inkessentials one yet. I'll have to look for it. Thanks for visiting my Blog. Hope to see you again.
DeleteHi Freenie
ReplyDeleteI hardly dare enter again, but also interested in which are better. I invested in a pental, cant say I am doing so well with it though, also use in journal and might use it on other things if I can get to grips with it better. At the moment it has a great use for highlighting eyes.
Lynda
Yes, Lynda, you certainly can enter again. Happy you stopped by.
DeleteI love white pens! I like to work with dark backgrounds and have had trouble with finding the right pen. Currently i am using opaque calligraphy ink. It seems like every time i go looking for white pens they are sold oit!
ReplyDeleteAnna, Well then I'm glad you've stopped by for a chance at some white pens. I also use white India ink.
DeleteI love my white pen, I have looked everywhere and can't find another one. It is a uni-ball Signo.
ReplyDeleteHI Ann, Yep, I think uni-ball signo is at the top of my list, too. Always good to see you here and there.
DeleteSigno Uniball is the BEST white pen I have ever used!
ReplyDeleteI agree! HI JAnet...haven't I seen you somewhere else before? HA. ha.
DeleteI love white pens, but seems that nothing works well over many mediums. I have a collection of them (inkssentials, sharpie poster paint, eddings, sakura pen-touch) - I've used even correction fluid when desperate! But I end-up using white acrylic most of the times.
ReplyDeleteHi Myrto,
DeleteI love to use a tip pen with Golden Fluid acrylic, too. Try (or win) Uniball-Signo, or white China Marker, or Sharpie Mean Streak Marker. I find the dollar Jelly Roll Pens work great on acrylic, but if I've used oil pastel in areas it won't mark.
Thanks for entering the GIVEAWAY.
NOte: Jeanne told me she couldn't get her comment to post, so I am putting her in. Sorry Jeanne...not sure what went wrong...but you're in hte drawing.
DeleteMy 2 favorites are the UniBall Signo 153, and the white Sakura gelly roll. I do use Sharpies, but they aren't my faves.
ReplyDeleteTrece,
DeleteSharpies aren't my favorite either...they don't slide across the piece like others do, if you know what I mean.
Hi Darlene, I'm throwing my hat in your drawing. Great blog you have, perhaps I will follow to keep track of all your wonderful talent:) Marilou
ReplyDeleteHi Darlene - thanks for entering me after I couldn't get in. Turns out it was Google that was playing tricks on me, not your site. :) Seems to be working now.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, my comments about white pens are that we talk about them so much because they're important to our finished art work to give that "pop"...but if they're cold, or dry, or won't go over certain mediums, it still leaves us on the search for the one that won't let us down! :)
Must say here that I just LOVE all your little drawings. they make me smile. :)
Thanks Jeane, I'm having a good time with the drawings.
DeleteHi Darlene love giveaways and love your blog so if it was not for the giveaway i would not have found it lol white pens well dont get me started hehe they are a love hate relationship , i hate the ones that look good at first then sink into the painting ...
ReplyDeletehugz bev

ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth,
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
I haven't used my Signo white pens but I sure want to give them a try. Winning a supply of various white pens would sure be fun. Thanks for the blog giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMarrianna
Suzanne and Marrianna,
DeleteOh yes, give those pens a try. I hear people commenting about these particular pens the most. I have a daughter named Suzanne. Lovely name, huh? And we made sure no one nicknamed her Suzie. Happy you visited.
I never seem to be able to find the "right" white pens for me, so this would be a great chance to try something else. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThen I'm glad you entered a chance to win a pile of 'em. And if you don't win I will post the photos and names of pens for a resource.
DeleteHi Darlene ... By chance saw your blog on the journal page... How very nice to see your creative work...I love that you've got it out there ... I use white pencils and paint all the time while experimenting since I often draw or paint and use pastels on black backgrounds..I love the dramatic effects... so white pens would also be a great journey for me( Ha Ha)... definitely something I need to look into ..Thanks for sharing... Hugs
ReplyDeleteHI Zaa, Glad you happened to find this GIVEAWAY.
DeleteHi JoAnn,
ReplyDeleteGot your message that you are having trouble jumping in here to enter for the GIVEAWAY. So, I've listed your name for the drawing. Thanks for letting me know.
Hi Darlene. Lovely blog and love your art work! Very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love the uniball signo and sukura. Both work great and you can trust the lines. Some of the others are kind of hit and miss.
