Give away - adding some sparkle

What is life with out some sparkle? I am adding some glitter and some sparkling stars. I use glitter moste to higlight detail, it can be letters, or just a spark in the eye.

The glitter comes in red, blue, green, silver and gold. The stars in silver and gold.

When ever you think that life is a little dull, add some glitter.

The most basic tools to use when doing a journal is pencils ant with them a sharpener and an eraser comes along.

The sharpener is a Derwent pencil sharpener. The eraser is the most wonderful I have ever encountered. It is a CretacoloR monolith -line. It erase almost every line and it has a wonderful smooth surface.

Give away - adding watercolours

I am adding Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolours

The colours are Cadmium red deep hue, Cadmium yellow pale hue, Prussian blue, Chinese white, Ivory black This is one of my favourite colour pallet. I use watercolour alot mostly because they are easy to travel with and you can manipulate the colours a bit after it has dried. You can do a lot of layers on top of them.
