    I'we had the kuretake watercolor on my amazon wishlist for ever, i might just go for it now just for the first 5 colors! :) thank you so much for the shoutout , the sweet words ...i appreciate it so much, its the ultimate joy to see my creations decorate yer pages <3 i 'we been the same way with stickers in the past as well, but then i realized they become what they were created for only the moment they get to decorate a page, a journal cover...or wherever they get to be glued on. I haven't seen fallout yet, started a series on Netflix just 2 days ago called"baby reindeer" its quite different, check it out, would love to hear yer thoughts. love yer spread as always! ty for sharing yer creativity with us <3 hugzzzz xo🥰

    Everything turned out so gorgeous! I loved the additional info you provided about the watercolors! I hear people talk about Julia K so much, but never knew what’s sets hers apart! What pens work the best over the watercolor???

  • @heartmusingswithcrystal2042
    @heartmusingswithcrystal2042 Жыл бұрын

    Thank youuu 🥰 In all honesty, gel pens and rollerballs work well over watercolor. I've tried fountain pens but a lot of fountain pen ink tends to bleed and feather when you try and write over watercolor. I know some people have had some success with Noodlers Lexington Grey (fountain pen ink) but I don't like running the risk of clogging up the nib of my pens. Some watercolors leave grit or glitter that can get in your fountain pen nibs and I'm not experienced enough to deal with all that lol.
