Recently, Sakura of America hired me to do an art journaling video for them. They wanted to show off their Moonlight pens, which positively GLOW on dark paper. Check out the video (and you can subscribe to Sakura's YouTube channel for lots of fun videos featuring their products):

Here's the spread from the video:



I also used the Moonlight pens (and a few Souffle and Stardust pens) on this page:







And here is an "investigation" style page I did recently. I took every medium I thought might work on black and tried it out in my journal:



Some of the results were quite surprising and I love having this reference point for myself for later projects! Of course, after seeing Dion's post last week I'm slapping my forehead for not even trying my water soluble crayons! Silly girl! Guess I'm going to need some more boxes!

What do you think? Do you ever start with a black page in your journal?

Thanks for stopping by!
