A dateless journal page...

I hate when I forget to put a date on a journal page.

Below is my first video! I've made five videos so far for my new, A Life Made By Hand class. This is just a test video of my pen case I've been toting around. My friend, Irene, was showing me her bags that she carries. She uses Eagle Creek's Pack It Cubes. So, I hit the Container store and bought a small one for my pens and a big shoe size one for all of my collage crap (not all but the special stuff I toted around). Please be gentle! It's my first video!!
(Huge thanks to David and Tristan for all of their help. Tristan shot the video!)

The video was very informative - looking forward to more!
You were talking about the white Souffle pen? That writes in matte. I have a set of these pens in 10 pastel colors including B & W - they must come in other colors too. They dry matte and slightly raised. I love them!

The video is great, Everyone. It looks like it was done in a filming studio, not by a 7th grader. I watched in on Facebook. Amazing.
Great job to you both on the video! Tristan kept a real steady handy... no awkwards shakes!! It was fun to watch... thank you!

Happy Holidays,

Great video Kelly, appreciated the pen tips and the container savvy. One thing you mentioned abut the glaze gelly roll pens only coming in a couple of colours, I have a whole set of the glaze in a variety of colours got them on JetPens. Maybe I misunderstood your comment but thought I'd share the info anyway.

I love this page, as I do all of your pages! How do you do the henna and stuff like that on your hands in your journals? Is that freehand or stamps, stencils? Is this something you are going to teach us in the class? :-D

Kelly - great video and great camera work by Tristan. Everything was very clear. Would have been nice at the end to have him zoom out so we could see your sweet smiling face. Libby

Lindart and Bren-

I have a whole post on pens here.

http://kellykilmer.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-pen-list.html

Souffle are matte. Glaze are gloss. There really is no difference in the look of the gloss and matte WHITE pen. When both pens write and dry, they look identical to me.

What I meant and what I've said before is that I wish they came in MORE colors. There are about 16 colors in glaze and 10 in souffle. When Sakura makes a zillion pens, why can't they come out with more colors in the glaze and souffle?

Similar pens, but in a smaller size and smaller tips are the lattes and sweet pens-similar kind of ink. Again, I wish they came in more colors.

A few years ago I went to the Sakura booth and asked when they would come out with more colors of glaze and souffle pens and they said "You mean our 24 or so colors aren't enough?" I wanted to say "Obviously you have no clue about pen freaks."

Great video Kelly, Thank you. You have given lots of information on the pens you use, but seeing it while you tell about it makes a huge difference!

Kudos to you and Tristan! You both did an awesome job. I know I've read posts by you on this topic, but it was so neat to actually see you hold the pens that you were talking about!

Great page, video and I love that case too. Good job Tristan.

Thanks for the informative video, I found the content and the filming great, but the lighting could have been a little better. It seemed that you were casting a shadow over what you were showing us so it made it somewhat hard to see. Hope this helps for future videos:)
