I usually use 8&#215;8 or 10&#215;10 pages&#8230;I buy the journals in the scrapbooking sections of craft stores (M&#8217;s, J&#8217;s). I rarely write directly on a page with a Sharpie&#8230;usually I gesso &amp; paint first (acrylics). Often I add layers of tissue or other papers with gel medium. Then I write with a Sharpie or any other pen that I can find on my desk. If a pen bleeds through, it just means you have to add more layers to the next page. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve done nothing today but scrapbook and almost-art-ing activities.
