I use any kind of craft paper/cover stock for the signature covers, and I reuse them over and over, because I take them off when I bind the signatures together. Those covers are used only to protect the inner pages while I'm carrying them around.MiataGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727208043312788510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-47066308055144559482017-02-11T13:20:41.024-08:002017-02-11T13:20:41.024-08:00I've been meaning to ask...what kind of paper ...I've been meaning to ask...what kind of paper are you using on the outside of your Canson XL signatures these days? Do you remove the signature covers before you bind them into books? If not, do you draw on the covers?<br /><br />Inquiring minds want to know!

I'm looking for something to keep my pens in. I'm tired of digging thru all the pens in a pencil holder and still not finding what I'm looking for. But I need to be able to see the pouch. Looking at it on line just doesn't do it.Joan Tavolotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290923567339587417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-1878216327066158452016-12-23T17:20:15.543-08:002016-12-23T17:20:15.543-08:00I agree that the Signo works a little better over ...I agree that the Signo works a little better over watercolor. I used to use a Molotow acrylic marker, but that thing really clogs up -- and the cap is so hard to pull off! I have an oil marker too, but the smell knocks me out! Seems like this is still a need that some manufacturer should fill -- the perfect opaque white pen.MiataGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727208043312788510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-18130914443346629472016-12-23T17:15:12.199-08:002016-12-23T17:15:12.199-08:00Always interesting to read this, even though I ske...Always interesting to read this, even though I sketch nearly right beside you! :)<br /><br />Larry... I use the Signo over watercolor. The page must be completely dry and even then I'm not entirely satisfied with the appearance. Brenda Swenson suggests using the Sharpie watercolor white marker... the oil markers are easier to find and I had to get the watercolor one on Amazon. I'm about to try white acrylic ink with a dip pen... but that would only be added when I'm home, not on location.

I wonder if the Gelly Roll depends on what's being drawn on. I've never been able to get it to work well over watercolors (it's water-soluble, so it just smears up the paint), but it works great directly on the Field Notes paper.<br /><br />Happy holidays to you, too!MiataGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727208043312788510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-51118350622910338132016-12-23T14:08:22.842-08:002016-12-23T14:08:22.842-08:00I'd sure like to figure out how some people (y...I'd sure like to figure out how some people (you) manage to get GellyRoll pens to work. I buy them and half the time they don't work well right out of the package, but even if they do they become intermittent very quickly. It's a mystery to me. <br /><br />Also wish I could get one of those KUM sharpeners but the crafts/art store here doesn't stock KUM and Amazon.ca thinks I should pay $43 for one of them :-) I do have the KUM long-point, which works well but it's more fussy in use.
