Something different

I was at the art supply store and saw this black paper so I bought it along with several white pens and pencils (which I never thought would be THAT difficult).  You would have thought that anything white would work perfectly on black, well not so much.  The chalk pen didn't show up, the paint sharpie pen just ran and bled.  The white and grey pencils were great for shading but I'm still looking for the perfect pen.  I hope you like the change in paper.  It's 8 degrees BELOW zero here today (and a wind chill of 32 below).  It's bad when the news is telling you what to do if you get frost bite, so wherever you are, STAY WARM!!!!
