I've got two books - one is all organized with a neat table of contents in the back and that is housed in a hardcover journal I picked up at the book store. The other one (don't laugh) is my French book. I'm in college, so I own the book and can do as I please to it. French is probably my hardest class I'm taking. This book is the French book I'm currently using and also the one I used last semester. I noticed that in that first half of the book I had prayers all scribbled in the margins - I think I wrote them before tests. I apparently was tracking moon phases in the back too and there was some other stuff more related to my path than to French. So now the French book is becoming an impromptu container for my spiritual things. I don't need it next semester, so I'm going to paint the pages white (leaving the prayer in the margins of course) and turn the French book into an artistic version of my other book.
As for what kind of pen I use - just a regular black pen that writes smoothly.
Although I've been getting into papermaking and book binding lately and at some point I would really like to make bind my own handmade book for this purpose and then I'll probably bust out my quill and ink well and use that. But for now it's a journal and a French book.
Love the Idea for the french book (Gesso should do the trick to keep the paper writable and paintable)
Well, If you start making handmade paper and hand binding the books with leather, I shall be one of your first customers!
