Perpetual journals allow you to watch nature in a creative and powerful way over the seasons. Perpetual journaling can be combined with other types of nature journaling or done on its own but either way it requires some planning and discipline to make it work. Maybe that's why I have not tried it in my nature journal yet.
Luckily, Pam is here to share her experience with her perpetual journal and some tips for people who want to start one. She also talks about her other art practices and her teaching. Don't miss the lightning round!

* Posca white marker: amzn.to/3Ut5tCh
This is a great tool for correction of ink mistakes but it is also what Pam uses for creative flourishes, titles, and signatures on the black cover of her journal.
* Sailor Fude Demanen : amzn.to/49mAaNK
Pam spoke eloquently about the first time she tried this wonderful calligraphy pen! She said she could feel her creativity flowing straight from her heart through the tip of the pen!
* Platinum carbon fountain desk pen: amzn.to/3HQgfes
In addition to the Fude Demanen, Pam also uses a modified Platinum Carbon fountain pen. It's a sawed-off modification!
* For both pens she uses the Platinum Carbon Ink: amzn.to/49xA6eA
* For colored pencils Pam recommends getting no more than 12 colors but the most expensive brand you can afford. Below are two brands she uses.
* Faber Castel Polychromos 12 set: amzn.to/3usziID
* Watercolor pencils: Derwent, 12 set: amzn.to/3Us1mqh
