#fountain pen case

[eggbunni]

Look what I made, a fountain pen case for my pocket pens! I’m so proud of myself! 🥹

I had been looking for a pen case for my Kaweco Sport pens. Kaweco Sports are so short that they completely swim in all of my other cases, making them difficult to grab when I need one. After looking online at the different cases available, I couldn’t justify spending $45 to $60 on a factory made case just for my little pocket pens, especially since I’m committed to a No Buy for 2024.

I asked hubby to help me get all of my sewing equipment and fabric scraps out of storage, then set to work!

I completely winged it. No tutorial. Mostly because pen pouch tutorials didn’t seem to exist anywhere I searched for them. 😅 But that made it even more fun to figure out all by myself, and the satisfaction of completing my first case is invaluable! I feel so accomplished! AND I love my new little pen pouch. :)

It’s not perfect, but I’m sure my next one will be even better!

I’m looking forward to more DIY goodies in 2024 as I cure my shopping habit. 💪

Sketchbook Supply Recs!

Hi y’all, Since I’ve been posting more sketchbook pages recently, I thought I would share some of my favorite supplies. My recommendations are tailored to creating a user-friendly, portable kit mainly focused on ink and markers. I’ve found that having a kit like this makes me more likely to regularly develop my sketchbook, which I view as one of the most important parts of keeping one. None of these recommendations are sponsored or affiliated, I just hope that by sharing what supplies I enjoy, others can find new things to try. Keep reading under the cut!

I often find that products marketed towards the stationary and note-taking/organization niches perform better at lower prices for frequent sketchbook use than products targeted specifically towards the art and illustration community. Don’t shy away from products in office-supply stores just because it doesn’t say ‘for art’ on it. 

I also recommend refillable pens whenever possible. They usually offer more customization in ink color and nib size. Refillable options produce less plastic waste than disposable options. Refillable designs tend to have more ergonomic designs, with larger barrels and better weight balance that minimize hand discomfort. If you draw frequently, this is something worth considering to avoid damaging your hand joints in the long term. In addition, they’re built with durability in mind, allowing them to be thrown in your bag or pencil case without worry. 

Darker ink drawing pens make up the core of my kit, so I’ve tried a variety of options and usually have at least a few of these in my bag. Currently, the Pilot Kakuno Pocket Fountain Pen (around $10-19 depending where you purchase from) is my favorite. I love the line quality this pen can produce– the barrel is a bit larger than most pens and the body and cap give it a good balance in the hand. This pen also takes cartridge refills, allowing you to easily switch colors between refills without the mess. There are a wide range of colors available for this pen, and the thinner water-based ink formula is easy to work with. The ink dries down matte, so it scans accurately without digital manipulation. It also comes in a few different nib sizes with different cosmetic options/color ways for the pen body. Though fountain pens typically have a slight learning curve in learning how to draw with them, I found this one especially easy to work with since the nib has an etched design that shows when you’re holding it properly. 

The Pilot EnerGel Alloy Body Ballpoint Pen (around $8-10) is another of my favorites. The metal body of the pen is a slightly larger barrel size with a nice weight balance which allows smooth lines without hand discomfort. They’re also refilled with cartridges, which come in a few different colors and point sizes; I enjoy the 1.0 mm the most for this pen. The water-based gel ink formula for this pen is one of the best I’ve tried, as it’s very smooth, dries fast which minimizes smudging, and scans well. The V5/V7 Ballpoint Pen from Pilot (available in multi-packs for around $1-2 per pen) has a similar ink formula in varied nib sizes. They aren’t refillable, but they last a long time. I think they’re worthwhile, especially as a beginner friendly, widely available option.

Muji Pens (available online for about $2 per pen) are another great ballpoint gel option. They come in an impressive range of colors, thicknesses, and cap types. They can also be refilled with cartridges. I think the finer 0.38 and 0.5 nib sizes are my favorites from this line. 

If you prefer a brush-tip style pen to ballpoint or fountain pens, I really enjoy the Tombow Fudenosuke or Pentel Pocket Brush. The Fudenosuke (around $3-4) is a felt-tip brush pen. The nib is a perfect firmness to get a variety of line weights with ease. I find that this makes it well-suited to thumbnails and other fast sketching. They come in a smaller range of well-formulated, pigmented colors, which consistently scan well. They aren’t refillable, but last a long time, which I think makes them worth it. 

The Pentel Pocket Brush (around $7 with two refills included) is a bristle brush pen. The fibers are very smooth and can achieve a wide variety of textures and line weights. It has a bit more of a learning curve than some of my other recommendations, but that’s mostly if you haven’t inked with a brush previously– it’s relatively easy to get comfortable with. It’s also refillable with cartridges and has a few different color options. This pen is one of my favorites for figure drawing. 

Though it’s not a pen, I also think the Rotring Mechanical Drafting Pencil (around $20-30) deserves a mention for folks who prefer sketching in pencil. The metal body and textured grip create a good weight balance that makes it write exceptionally smooth. It also takes standard graphite and other colorful options which give an equivalent level of customization to the previously described pens. 

Markers and colorful supplies are another important element of your kit. At the top of the list for me is a couple of different highlighters and felt tip pens. I love Zebra Mildliners, especially the double-ended ones with the super fine/brush tip combo (usually less than $1/pen when purchased in packs of 5 or more). They’re easy to draw with and can be a great choice for adding value or colors. The color range (mostly pastel and creamy colors) is also impressive. Stabilo makes a similar style of pen called the pointMax (M 0.8) (usually about $2 a pen, but also comes in packs) that comes in some darker, more vibrant colors. I prefer the thicker size since they tend to last longer, but they make some thinner liner versions of this pen (called point88) with the same ink formula that are also good. If you like a thicker marker, Chunky highlighters are the way to go. Stabilo Boss (about $1.50 in a multi-pack) and Staedtler Textsurfer (about $1.70) are great options that come in a variety of colors, with Stabilo coming in creamy pastels and Staedtler coming in more bright and neon colors.  

Within this category, novelty supplies can also be a good colorful addition. Mixed color pencils can be really fun for line drawing. Koh-i-Noor makes some of my favorites (about $4 but they last a long time) with earth tones, primaries, and neons. Gelly Roll pens (about $1.50 /pen) also are a nice novelty pen while still being high quality. They have a good color range with metallic, neon, glitter, and other finishes. 

On top of drawing supplies, some washi tape, stickers, double-stick tape, and cool paper also make fun additions. It’s harder to make specific recommendations for specific washi tape and stickers, however, supporting your local stationery/craft/paper good stores and favorite artists and designers who make and sell it is always a good move! I have some from Natalie Andrewson, Alex Tomlinson of Pigeon Post, and Starmint Art that I use all the time. The best ones complement the imagery and colors you use. Be curious, collect, and repurpose things that make you excited!

Hopefully these recommendations help you find something new and exciting. Let me know if there are other topics you’d be interested in! Thanks for reading :^)

my esterbrook estie in tortoise arrived today !!! i inked her up with dominant industry lungo no. 116

#she's my first ever fountain pen that's on the pricier side and i honestly can't believe she's physically in my house #i was torn between her and the petrified forest model but i think the tortoise suits me very well #she came with a free leather case so she'll be nicely protected <3 #the size of her no. 6 jowo nib versus my lil kaweco sport's is comical #i'm still getting used to how far up from the page she is in comparison #bea's thoughts

I made myself a roll-up case for (some of) my fountain pens!

pattern is by natalie jane prior

many thanks to @icedbatik, whose suggestion to use a layer of muslin instead of quilt batting indicated by the pattern worked far better (first attempt was way too poofy)

if I make another, I'm likely to change up some things about the pattern, but it was fun to try

((Show off your top/favorite pens!))

ohhh jeez i won't take my own pics cause it's overcast where i live rn and the light is SHIT but top 3 in my collection: #1 benu shooting star

i got this pen right around when i was playing through endwalker so in my mind it's the ffxiv/meteion pen. it always makes me feel hopeful. it glows in the dark and ostensibly has actual meteorite dust in the resin although idk how anyone would verify that. i like to fill it with equally sparkly blue ink and write with it when im feeling low, i love it.

#2 esterbrook cosmic wine

this is the fanciest most ostentatious and useless thing i own. it's also too big and heavy to actually use much, so sometimes i just take it out and rotate it slowly under a light to watch it sparkle. and boy howdy does it sparkle...really pretty pen...and i think in a zombie apocalypse situation it's big and sharp enough i could fashion it into an opulent shiv and use it to defend myself; so i consider it an investment in my future.

#3 twsbi eco black

there's nothing special or unique at all about this pen, twsbi ecos are like THE starter pen, everyone has one in some color. they work fine and hold a lot of ink, so they're popular with artists. i use mine literally all the time for everything it's my workhorse pen. i can fill a sketchbook page then swap to journaling then take a bunch of work notes all with the same pen. so even though it's nothing special, it's special to me. if this pen ever breaks i am fucked.

#fountain pens #thank you for asking about this and also im sorry for oversharing #so embarrassing #i have been at this for like 5 or 6 years now and have accumulated like 100 different kinds of ink and almost as many pens #i made a pact with myself that when i buy my 100th pen i will bundle them all up in a fine leather case and sink them in a lake

doing assignments by candlelight surprisingly comfy

#thought it wouldn't be good enough light but it works find actually. and keeps me from not noticing it getting late #got my fountain pen working again which i'm very happy about and now i'm scribbling international law case analysis out by hand #just so i can talk shit about the cases with a pal tomorrow #and also because it's good exam practice. but the chitchat has more immediate priority

this is so cool. went to a bookstore w some friends yesterday and we found a loose LAMY in the stationery section (weirdly, no other LAMYs in sight so it was prob old stock) we found the empty box under the little kiosk (hooray for using my cane to fish stuff outta there) the barrel was nowhere to be found. I just grabbed the thing cus I figured the other half already got swept up and tossed (this was a big chain bookstore so I don't think they'd care)

found a replacement barrel online already (it was like 5bucks plus shipping so yippee) cheapest LAMY I ever got!

#i love love love surprise finds #esp like this #and like normally i wouldntve cared for this colour but it looks so good in my case w everything! #and it feels so special cus it was rescued from future garbage hehee #LAMY safari #fountain pens #stationery #fountain pen posting

trying to decipher my scribblings from last night enough to type them up, why did i think it would be fun to write out stories in my journal instead of on my laptop

#i know why #it's because i have a new journal #and new fun coloured ink cartridges for my pen #also me not knowing you could get fountain pen ink in colours other than blue or black #how have i gone this long without purple ink? #but the good thing about writing in my book is keeping it by my bed #in case of any ideas #i've made that mistake before

A Home For My Desk Pens

Those inexpensive Chinese fountain pens on my desk needed protection from my clumsiness and to prevent escaping to parts unknown. So I bought an equally inexpensive case to keep them safe. It holds twelve pens but there are just six in my rotation so it only needs to be left open to access the current crew. When closed, the pens are protected and can’t go wandering as I have been known to lose…
