Someone on reddit asked about my journaling supplies so I thought I’d share here too!
Traveler's Notebook is my only journaling system, I started using it in 2017 and have been loving it ever since!
The 4 fountain pens shown are my current inked pens that I'm cycling through, the Sailor Pro Gear Slim is my newest baby 🥺🤧
Having both the Kodak Mini 3 Retro and Mini 2 Retro is probably unnecessary but it’s nice having options of printing my photos in either 3x3" or 2x3". The 3x3" sometimes take up a lot of space on the page, and the 2x3" is perfect for that spot on the inside cover of a TN insert. The Kodak photo paper is also less bulky than Fuji Instax films!
The Kokuyo Dotliner is super handy for sticking photos and ephemera on pages without using liquid glue or a glue stick, and I think it gives my pages a cleaner look as opposed to taping them down
The rest of my supplies are watercolours, assorted washi tape, markers/mildliners, fineliners, stickers, etc
Ginko pen standees are back in stock by popular demand! also I'm running a little boxing day/end of preorder countdown sale so there's gonna be different discounts everyday until the end of the preorder! today is free shipping!
Tutorial: How to refill a Pen or Converter with a Syringe
(This is an update of a post we did over ten years ago. The links to the photos had broken and I realized that this technique applies to more than just a TWSBI.)
With a TWSBI Eco or 540/580, sometimes they don’t suck up a full reservoir worth of ink when dipping the nib into a bottle. Or… you are down to the last drops of ink or trying to fill from a sample. This problem can also arise with pens…
Why do cool school supplies make homework less miserable? Look at these post-it notes! They are graph paper! Look at them! My notes have never looked better! And I can put fun colors in my fountain pen for contrast!
My raw cursive handwriting. Just taking a “before” shot/video prior to taking myself through penmanship drills to learn the Palmer Method, business cursive, and Spencerian. Handwriting and penmanship is an under appreciated craft, and I hope to master it someday.
Fountain Pen Review: TWSBI Diamond Mini AL Grape - Limited Edition
I don’t know precisely why I love my TWSBIs as much as I do. Sure there’s the fact that they’re sort of modern, tech-y looking with the see through barrels, and the piston filler. There’s the fact that my TWSBIs almost always start on the first go, and don’t run dry unless they are literally out of ink. The, ECOs, of which I have three, are incredibly reasonably priced so they make great…
This 21 pen questions tag was started by Ana of The Well Appointed Desk a while ago, and I recently found out about it via a Pen Addict post. It’s been interesting reading other people’s answers, so I thought it would be fun to answer these questions myself.
1: What is the pen they’ll have to pry out of your cold dead hands?
The Pilot Lucina. I have a pretty strong sentimental attachment to…
I noticed you replied to one of my fountain pen posts, and I got so excited! Do you have a favorite fountain pen? I think both of my Twsbis are my favorites. They write like a dream. 🖋️
Thank you for asking! It's wonderful to meet other fountain pen nerds. I'm relatively new to the hobby. I was so excited to re that it took me a while to reply.
I cannot choose just one, but TWSBI is included! They are outstanding pens. They write beautifully. I especially appreciate how long ink can stay in its barrel and write smoothly before needing to be changed.
Here are my favourites:
from L to R:
1. Narwhal Key West in Key Largo Blue (thank you to @platybelle for identifying it! I couldn't remember which it was, and it really bothered me.)
2. Benu Talisman in Shooting Star
3. Benu Euphoria in Vodka on the Rocks
4. TWSBI VAC 700R in Iris
(the rainbow didn't photograph well here because I was trying to get the holographic and iridescent glitter in the resin of the other pens to sparkle...)
