Ink and Books and Paper - Oh My!
Thu Nov 07 2024

I seem to be in Dark Mode by default today. I'm putting this font to green in case it switches back to light mode without my permission once the bug is fixed!

I am knee deep in ink and paper mode these days. I just ordered a small B6 Stalogy notebook to use as a diary, I hope. It has fountain pen friendly paper in it. I also have cannibalized a hardcover book I got at the second- hand store to use as a cover for this B6 notebook, because it has a soft cover, and I so often write with my journal in my lap, I need a hard cover in order to write comfortably that way. I tore out the signatures one at a time to leave just the cover and the end papers which actually hold books together in case you didn't know. It looks pretty catastrophic right now.

I'm scared too. 😱

I'll let you know how it turns out. The new notebook arrives on Monday.

In the meantime, here's the latest ink sample page:

It's a very pretty color, but not very practical for everyday writing. It's pale. Though in this photo, close up, it's not too bad. I am thinking of mixing a little bottle with this color and something darker to make a good ink for writing. We'll see how that goes.

We are all in experimental mode today.

(You think YOU'RE scared.... what else are you going to tinker with around here?)

Keep your eyes peeled bucko!

      Yeah, the incongruity! But I have had one foot firmly in the analog, and the other in the digital for a VERY long time now! 🤣
