(originally posted on 2024-05-26) - where are you After a couple more tweaks and test plots, it finally came out pretty close to what I had in mind.
So... where are you?

My annual promise is to use a fountain pen with a plum pattern until the cherry blossoms bloom.

Located most of my pens! Somewhere I have a light grey Conklin but fuck only knows where.
They haven't been used in a long time.
Step one should probably be a good soak of the bits.
Step two is probably locating some ink to refill them with when they're ready.
#NewPenDay I was phenomenally lucky & won the @penaddict members giveaway for last month. I had never wanted to win a giveaway more than this one, as the Mermaid Tears material on this Carolina Pen Co. Charleston made for the Cali Pen Show is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you once again to Brad for such a beautiful pen, as well as the Rickshaw sleeve & Nock co Hightower. I can still barely believe I won it! 
We hear this phrase a lot in society right now: “Do your own research.” And, in the internet age we all get to live with the consequences of that perception that reliable research is just freely available to us. So, as a one time professional researcher (as many of you know my Ph.D. Is in comparative literature) I wanted to write about what makes that impossible.
It boils down to this: well done research requires a lot of context. It isn’t possible to pick up any topic and “research” it with equal skill. Especially in this era, when propaganda and misinformation are so prevalent. And, unfortunately, in an anti-intellectual environment, doing your own research seems to mean disregarding experts in the name of pursuing your own gut.
There’s a phrase for that, it’s “confirmation bias,” when we go on the hunt for the information or resources that confirm what we want to believe.
Now, can experts be wrong? Sure. And a lot of scholarly debate involves drilling down into nuance to correct the incorrect or add specificity to where things have been too broad. But research requires a baseline acceptance that certain resources are basically reliable, that they rely on concrete quantitative and qualitative data when available. That primary and secondary sources have been utilized to verify claims. That, as you research, you are drawing from a wide range of perspectives that have been properly vetted.
In doing my research for this series I’ve relied on investigative journalism, peer reviewed sources, official documentation by human rights organizations. I disregard unverified or unverifiable claims and I do that through cross-referencing.
I also question my perspective, my motives if I find myself pursuing an unverifiable phantom. I learned to do all of this through a decade of training. The skill doesn’t come cheap and it continues to cost time and resources to maintain. It isn’t static, it requires repetition with every new subject. #fountainpen #notes #journalspread

I received lovely mail from a friend and I recognised the paper design right away! It's made by @Coreyartus super lovely and perfectly suitable for fountain pens.
So in case you like pretty papers and fountain pens, this seems like a good pairing. :)
There was also washi tape with grumpy cats entangled in yarn. As a knitter and enthusiast of art, tea and fountain pens. I'm super happy...
Best day ever!
My first attempt at swatching 
. This ink is Diamine X Pure Pens Alexandrite. In real life the ink is a bit more green than shown in the photos.
I used a Tintoretto 5/0 synthetic mop brush for the flower and the main swatch. The writing was done with a dip pen and Nikko Spoon nib

Day 12 of #DailyHandwriting Drill for consistency: write the pangram “The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog” 5 times. As I’ve already done “the quick brown fox…”, I thought I’d throw in 5 other pangrams. They are fun #FountainPen
I have been wearing this coat a lot since I have been regularly carrying my pocket notebook daily
Stay tuned for a #blog post about this project soon!
I love being able to keep my book and pen in this little pocket.. it makes me feel like a detective or something when I whip them out to jot important info down

In this video I take a brief look at the Lanbitou Forest fountain pen.
I then fill it with Diamine Nutmeg ink and do a brief writing sample.
Join me to see what I think about this pen during my first few minutes of using it.

Some more kitty fountain pen sketches! Not a fan of the TWISBI Stub fountain pen, too hard to use!
