Artist's Loft (Michaels) Journals


Recommended Posts

I bought these journals for $5 each at Michaels today. I thought I'd test one of them to see how it do with fountain pen ink; I assume that the second probably has the same paper in it and would perform identically. They're made in China.

The tested journal is 249 pages of 6x8 inch paper with dot grid lining. It advertises "ink proof, acid free, lays flat, blank table of contents, page markers and elastic enclosure band."

Conclusion: They aren't Rhodia Webnotebooks, but, for the price, I think they're very nice and a worthy addition to my growing stockpile of nice paper.

As a general rule I don't care much for artist loft products but sometimes a gem can emerge like quality paper. It can happen and with my 50% off coupons the price gets even better.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
