Hello!



Today I would like to share with you another custom journal I recently made for a fellow FPN member. For this one, I was asked a full leather in a Gatz' Ethiopian style. It is approximately 21 x 15 cm (8.26 x 5.9 inches) and it has 400 pages (800 counting both sides) of cream Tomoe River paper.

She wanted the word "Davis" blind tooled on the bottom right.

Also, she asked for an elastic band.

For the part of the inside of the covers I used paste paper that I made.

Finally, I made a box for her to keep the journal. For the box I used red cloth and the same paste paper for the top of the box, so it combined with the journal. The inside of the box has red velvet, so it gets a soft touch.

I hope she likes it when she gets it!





Thanks for reading!!




Anna

So, now I shall out myself.... as the happy owner of this great book.

 

The color isn't really RED, it's the color of purple heart wood.

Oh, dang it. I'll post in a minute, I have to go upload photos.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I'm uploading now, but I'll keep typing.

 

Lest you think I'm disappointed with the color, I am not. My hope chest was made from purpleheart wood and the pen holder on my desk (my first gift from a FPNer) are both made of purpleheart wood. I'm thrilled with the color.

While I'm fighting with the FTP server, I'll send some smaller images here to FPN.

 

This is me writing in the journal.

      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
