Show Us A Photo Of A Journal Entry

[Blade Runner]

It would be neat to see examples of journal entries (suitable for all audiences) to see different methods, handwriting, drawings, and the kind of journals people use.

Fun thread.

 

This pic is an old one, but as close as it gets to my natural writing, using a Namiki Falcon, though erroneously, a Sailor 1911M is posing in the picture!

I also often do illustrated entries in a pocket notebook, though not always using a fountain pen. This one does, though (again with a Namiki Falcon):

What beautiful handwriting. Thanks for sharing. I like the paper in this journal. Can you tell us who sells this type of journal?

[Chris Chalmers]

This is a photo of my journal some five years ago - but my style is the same - the journal was "Exacompta" made in France, bought from Pendemonium, with lined pages that took every pen and ink and nib combination I used. The pen in the picture is one of the LE Filcao Tukano pens, with silver barrel overlay and a lovely smooth medium nib.

Great idea for a thread! It's nice to see what goes into other journals, and how. I fell out of the habit of journaling at the beginning of Summer, so I transcribed a poem to get back into it.

Thanks! It's fun to leaf through it, and a welcome escape from grad school work to write in it. May we see yours?

I love your handwriting and notebook - it's always a pleasure to see pictures of them. Thanks!

[mdoering]

@fifthblackbird - OUTSTANDING I wish my handwriting even came close to that... what pen/nib was that done with?

 

Here is a shot of my humble little moleskin journal with the first page of it's latest entry...

 

http://mark.intervex.net/fpn/images/journal_1.jpg

 

The pen is a Regal "Elizabeth" fountain pen, a pretty good writer with a nice heavy solid metal barrel... (looks a bit like a knock-off of a Montblanc Marcel Proust) It was a cheap eBay find, $23 including shipping, brand new, with 3 carts and a converter. Ink used is Bethge No. 5 (a private label by J. Herbin)

Wow! some beautiful handwritings over there!!

The advantage of mine: I am the only one that get to read it...

 

 

Notes about a book I am reading now. The notebook is not of high qualitiy, you can see some bleedthrough. I like to use at leat two colors.

 

PS: very nice topic, thank you!

Beautiful handwriting... Makes me throw up on my notebooks.

Definitely not the best handwriting, but I'm getting much better from the chicken scratch I used to have.

 

This is the only "journal" I really keep. Every time I ink up a new pen I try to put my favorite quote into this journal with the date/pen used/nib size/ink used. It's a nice record of what inks look like in certain pens and I can at least estimate what they will look like in other pens!

I love the topic, so I give a try to bring it back to life! Here is a dancing bunny

 

 

 

and, well, another one

[saskia_madding]

Okay, I am now dedicating my life to getting hand writing like Edgar Allan Bo. Seriously, it is gorgeous and I'm totally envious.

[Basilios]

Oo I like this topic. I unfortunately don't have a picture of this yet,but I will post one soon.

 

I must admit my writing sucks and I cant handwrite at all.

 

I'll make sure to post a picture of my neatest writing lol.
