Fernan, as usual you have shown us the height of style. The classic 88, a cup and saucer with muted lighting, and your beautiful writing. Is that a stub nib on your 88?

Hello everyone! Nice thread! I don't really have a journal but here is a page from my sketchbook and my vintage Sheaffer...

Wow that's great! Does your paper bleed through when you use water colors?

Thanks! My sketchbook is Epsilon by Stillman and Birn, and there is no bleeding through on this paper no matter what I do. They do some really amazing sketchbooks! The page is just slightly buckled but it goes flat if you put a heavy book or something on top of the sketchbook later on. I didn't use any watercolours here, just splattered some water on the Herbin ink.

And you do amazing things with their amazing sketchbooks! Thanks for showing us, and welcome to FPN, its great to have you here.

I keep a daily diary (but that's private), I keep a reflective journal (for professional purposes - so that's private too) but I also keep a note book - pens I've bought, ink I've got etc. My link

Very nicely done.

I've only recently joined FPN so I hope no one will object to my posting to an older thread.

 

Here's my journal sample (from my current blog post on Travel Journaling, if anyone's interested you can see the entire post at:Drawn to Life )

And two more examples -- these from my North Cascades National Park journals. (I was in the park for 10 weeks as Artist-in-Residence and my primary responsibility was to keep a journal! It eventually ran to 8 large Moleskine Japanese albums and 2 large watercolor journals.)

I recently started a journal for each of the kids (because I don't have the time for scrapbooking and/or baby books, but I'm always writing). So here is a picture from it.

I really love the illustrations in your notebooks, all of you.

 

And the journals for your kids, with photos -- what a wonderful idea!

LOVE this!

[lambretta88]

I love this thread and I love your journals!!! They are all absolutely beautiful! Here is a sketch I did yesterday in my Epsilon. The ink is Alt Bordeaux by Rohrer & Klingner and the pen is a vintage Sheaffer with some flex.

My Tennis-Notebook. I write down every game. Never forget your past success !

 

My fountain pen is a Pelikan M215 F-Nib. I write every page with a different ink.

 

This notebook is a Signature Notebook from Daycraft.

Dark fate who was not gracious to me as to give me the gift of drawing...

I just stumbled onto this hobby only a few weeks ago and have enjoyed it immensely. Here's my first journal entry showcasing two of my current favorite pens; the Lamy 2000 and Namiki Falcon Metal both with EF nibs.

I've been journaling off and on since 2001. I had a few notebooks here and there, of varying sizes, prior to that as well. My preference up until recently was smaller pocket journals. With a recent massive amount of testing out different styles and sizes, I think I've found my preferred. When I get around to photographing the older versions, I'll show the evolution of my styling. That is, from horrendous, illegible handwriting to slightly less horrendous, slightly less illegible handwriting.

 

For now, I'm using a cheapy from Barnes and Noble. What? No, I am not one of those shallow folks that think Barnes and Noble has all the good stuff, or even frequent there very often to pretend that I am deep and hipster-ish.

 

That being said, the B&N leather wrap refillable has passed my strenuous field testing, a la taking it out with me into the field in varying weather conditions, being held in my side cargo pants, and in general just being abused.

 

What *really* attracted me to the particular refill, which I believe is Kraft, or something along those lines, is the fact that the thick pages are very good for varying inks, pens, and styles in writing, no feathering, and almost no bleed through. The cost for a 5x7 Journal Refill is around five dollars. The competing brand that they also sell, is called Fiorentino I beleive, and despite being at least twice as much, only takes ballpoint pen, feathers like crazy, and bleedthrough is shockingly apparent even with the slightest of touches.

 

 

Closed up, and the ties that bind have not broken or snapped in over a year.

 

 

Inside flap has slots for two pens. Currently using one Manuscript for Headers, and One Noodler's Flex pen for the entries themselves.

 

 

A demonstration for another site I frequent asking me about my personal journals. I showed them a page where I stopped using this one with a Engraver's Script and Oblique pen to show how calligraphy-friendly it was. Ink is Parker Quink...I know, I know...I just like using it...

Here's one on a Piccadily page and the next on some CF paper.

When I do write it's normally just for the motions of it. Very rarely do I have anything that I want to say. I might copy bits of dialogue from tv or the radio.

Or ramble on about something that happened at school.

Most of the time I draw containers. Usually one a day, but sometimes none, and sometimes 2 or 3. I think better about things and stuff when I draw

than when I write. My thoughts slow down and get bogged up with writing them, but when I draw it's just constant flow. Stream of consciousness sort of

stuff. The patterns I draw in some of the backgrounds really help me think things out.

Nice drawings! Wow, that reminds me a lot of Aldo Rossi's drawings--he liked to do drawings and paintings of coffee

cups and coffee tumblers, which he also designed (with cupolas; they look like some of his buildings).
