Hello from the piedmont region of South Carolina, where this afternoon we had several tornado warnings, but no tornados. I've been a handweaver for 45+ years, and recently started making handbound blank journals as a way of using up some of my stash of handwoven fabrics on the covers. Then I began drawing in the journals, and bought a few fountain pens, and started collecting interesting inks to draw with, and one thing led to another. . .

My favorite writing pens are my Lamys, but I just got a Creaper with flexible nib for drawing. I like to use Noodler's Lexington Gray for line drawings, and sometimes I do watercolor washes over the line work.

Now all I need is a few more hours in the day so that I don't have to steal time from the weaving to give to the fountain pens.

Here's a page from my current sketchbook with my Creaper and Noodler's Nightshade ink. This was sketched in an old cemetery while traveling in Massachusetts last month.

Welcome! One thing certainly does lead to another, and, here in the Network....reading leads to contagion of amassing pens, and inks, and paper!

Hi Arachne, Welcome to FPN.

 

 

That is a great drawing, if somewhat depressing.

Welcome !

 

I look forward to seeing more of your ink scetches in the future.

 

Maybe you will share photos of your handwoven journals ?

 

Write with joy.

Welcome. Glad you joined the forum. This is a great place to spend some time, just be prepared for the addictive side effects. BTW, nice sketch and I too would like to see photos of your journals.
