#Inktober Day 1 - Apple Guest appearance today from Junior Inktober, who correctly thinks my effort is a bit square.

Fountain pen artists of Bluesky! What’s your go to pen for sketching? I mainly use dip pens and I’m looking for something easier to throw in my bag so I can draw on the move. Recommendations very welcome.

I have watched The Odyssey. It was fine…. Some good moments, but mostly underwhelmed after all the hype. I came out wanting to re watch Troy and The Return which are both better at telling their parts of the same story, in very different ways.

Heatwave is the perfect excuse to stay in and get the fountain pen inks out. I jury-rigged a mini aircon with a fan and an ice block. Broke out the walnut ink I hadn’t tried out yet. Cat: *jumps onto table. Sniffs fan. Licks ice, Knocks over ink, and pen pots* yeah this will do. *sprawls*
Photograph of a cat sprawled on drawing paper in front of a case of fountain pen inks and a fan blowing from behind an ice pack. You can tell the cat is pleased with their mischief by the happy whiskers on display.

Drawing day: Took my Diamine Extreme Sheens for a spin on some hummingbirds to show the differences. Before adding water…

This one. Every time. I bought and still have this exact orange greetings card. I also have a 0% success rate with doors.

Here we go! #Inkvent Day 1: Celestial Skies. A deep turquoise/ teal with incredible red/blue/gold shimmer. If they are starting this strong, I’m very exited to see what they end with. An absolute banger.

Please don’t post Inkvent spoilers in the fountain pen feed. If you have jumped ahead, please wait before you post. I don’t check the feed until after I’ve opened it and now I’ve already seen tomorrows.

One more sleep till #inkvent. My trusty dip pen is ready, this year with an added reservoir and I’ve upgraded the paper (Yu- sari).

Finally found some decent storage for my inks and fountain pens. @art.millergeek.xyz was right, a thrift store had the solution. After a lot of fruitless searching this one appeared in the window of my local charity shop. £10, some minor repairs, and fresh liner paper and it’s perfect 🤗

Hey fountain pen sky. I got this Chinese calligraphy brush and paper set for Xmas. 🤗 If anyone has dabbled and has recommendations for the right inks or any decent tutorials or brush care tips etc, I’d be very grateful.

1/ So, where were we? Oh yep, #duvetknowitschristmas. Firstly, some admin: Twitter/X has evidently been run into the ground by a preening, self-radicalised clot, so while there's a slim possibility that this annual celebration might be thriving over there, I won't know cos I won't be looking.

#Inkvent Day 1- Baltic Breeze- a Mid blue with a copper Shimmer- (you need a thick line for the shimmer to be visible) I didn’t see it at all first. I need to practise more with dip pens.

A winter gift for you all. You know those in-store bakery chocolate chip cookies? Pop one in the microwave on low for a few seconds and it reverts to its superior, just out of the oven, warm and gooey form. You are very welcome.

Hey fountain pen sky! As I look forward to opening my first ever Inkvent. What are your favourite storage solutions for many of inks, before they inevitably become enrichment for the small chaos demons I serve.

Impulse purchases ahoy. The Hongdian Black Forest is perfect for my tiny hands. And the Iroshizuku ku-jaku is so very very pretty. I can see an ink collection escalating very quickly.
