First Time Using Fountain Pen Ink For Art. Follow Along To See How It Goes

Follow along as I attempt to use fountain pen inks and water brushes to do some painting for the first time. I have seen others do this, and now is the time to finally give it a shot. I will select inks, and then see how it goes on a couple of different images that I received as part of supporting the Olive Octopus Ink St. Jude fundraiser. Come join in and see if I make art, make a mess or potentially both.

Buc-ee’s Stationery Hunt: What Surprises Await? 🖊️🦫

Ever wondered if you can score any cool stationery at the legendary Buc-ee’s? Join me as I take a deep dive into America’s most iconic travel stop to see if there are any hidden pen, paper, or writing gems among the snacks, souvenirs, and beaver-themed merch!

In this video I give you a close-up look at anything stationery-related I find (and my honest take on quality and price!) I had no idea what to expect, and I was able to find a few items that while they would technically be considered stationery, I would not exactly call them ground breaking.

Have you ever stumbled upon an unexpected stationery treasure at Buc-ee’s or another roadside stop? Drop your story in the comments! If you’ve spotted something I missed, let me know so I can check it out next time.

Will This Be The Model That Makes Me Enjoy Using TWSBI Pens?

In this video I am taking another shot at seeing if I can find a TWSBI that I truly enjoy using. I picked up a TWSBI Precision in the gunmetal finish. This pen doesn’t look like a TWSBI, has a completely different feel in the hand from any TWSBI that I have used, and is all metal.

I came across this pen while shopping at the physical Gentleman Stationer store in Nashville. The Precision also comes in a blue finish that was released fairly recently, but that color didn’t catch my eye. Seeing the gunmetal pen in the case, I was intrigued enough to ask to see it, and then we can see where we ended up.

I ink this pen up with Lamy Crystal Obsidian ink, as I felt like the black was a great compliment to both the gunmetal and stainless access on the pen.

You can let Lamy Crystal from The Gentleman Stationer at:

I used my ink station from Pengineer3D when filling it, and this has quickly become a great tool for holding ink bottles when filling pens or doing ink swatches.

I do a writing sample on Life bank paper, and I also end up testing to see if this TWSBI Precision will fit in the pen holder on my Bible size Plotter.
