Continuing my A3 Doodle Project, here is the September doodle. I know October is almost over, but I still wanted to post this one, even if it is late. I took August off because I didn’t think I’d have enough time, so you didn’t miss that one. As you all know, summer months can get pretty busy, and I wasn’t …
Continuing my A3 Doodle Project, here is the July doodle. This is a continuation of June’s doodle. I had wanted to do more doodling in June, but I ran out of time, and in July I was traveling for a good part of the month, so I figured I’d finish the doodle I started in June. Since the beginning of …
Continuing my A3 Doodle Project, here is the June doodle. I don’t have a name for this pattern, but I guess Circles or Dots would be appropriate. To go along with the circle theme, I used the circle template from last month’s doodle to keep these contained in a nice, round pattern. These dots want a nice, wet pen, preferably …
Continuing my A3 Doodle Project, here is the May doodle. I started doing this Petals pattern, knowing it was one that I enjoyed and that it could take up a lot of space, but I soon realized I didn’t know how to tie the separate patterns together into one big, cohesive doodle. It turns out I ran out of time …
A while back I was contacted by Adam from ACMc Studio to see if I wanted to try out some blotting paper. I feel like there aren’t many options out there when it comes to blotting paper, so having another option is always a good thing. I’ve been using the blotters he sent over for the past few months and …
Continuing my A3 Doodle Project, here is the April doodle. I had originally planned on filling up the entire sheet of paper with this pattern, but it was deceptively much more time consuming than I thought it would be. Every time I’d sit down to doodle for 10-15 minutes, I’d put down my pen and it looked like hardly any …
Earlier this year I was gifted a pack of original A3-sized Tomoe River 52gsm paper. While I was very happy to receive such a wonderful gift, it immediately presented a problem for me. More than one, actually. First, what the heck am I going to do with A3 paper? It’s way too big for most practical uses and I hate …
When I was first contacted over a year ago by Tia with Hemlock & Oak, I was surprised and flattered that they wanted me to give some feedback on a new paper that they were developing. According to their email, they were “interested in developing an alternative to Tomoe River that is uncoated and FSC-certified”. Of course, I said I’d …
It seems like towards the end of every year I need to make small updates to the different paper sample packs that I offer. This year is no different. While there won’t be very many changes, there will be a few. Big Paper Sample Pack The Big Sample Pack is the first paper sample pack I ever made and has …
If you enjoy doodling with your fountain pens, or have tried any of the doodles in my doodle posts, you’re probably aware that the ink you use can have a big impact on your doodling. In this post I want to take a look at how ink choice can affect doodling and what some of the different fountain pen ink …
