Happy Fountain Pen Day! I’m sure you’ve gotten plenty of emails and posts already celebrating this annual event, but I wanted to jump in with a little something of my own. I don’t think it’s any surprise that a huge part of enjoying your fountain pens is using good paper with them. I’ve been offering my paper sample packs for …
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 …
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 …
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 …
With a new year come new updates. Here’s what 2025 is looking like so far… YouTube Back in 2020 I started making videos for my YouTube channel. While I enjoyed it, the time just wasn’t right for me to keep on creating videos. Fast forward to 2025 and it’s time to revive the channel! Picking up where I left off …
It’s that time of year again, when the days start to get shorter and cool off, a bit of color starts to appear on trees, and the vendors and classes get announced for the Colorado Pen Show! This year the show takes place on October 11-13. I’ll have a table at the show and will also be teaching a few …
