Cozy drawing and painting with the Esterbrook Camden Oktoberfest fountain pen in Fine, using Jacques Herbin ink in Lie de Thé and Orange Indien. 🍂

New pen for Christmas. The Ferris Wheel Press Brush pen, Echoes of Eaton. Really nice black satin finish. And I can’t wait for the brass to patina and make it look all old and vintage. 🖤🖤🖤

Calligra-kitty with my new Herbin ink, all colour matching except my kit bag.

(Also featuring: my attempts at Ronde script, in KWZ ink Miodowy, which I bought by mistake but kind of love.)

ink swatches up ahead, just using up my samples and having fun Wahoo!

First set: Inks with shimmer, though not all of the ones I have

Ferris Wheel Press Unfettered. It's cute, it's a very light grayish blue with pink shimmer.

Jacques Herbin Emerald of Chivor, a blue-teal ink with gold/green shimmer. The red sheen is my favorite to get on the Midori MD notebooks, I use it in my broad nibbed fountain pens for maximum red sheen.

Colorverse Ham Glistening. A blue ink with purple shimmer. Another favorite of mine. Purple glitter.

Diamine Shimmer Purple Pazzazz. Purple with gold shimmer. Another favorite of mine. Use it in a broad nib because it's prone to clogging my finer nibs. Very shiny. A lot of the shimmer just comes out in it.

I finished my journal today. And I start a new one. How bittersweet.

This pile of tree corpse felt like my own personal horcrux. But also, like a friend that was never busy. Also, like a shrink that was able to think logically when my brain was in fight or flight. Like a parent who could guide me when I felt lost. Like a teacher making sure I don't forget a lesson.

If things carry life in them, this thing absolutely does. I would know. I put most of it in there, myself.

Here's to horcruxes. They keep us alive.

Jacques Herbin Turquoise de Perse

Well, I am obsessed with blue-greens and love the Jacques Herbin glitter inks, so this was a no brainer for me. Of all the shimmer inks I've tried, they are the least prone to clogging and have some of the most vibrant colours. The price tag is on the steep side, but you're definitely getting a good product (except for Rouge Hematite. That ink is awful.).

I was worried at first that this would be close to Kyanite du Népal, the other bright blue in this line, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Turquoise de Perse is lighter, and straddles the line between cyan and seafoam green. My phone is notoriously bad at capturing blue-greens accurately, so you'll have to take my word for it when I say that it's greener in person.

Gorgeous colour. This is Tomoe River paper, a blank page in the back of an old Hobonichi--the legendary pre-Sanzen TR, but hey, what is the point of nice things if you don't use them, right? Anyway, if you've used other inks from this line you know what to expect in terms of performance. The flow is very high, which presumably helps mitigate clogging. I personally like wet-writing inks, but YMMV. You'll want good paper for sure. It has gold shimmer like Emeraude de Chivor, but the two are extremely different colours, so having all three of these is filling all different niches to me.

I loaded it into my Platinum 3776 Sands of Komodo (B nib), which previously exclusively drank Kyanite du Népal. But I think this is a better match, and I enjoy a good pen-ink match.

So yeah! Cool ink! Glad I picked it up. I don't have anything quite like this in my collection so I'm thrilled to have it.

Drawing and painting with Herbin fountain pen ink, Lie de The, on this cold and cozy day. Stay warm out there! ✨☕️

Sometimes hitting a wall when writing can be weirdly and easily helped by picking up a pen and paper and closing up the laptop. Will I still have to type up what I've (illegibly) handwritten? Sure. But I guess at least I'm getting words down.

(Reminded to do this thanks to @wunderschon-lieblich‘s reblog of a post to maybe limit the screen time a little more...😅 *she says as she posts about it on the internet*)

Undying Tales 2 : il s'agit du plongeon à bec blanc. Inspiré d'une légende d'Amérique du Nord

Pentel et encres Jacques Herbin sur papier coloré. , format A5.

Disponibilité de l'original : ✅

Légende du plongeon à bec blanc :

🇺🇲 "The mournful and beautifully poignant cry of the loon can be heard skimming across the waters at dawn and dusk. The Tsimshian people who live in Canada and Alaska have a story of how the loon got its white necklace of feathers. Loon assisted a blind man, restoring his vision by taking him under his wing and swimming swiftly under the mirror clear waters of a lake. After several circuits of the lake, when Loon and the man emerged, his sight was restored. He gifted Loon his traditional Tsimshian necklace, and it melted across Loon’s neck to create the white pattern of feathers around the bird’s ruff."

[Image ID: Picture of a white notepad with the following text written in cursive with fancy captial letters in grey ink:

... And the Current flows on without end

If I could trace with Bloodless fingers

If my Hands could shape the flow

I’d bear this song to the Precipice

And Rend us both to dust below

We’d both go plunging Downwards

One finall fall from Grace

I’d Howl, I’d Scream, in victory

And we’d be Gone without a trace

But we’ll Never be rid of each other

My Song, my Sorrow, and I

So I’ll bear it trembling Onwards

To Drift on, to Dream, to Die

And where my Final footsteps fall...

Along the right side of the notepad there is a dark purple pen. /End ID]

My piece from yesterday’s Sketchwalk at Geylang Serai, a popular Malay / Muslim enclave in the mid-eastern part of Singapore.

Ramadan is about over and Hari Raya (translated: Big Day; celebrating the end of Ramadan) is around the corner, and this part of town is usually teeming with atmosphere and festivities this time of the year.

While most of our sketchers were sketching up Malay-inspired architecture across the street, Ken and I decided to capture some favorite Malay eats – a big part of the Hari Raya festivities, and certainly Singapore Malay Culture.

This stall (operating since 1985) is a very popular Malay dessert place selling Putu Piring, a Kueh (steamed rice cake) with brown palm sugar (Gula Melaka) fillings, sprinkled with freshly grated coconut, usually served on a tiny piece of banana leaf. It reminds me a lot of the Chinese Kueh Tu-Tu.

One bite into the steamy, soft and slightly powdery and bland exterior, and you will be greeted with an explosion of nuanced, textured sweetness, and that combination is just heavenly… and I don’t even have a sweet tooth. 😂

The other sweet delights on the table I bought from the neighboring stalls; the Putu Piring was the star.

An urban sketcher at heart, I could not help but also capture the shopfront, with dedicated kak-kaks (older sisters) and makciks (older ladies / moms) hard at work churning out Kueh after Kueh.

Wonderful hangout with my bros Ken and Alvin sketching up these sweet delights.
