I got myself this glass dip pen from the DC Pen Show a little while back 🥰

Wow. ✨ My glorious new glass dip pen I’ve been loving lately. It has an extra fine writing tip that’s perfect for tiny grid and lined ruling, and a fat butt for swatching large amounts of ink! Looooove it. 😍

I realized recently (read: today as I'm writing this) that while I associate certain specific fiber arts with Athena (knitting, weaving, dying, and spinning), I associate crochet specifically with Apollo, though Athena's there too, of course. I think it's because it's more free-flowing: I can freehand something with crochet more easily than I can with knitting, both because I've known it longer and because there are fewer Things To Learn, unlike knitting which has a million different techniques that may seem interchangeable but actually aren't and that all affect the end product in a pretty big way (looking at you decreases & bind-offs). Because I can free-hand crochet more easily, and I grew with it the same way I did with drawing, they have similar vibes. Knitting and weaving, on the other hand, have steeper learning curves imo and are way more structured- and I associate more solid (dare I say rigid) structure with Athena. Embroidery and cross-stitch are kinda in their own floating category, maybe because I do them less and therefore have weaker associations with them over-all. I associate hand-sewing largely with Hestia, though again, Athena is always also there, because I associate it with mending, altering clothing, and making home items (ex the quilted pillowcase I've been mentally turning around in my head for the last few weeks).

Interestingly, I find printmaking specifically to be associated with both Athena and Apollo. It leans into the latter's domain, of course, the same way crochet does Athena's, but the structure you need in order to layer & print properly without hurting yourself, ruining equipment, or fucking up you edition seems reminiscent of Athena. Dyeing, especially making & using natural dyes, feels very much like an Athena thing despite it 1) feeling similar to painting or using inks and 2) being a trial & error process that's honestly pretty free-flowing if you approach it a certain way (especially if you do solar dyeing, which doesn't necessarily need some of the more meticulous processes you need to boil-dye something).

this part of the house was supposed to be a deck but, as usual, I turned it into a sunroom. I feel many naps will be taken here.

Glass Dip Pen and Ink Swatches

Don't mind the blurry photo, I could have retaken it seeing as there was nothing particularly private on the page, but I figured to leave it as is.

I had ordered a few weeks ago a glass dip pen, primarily because I found the idea less intimidating than metal dip pen and I needed something that I could use to quickly swatch my inks.

I use my inks for a Lumos refillable fineliner because I love fineliners and it's better than throwing old ones out every time I use them up. In the end I discovered that due to the flow rate of my Lumos, my inks are not as jewel toned as the ones displayed here when writing.

It doesn't make the Lumos a bad pen, it still works and the inks still look lovely but it is different feel and look to use a dip pen. Especially because of the darkening and fading of the colour as my glass pen runs out of ink. A look that is very nostalgia inducing to me and I'm quite fond of the look.

While not practical to use in every day use, I may use the dip pen for the initial filling out of journal spreads and weekly layouts just so I have further excuse to use that pen and see those very pretty ink colours.

Y'know yesterday I was thinking of this and like, I kinda love the way Spamton's nose isn't a straight line, like, it flops down. I feel it really adds to his character because it makes him look imperfect, organic. Which sticks out for a man who is living in a computer world and has lost his real body. It's like, ironic, honestly.

Woke up early cuz it's too hot but with a good idea so I'm writing it down so i don't lose it

When I make deco versions of some windows to use for making facades, i should try making them as lights so that the glass color is theoretically customizable and also the windows can light up at night like there's something going on in there
