I know I’ve been doing a lot of watercolor in the past year, but I’m first and foremost a calligrapher (and a pen hoarder).
So, after a lot of foot-dragging, I’m finally getting around to swatching my pens and inks! Maybe I’ll put all this in a notebook later, but for now, these drawer-sized cards are perfect to grab and fill in whenever the adhd gods decide to favor me
Four drawers down, only 50 bazillion more to go 😅
Bonus content: my top 3 faves!
A Sharpie gel pen for everyday use
A subway stub (vintage Spencerian nib) in a tachikawa pen holder—my go-to for loose ink and watercolor lettering
The pentel sign touch is a beginner-friendly, flexible felt tip brush pen
#handlettering#pens#gellyroll#artline#random glass dip pen set#maybe I should do another pen count#it’s been a few years

Mail time!! To celebrate finishing my MLIS (Masters of Library & Information Science), my postcard features library hand—which is what they used to fill out card catalog entries before the typewriter became popular :)

I have painted a giant thing, and it’s going to hang in my college library
It’s wild to look back at my first attempt at trees a year ago and remember how nervous I was about watercolor

This ee cummings poem is on its way to its new home this morning!
We started with the idea of an oft-read love letter (using my favorite walnut-gold ink!!), and scope-creeped our way into a watercolor background as well, and I just love how it turned out 🥰

I didn’t plant anything in my garden this year, but I got a wild tangle of sunflowers anyway—lucky me!
#my neighbor has a garden#so#there’s also a cantaloupe growing thru the fence#and the fattest cucumber I’ve ever seen#but I planted sunflowers last year#I thought the birds ate all the seeds
