Inkyjournal conducts an experiment to find out the qualities of the Rohrer & Klingner Old Bordeaux ink.
I bought some bottles of Rohrer & Klinger at The Writing Desk from the United Kingdom. The shop has a nice Col-o-rama. Rohrer & Klingner is a German company that makes all kinds of ink since 1892. I filled my purple Lamy Safari (fine) with this fine color.

From An Inkophile’s Blog:
Serendipity. Now there’s a word you don’t hear often but it suits this occasion. Serendipity is defined as “The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident.” Ink/pen/paper success is accomplished in exactly that manner. Today I got lucky.
As I was writing an entry in my daily journal, an Apica 6A10, I was [...]
Pencil Talk features the Moleskine® Project Planner.
Talk about long accordion folds of paper! The Moleskine Project Planner is essentially a long zig-zag folded piece of paper inside the familiar Moleskine exterior – black cover, elastic band, pocket inside the back cover.

Kim Mason of Grandiloquent Musings experiments with several recommended pens to find out the most suited for left-handers.
“Being a left-hander, with the inverted writing style (hand over the top), my writings are very prone to smearing, as my hand drags over my writing. I’ve noticed that most left-handers seem to have this problem. “
Therefore…
“… I’ve [...]

Fellow Moleys.
What are field notes?
* sorry for being a blonde.*

I have a daily blog; usually I do individual drawing, but lately I’m stuck on ideas. Any multiple-day themes I could do? In the past I’ve done food, drinks, saints, dog breeds, etc. I’m stuck on a good idea however.
Broadcasting Brain’s Mark Dykeman reveals that he is “a bit borderline obsessive-compulsive” when it comes to his paper notebooks. Though he admits that he “massacres” and “abuses” his notebooks, he loves writing in pen and paper. He goes on to reveal that notebooks are a “great, if somewhat archaic, way to capture your thoughts.”
