The inks currently in my Pro Gears. Still going with two blues, two purples/browns/maroons, and two greens, usually by Sailor. . . . #fountainpen #sailor #sailorpen #sailorprogear #tomoeriver #sailorink #fpn #fpgeeks #penaddict #handwriting #stationery #stationeryaddict #currentlyinked
I havenât used this ink in a couple of years. I inked up my Realo on a whim this morning and was reminded of how beautiful this blue is. . . #fountainpen #sailorpen #sailorpens #sailorpg #sailorpgrealo #writinglabvintagedenim #sailorink #sailorinks #stationery #stationeryaddict #tomoeriver #fpn #penaddict #fpgeeks
Two of my favorite grinds: a blade Turk from @nibgrinder and a mini-NAG from @tokyostationpens, who also did a wonderful job of plating the gold Sailor nib on the right. Inks are Morita Shade Green and Writing Lab Old Burgundy. . . #fountainpen #sailorpen #conidpen #conid #sailorpgrealo #quotes #stationery #stationeryaddict #jamesbaldwin #nibgrinder #tokyostationpens #penaddict #fpn #fpgeeks
These are fun! Hereâs my current ink crush: YouStyle 202 Sudashi Midori, an ink meant to represent the color of the Castanopsis sieboldii tree. Itâs a gorgeous, wet, sheeny murky green that I canât get enough of right now. . . #fountainpen #fountainpens #fountainpenink #fountainpeninks #stationery #stationeryaddict #tomoeriver #sailorink #sailorinks #murkygreen #glasspen #penaddict #fpgeeks #fpn
Sailorâs Manyo Shirakashi is lovely. I assumed it would be close to Rikyu-cha and Cigar, but itâs actually pretty different. More muted, a little less saturated, a little greener, with nice shading and a hint of copper sheen. Very nice. . . #fountainpen #fountainpenink #fountainpeninks #sailorink #sailormanyo #tomoeriver #inkswatch #stationery #stationeryaddict #penaddict #fpgeeks #fpn #glasspen #inknuma

Having fun with some @sailor.1911 Ink Studio samples from @yoseka.stationery while indulging in my paper obsession. . .

The powerâs out, so Iâm distracting myself (not that I need an excuse…). The paper in these very affordable @kokuyostationery Report Pads is spectacular. . .

These murky greens and green-browns are slippery, changing from one paper to the next. Iâve been swabbing them on a bunch of different papers and, so far, the winner is OK Fools. Itâs hard to capture the very subtle differences in these shades, but this paper does a very nice job of it. . #fountainpen #fountainpens #fountainpenink #fountainpeninks #inkjournal #stationery #handwriting #sailorink #sailorpen #sailorpgrealo #stationeryaddict #paperaddict #penaddict #fpn #fpgeeks
My lone surviving writing sample of Sailor Brown, written around 15 years ago. The bottle is long gone and the ink has been discontinued for ages - any suggestions for a look-alike Sailor ink? . . #fountainpen #fountainpens #sailorink #sailorpen #sailorpens #stationery #cursive #handwriting #clairefontaine #namiki #stationeryaddict #penaddict #fpn #fpgeeks
This ink is really messing with my brain. It looks different on every paper I put it on. From top left to bottom right: Cosmo Air Light, Graphilo, TR 52gsm (old version), Spica Bond (love this paper), Kokuyo Report Pad. . . #fountainpen #fountainpens #ink #inkswatches #inkjournal #paper #stationery #stationeryaddict #graphilo #tomoeriver #sailorink #sailorpen #fpn #penaddict #fpgeeks
Iâve been enjoying the meditative practice of re-swatching all of my inks (for the nth time…) on these wonderful @tsubame_note cards from @yoseka.stationery , who also included a very thoughtful note with the package. ðð¼ . . #fountainpen #fountainpens #ink #inks #stationery #paper #paperaddict #stationeryaddict #handwriting #cursive #fpn #fpgeeks #penaddict #conidpen #conidpens
Getting caught up in the @yamamoto_paper testing craze. I love the sampler I ordered from @shigureinks and itâs been fun trying out different papers, even if the changes to Tomoe River do make me a little sad. Cosmo Air Light is no doubt a great paper, as is Spica Bond, but (so far) no paper stands out as a direct TR replacement for my journaling. . . #paper #fountainpen #fountainpens #stationery #fountainpeninks #fountainpenink #swatching #inkjournal #stationeryaddict #paperaddict #notebookaddict #handwriting #cursive #fpgeeks #penaddict #fpn
This feels like the absolute least that I can do. Iâm committing to do more, to continue to listen and to continue to learn, to act and to work. Iâm a therapist in the foster care system and I fear for the Black children and the Black parents I work with. I see the impact of systemic racism on their lives. I worry about the 6-year old boy I work with, who already experiences post-traumatic stress and who has already witnessed the impact of systemic racism on his parents. I worry about the 14-year old I work with and his interactions with police officers raised and trained to perceive him as a threat, rather than as a human being. Their lives matter. Breonna Taylorâs life, and death, matter. All Black lives matter. #sayhername #sayhernamebreonnataylor #blm #blacklivesmatter
Spring-y ink for a spring-y day! 967 has some beautiful shading and really unique black sheen - one of my faves form the collection. And putting the FA nib in my @conidpen seems to have alleviated the railroading issues that can occur with this nib. . . . #conidpen #conid #sailorink #sailorinkstudio #cursive #handwriting #stationeryaddict #stationery #journal #tomoeriver #nanamipaper #nanamicrossfield #pilotpen #penaddict #fpgeeks #fountainpen
At some point years ago, and completely unintentionally, âpeace of mindâ became the phrase that most often comes out when I mess around with my pens. âDelightedâ and âdelayedâ also make frequent appearances. ð¤·ð¼ââï¸ Cameos by my @birminghampens Sixth Avenue and Taccia Hokusai-Benitsuchi. . . . #birminghampens #tacciaink #fountainpen #fountainpens #stationery #nanamicrossfield #handwriting #fpn #fpgeeks #penaddict
Iâm using this opportunity to start a commonplace journal for my clinical work. I hope I can sustain it! Iâm starting with a list of Routes of Safety (from @mswjake ). Hope everyone is staying safe, both physically and emotionally.
Pen is a @conidpen Bulkfiller, fitted with a @platinum.pen B nib from @therealnibsdotcom and filled with my favorite green ink, @nagasawa_umeda Chaska Green. Notebook is a B6 Café Note from Nanami Paper with a @herz_bag leather cover. . . . #fountainpen #fountainpens #stationery #stationeryaddict #kobeink #conid #conidpen #nanamipaper #tomoeriver #herzleather #platinumpen #platinumpens #commonplacebook #commonplacebooks #journal #journaling #handwriting #penaddict #fpgeeks #fpn #socialwork #polyvagal #therapy

Iâll always have a soft spot for 52gsm Tomoe River, but Graphilo might be my favorite paper. Inks are Kobe #39 and OMAS Blue. . . . #fountainpen #fountainpens #bujo #bulletjournal #sailorink #journal #graphilo #stationery #fpn #penaddict #fpgeeks #stationeryaddict #omas

Four âidenticalâ nibs from @yukio.nagahara, four different writing experiences, which really speaks to the hand-ground nature of these nibs and adds to the pleasure of pursuing them. . . . #sailorpen #sailorpens #nagahara #naginatatogi #naginatatogigrind #fountainpen #fountainpens #tomoeriver #stationeryaddict #notebook #notebookaddict #fpn #fpgeeks #penaddict #sailorink
Itâs impossible to call the Lamy 2K underrated, but I find myself often forgetting about just how good a pen it is. The build quality is rock solid and the EF is perfectly tuned.

Iâm attempting a new thing. I was trying to figure out what to do with this Nanami notebook and decided to just fill up each page with stream of consciousness gibberish of a different color. The original intent was to focus solely on color and alleviate the stress of caring about what the pages look like (as I sometimes do with my ink catalogue). The notebook is turning into a long meditation on loss. But I do like the effect of a color to a page. . . . #fountainpen #fountainpens #nanamipaper #journal #notebook #handwriting #cursive #stationery #stationeryaddicts #fpn #fpgeeks #penaddict #sailorpen #sailorinks #sailorprogear
