This time, I'm going small for my journal -- a 3.5 x 5.5" Delta soft bound sketchbook from Stillman & Birn. And an early Christmas gift to go with it, from DIL Misty Williamson, a Kaweco Liliput fountain pen. I'm loving how smoothly it writes!
And as usual, the first page has my current favorite colors and a quote. After taking this photo, I wrote personal contact info on the other side in case it ever gets lost.
As usual, I managed to smear the ink a bit . . .
This looks like the perfect size. C.S. Lewis was such a great writer. Hope you enjoy and have a blessed week.
ReplyDeletePerfect for slipping into the smallest of purses! Blessings to you as well, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of entering my palette colors into the journal. Hopefully, I will remember to do that when I begin the next new one.
ReplyDeleteMy big challenge is to stick to the same palette throughout the book. Hasn't happened yet!
DeleteBut it is a good reminder to me years later of which colors I preferred at the time, which changes over time. I still have several pans of Daniel Smith's quinacridone gold but it's discontinued. Not sure what I'll do when it's gone.
Love your first pages. A new one! Small is handy, I have also small now, accordion one. Love how you layered the colors through pages.
ReplyDeleteAccordion books can be so much fun, as one sketch wraps around to join the next one!
