I promised myself & you, blog visitors, that I
would glue up my painted Blue papers (previous post)
into a folded folio.
The pages of the little tied up booklet
have become ink swatches
of 5 favorite fountain pen inks in blue:
Diamine Polar Glow, Noodler's Midnight, Sailor 940,
Sailor Yonaga, & Noodler's Blue.
The sentence in the lower right middle, on vellum says,
"Blue, réconforte-moi." Translated: "Blue, comfort me..."
So beautiful...love those blues! Are those folios with watercolor paper?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lin! Yes, that is watercolor paper, Cold press, 140 with washes that I had created when I first got my Daniel Smiths. The pens were drawn on hot press, color added with watercolor, and these are prints of the original pens.
DeleteSo wonderful..
DeleteEnchanting colors! Love all the pockets...is that a writing booklet..or one for watercolor? The one with the ribbon? So much reminds me of a travelers journal or folio
Yes, I stitched up a pamphlet book, the pages inside are card stock.. I have been exploring all kinds of possibilities for Traveler's Notebooks and what they call "Junk Journals." Influence of my Art and Journaling Group which meets via Zoom.
DeleteLooks like fun to make and use!!♥️♥️
ReplyDeleteOh, that's another idea for my tiny blue book -- swatches! I love the colors and how you put your folio together. The blues are all so lovely. Love the name "Noodlers Ink" -- it just sounds fun!
