Italian Language Study Wandering



Sketchbook Wandering is studying languages again. 
I'm taking a beginning Italian language class for travelers as well as an advanced French conversation class. 
Fountain pens, journals & colored pencils are a big part 
of my arsenal for studying. 
Missing my sketchbook wandering, but I'm loving this! 
My brain & spirit are happy.

For the Love of Penmanship

What do all these images have in common?
I wrote a letter to my 3rd grade teacher to thank her for teaching me cursive.
(It's not one I can really send). But it was a great prompt for journaling/memoirs.
I've been refining my cursive writing with a book, The Art of Cursive Penmanship.

A Test of the Pens in a new Quo Vadis Journal.
Clairfontaine dot grid but on white instead of cream color
like my favorite Rhodia Web Notebooks.

 

Pages from my Daily Journal


A different sort of art journal. Folio collage in which I'm using up snippets, little drawings
& watercolor washes & designs from my stored stash.

Yes! Handwriting with fountain pens! Love!
PS My favorite source for pens, ink, journals, paper:
Goulet Pens. Variety, customer service, yes,
but also education & inspiration of how to further 
their use & enjoyment.

Do you write/draw with a fountain pen or did you?
