🌲January🌲

With the exception of the pocket watch, I've had these stickers for two years. They're actually from an advent calendar, and I knew the moment I saw them I wanted to use them for a future log.

Not sure why it has taken this long to do that though.

The pocket watch is nearly a year older than the rest of the stickers. It was just a single die cut sticker, I had no idea why I wanted it, but it finally got used.

Also, I really need to learn to not put in the month in which the journal starts in. It didn't need a January section and I could have shoved everything back so I could have a future me section for anything that would not fit.

The booklet that I decided to use for swatches clearly hates ink. It does this weird kind of grey feathering. So I'm also including some other types of paper (cardstock and my todo list for today).

Just a good blue (which is my favorite color) with lots of shading. I will compare it to Diamine Marine later this week. I feel like they are pretty similar? Maybe this is more liquid.

some close ups of the pens and ink combos i made during september.

i feel like tumblr isnt suuuper the place for things like this, but this clip from a larger video i'm making seemed a lot easier to post than trying to format a bunch of pictures.
