Reward for returning to the old with fresh eyes, a mnml digest
Five links. Ten sentences or fewer. On ways to keep my existing collection surprising me. A diverse pen collection helps mix and match pens, nibs and inks so that old pens can surprise me. And straight-up swapping parts carries the day otherwise.
That’s a mighty bold kit for such an EF-loving writer
Give me novelty. Add ripples to my rhythm. Populate my penvelope with bold nibs. This week’s currently inked sextet heavily favors wide nibs.
Posts that reflect on a particular time and place, a mnml digest
Five links. Ten sentences or fewer. On time and place. I appreciate the same in folks’ stationery reflections. What they’re using in their particular time and place. What they’re creating with those pens and inks and notebooks where they are.
Striking a balance between moderates
I entered this week reflecting on my nib choices. With nibs on my mind, I opted for a septet that balances broad lines (two B nibs), medium lines (two M nibs), and three narrow lines (three F nibs). Balance in all things stationery. Stationery in all things balanced.
