Write As If You Were Dying

May 9, 2018 by Karen Filed Under: Lettering, Stationery Reviews Leave a Comment

Write As If You Were Dying

Write as if you were dying. -Annie Dillard

Products used were purchased from JetPens: Kaweco Midnight Blue Ink ?, JetPens Chibi 2 Mini Fountain Pen Fine Nib ☹️, and Kokuyo Soft Ring Notebook Semi B5 Dotted 6mm Rule ?.

I really love this blue ink. I know it is hard to tell in the photo but it is like a beautiful denim blue.

The paper is amazingly smooth to write on. The notebook is great for lefties as the spiral binding is squishy! Pages are perforated so they tear off easily.

What I don’t like is the pen. I got it free with an order from JetPens. I’m finding that as a whole I just don’t like a fine nib and that I also need a pen with more length and heft to it. I write better that way.

Don’t you love my technical system of likes/dislikes with smiley face or frownie face?

One of my very favorite artists, @emily_jeffords, has started a monthly fine art collectors club by mail. June is my first month and it is focused on finding inner peace and the value of a life full of pleasure. 

For $12 a month, it includes beautiful artwork titled “When She Smiles”, a letter full of thoughts, a touch of perfume of the month to inspire your senses, affirmation or poetry of the month, and a curated music playlist. One day, I have a dream to actually own an original piece but for now these small prints will do. 

I framed this month’s artwork and took it to work to join the other framed pieces I have in my cubicle. Why have an ugly cubicle?

Hey y'all! I'm Karen, a Gulf Coast of Florida based purveyor of Southern sass. I'm an Indiana Jones & Anthony Bourdain wannabe. I'm introverted and usually found with my nose in a book and pen/pencil in hand. I'm addicted to yoga, lip gloss, dumplings, and have an intense love for Scotland and Paris. It's been said I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n roll. Read More…
