Currently Inked - September 2024

In this episode(ha!) I ink up my pens to match a book cover and an image from a color-by-number app! Why not?
Insta is cerealnana_arts and I am terrible at posting there. It is a good place to message me if you need to.

I love your random collages as you call them. Great pen and ink pairings and thank you for the book recommendation too! Have a great week Shauna 😊

[@cerealnana]

I am super happy with this ink palette! Except for that yellow. That is a nope for writing in the evening.

[@jppenandink]

@@cerealnana I love my yellows too, but as you said, hard on the eyes in the evening

[@autisticbucky]

i loved reading A Prayer For the Crown-Shy! this is such a good colour scheme, thanks for sharing! 💛

[@cerealnana]

I want to make everyone read that series!

[@Amyduckie]

Loveee the colours! That yellow is so perfectly matched! A Prayer for the Crown-Shy is definitely my favourite of the two. Need to try them on audio!

[@cerealnana]

I think it might have been you, with a little bit of Seemownay, who talked me into reading it!

[@ruonpaper]

Writing down the book recommendation! I love the colour palette you ended up with, they work well together.

[@cerealnana]

This is the happiest I have been with a palette for a long time! Except for that yellow. Can't deal with the yellow.

[@christinemcgregor9970]

Love the rainbow of colors. That yellow really impressed me and I'm not a yellow ink person.

[@cerealnana]

It is very pretty, and somewhat legible, but not in the evening on the sofa.

[@MrsAlchemist]

Very pretty pens, in a rainbow order. I‘m always happy to see Kaweco summer purple 💜 Your Pilot purple mix is pretty! I want to try mixing with kirk-same to get a lighter one… we‘ll see how that goes ☺️ I want to try that Moonman mini- I’m so curious how that feels!

[@cerealnana]

Show me if you do end up mixing it! I have been throwing this Moonman around in my purse, backpack, everything and it is doing really well!

[@MrsAlchemist]

@@cerealnana will do, now that you encouraged me ☺️

[@jessicaburris629]

Not the sample bag of hell! 😂😂😂

[@cerealnana]

I am gearing up to count it. I am scared.

[@thecloudydesk]

It's my absolute favorite book series! I reread the first one like once a year

[@cerealnana]

I will be doing this too. I need more books in this series!

[@tinyluminaryexpert1557]

I love this! I struggle with Celadon Cat, my goodness, it is dry. Thanks for the book tip :)

[@cerealnana]

I am absolutely keeping this pen because it made that ink work!

[@Oldandinky]

My 700r Iris is also on the chopping block.

[@cerealnana]

Gotta hone the pen collection to just the faves!

[@Oldandinky]

So true

[@kat-yd6je]

My Monteverde moonstone feathers and bleeds so bad and I really sad about it! It’s so pretty 😢

[@cerealnana]

Oh no! There was a weird year for Monteverde when all their inks seemed to be going wrong. I think they have sorted it if you want to try again someday!

[@kat-yd6je]

@@cerealnana its a sample I got from Goulet Pens this month! I chose 4 monteverde inks and they all feather and bleed to some extent but Moonstone was the worst of them. I got 10 or 11 brands and 30 samples and the only weird ones were monteverde
