Lyric Journal. Hobonichi Hollyhocks. Ferris Wheel Press Ink. Magic.

Hi lovelies
I’ve been wanting to do another spread in my lyric journal for ages. It’s a therapeutic process (usually) and I enjoy it so much.
This one is Taylor Swift’s Down Bad, using ‪@ferriswheelpress3796‬ Leadcast Letters ink and their Billowing Blush Carousel fountain pen.
The book is Midori paper inside the Hobonichi Hollyhocks cover, all in the A6 size. In this video, I discover that the Midori paper is not great for all fountain pens so I think I will switch to Hobonichi notebook next time.

I definitely believe the ink wasn’t all dry and was wet enough so when u wrote on the page behind it, the pen and ink did not feel the same, nor look like you wanted it too.

[@desleyjaneplans]

Thank you, you’re right, it was still too wet.

😅I was a vinyl girl...so it was Duran Duran's many top hits and Spandau Ballet's - Gold. Used to belt it out at the top of my lungs in our lounge room🫣😁. Cassettes, when I was lucky enough to have a portable "walkman", Born in the USA was cranking and Tears for Fears.

Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet - too cool!! Love it. I only had a couple of vinyls. I had a lot of cassettes - so much music over the years ❤️

I love this idea, I would love to hear a snippet of the lyric as you’re filming these or hear about a particular line that resonates! (Without getting too personal!) Really happy that you will be adding other artists. Can’t wait for the next one. ❤❤❤

[@desleyjaneplans]

There are some explicit lyrics in this one 😳 but that’s a good idea 💕❤️💕

[@teaforthesoul]

The first song I actively learned as a kid was Mysterious Girl by Peter Andre 💀 Including the rap section

[@desleyjaneplans]

Ha! I love that 🤓😻

[@mmtpleasant]

This is a great idea. I LOVE the velvet ballet! ❤ My hand also cramps up when I write for too long, like I need a thicker pen. I had some mental health issues and got away from my planners.

[@desleyjaneplans]

Oh I’m sorry to hear that 💕 I find I grip the pen a little hard which causes the cramping. I agree - a thicker pen helps. I hope you’re feeling ok. 🩷

I think your writing is beautiful! It has lots of personality with lots of curls and flair.

[@desleyjaneplans]

Oh thanks so much. I like it a lot but I know it’s pretty messy, I can’t seem to slow it down when I write. 💕

[@donnad5986]

I love Midori paper however it is a little toothy compared to Tomoe River Paper

[@desleyjaneplans]

It is. But they both have their place 😊

What does the water help with?

[@desleyjaneplans]

I just wanted to dilute it a little to help see the shading better.
