Updates: Pens, Journals and Sellable Wares

[@adria4791]

Never thought my two “pleasures” could collide. Thanks Howard for sending me here.

[@cherieweinstein]

I love fountain pens too and I too found you via today's Howard Stern show on SiriusXM!

[@BobHancy]

There she is! I've been anxiously awaiting another video! 🤠 I love the pen choices for your road trip. I do the same thing, but I take them all...as I travel in my motorhome full time. 😎 I love the collages Alicia, so creative and inspiring. 😊Thank you for the video!

[@adventuredenali]

Thank you so much! I feel welcomed! Ahhh, motor home life! Sounds dreamy. How long have you been full time?

[@BobHancy]

@@adventuredenali It's going on two years now. I mostly travel from Texas to California with my two dogs. I spent several weeks in Tucson, Mesa, Las Cruces and Sierra Vista before Covid - I totally understand why you love it there and you inspire me to explore even more! :-)

I just discovered you and been binging your videos ever since. Let me tell you this. Your SMILE is CONTAGIOUS. I love them. Keep smiling yeah. And laughing, and journaling and showing us your pens collection. I hope you doing well. Xoxo from Malaysia, Aug 13, 2021.

[@LolaMoretto]

Love the consistency of the size and covers. I don’t know what it is that makes looking at a stack of finished journal so enjoyable, but these make me want to try pocket size. 😱🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

[@Luudite]

You know, I feel the same way. But, I've made a promise to myself not to buy any more journals until I work through a few that I have. I'm making decent progress, but it might still be a while before I get to try out these little pocket size wonders :)

[@LolaMoretto]

Luudite oh same!! I’m finishing all my notebooks and I already have a daily rotation that is a little excessive.

[@adventuredenali]

Lola! Thank you! I’ve really enjoyed this size, and I too really enjoy looking at the stack grow and the consistency of them. It’s kind of like a physical representation of this new period in my life. And sometimes I feel when I’m most restless and unsatisfied in my personal life, I tend to hop around a lot between varying journal sizes, like Goldilocks never quite satisfied with the journal.

[@adventuredenali]

Luudite that’s always a good idea! Best of luck to you finishing up those unused journal babies! The pocket size has been a lot of fun. Hope you get to try them out, soonish. ;)

[@hidilley]

I have my first pocket-sized Leuchturm waiting in the wings for when I finish my current A5 journal, I have been so inspired by these videos of these little cuties! Maybe one day I'll have a lovely stack to admire, too... :)

I have recently discovered your channel and have never commented before, but you have completely inspired me to try a pocket-sized Leuchturm for my next journal...I may even try collaging some of my photos in there somehow. Thanks for sharing your love of pens, paper, ink, music and life with the rest of us! I've found my journaling has increased tenfold during this pandemic, so it's nice to see what other journalers are enjoying out there! I hope you have a great time on your road trip, sounds like a wonderful adventure! Will await word on how to get my mits on one of your gorgeous pen pouches!

[@adventuredenali]

heidiology Hello and welcome and thank you for saying hello! The pocket size has been really fun! In the past I’ve felt a bit claustrophobic in them, but for whatever reason, they’ve been sticking this time around. I hope you enjoy your pocket as much! Seeing little stacks of pockets grow is very satisfying, haha.

[@joymusterer]

Your completed stash of pocket journals is awesome! I have the same pen case in the crazy horse blue and love it. Happy, safe travels to you and your partner! Hope you'll share some of your adventures here. :)

[@audreycaldeira-hankey2951]

@@adventuredenali That is so true. Many thanks. I look forward to seeing which pen makes it to the final slot in your pen case for the trip. It must be quite a decision given all the lovely pens in your collection!

[@ianatthebar]

Just heard about you on Howard Stern!

[@treemerryweather]

I really enjoyed this video and, as is often the case i feel i need a new journal size. I'm in Leuchtturm A4 and A5 and now i feel A6 is something i should experience. I have one fountain pen in matte black and valiantly resisted purchasing one in matte grey and matte white...cause grey scale. Your Darcy is lovely. and I can't wait to see your felt pen cases when you offer them. I truly love thick, wool felt. Have a great trip!!!

[@arlenealennox3136]

I love packing and getting ready for a trip, too. Check out the Opus 88 models of fountain pen. I discovered them last year just before a trip to Spain. They hold a lot of ink because are eye-droppered but have a shut-off stopper to make them safe for flying. I’m going to take a look at that Galen case; it looks really nice. That would be good for a road trip. I love my SCOTTeVEST travel vest because it has an inside pen pocket on each side which can hold 4 pens in all. The vest is my purse so I am hands free. Other pens are in my sketch kit. For journal I just have a pocket-size Rhodia notebook. However, not going anywhere until next year when and if the plague is past! Enjoy your trip and take us along vicariously.

[@hidilley]

I've always wondered about those vests and have thought about using one for urban sketching...such a great idea!

[@TheFribos]

Opus 88, exactly what I wanted to add. Check out the Koloro Demonstrator, it holds liters of ink. And has big, smooth, affordable nibs. Have you ever looked into the Van der Spek pencases? They are really high quality

[@tattooedcat]

Crafting and writing supplies really should be the first consideration when planning for a trip. 😹 Everything else will fall into place. Best wishes for an amazing trip and I look forward to hearing more about your decisions for pens and inks. I love the colors you’ve chosen for your journal lineup, they are so summery. Your collage is looking stellar. I love that you’re creating a whole mood with the covers, and the many layers are so well done. I love how it turns out looking like one cohesive piece. There is real skill in that, and they look beautiful. I love your pouches and am glad you have found something you enjoy making and using. I’m excited to try and get a hold of one when you decide to sell. The wool felt is an awesome natural material and it looks great with your leather covers and cases. Thank you so much for sharing! 🧡🖋

[@adventuredenali]

tattooedcat exactly! Everything else will fall into place. :) Thank you for the well wishes! I’m still waffling in which pens to take and if I want to fill up some traveling inkwells or not, haha.

[@sharonbennett2953]

Oh Wow!! I love your journals! Your collage is wonderful! I also love the pen pouches. The y are so cool because of the flap being so long! That is also wonderful. Can't wait to hear when you will be selling them. I have to have one!! Have a fab time on your road trip!! Thanx for sharing.

[@adventuredenali]

Sharon Bennett thank you! I’ll definitely post something here (and on Instagram) when I’m ready to open up shop. I have no clue when that would be, but sometime this summer, haha.

[@BobHutchins]

Lowe’s sells small building kits for kids. Those kits come with a small (but fully functional) hammer. I don’t know if it will be heavy enough for the snaps, but it does give you a place to begin your search. Also, I bet some hobby shops have selections of small hammers too. Anyway, great video, thanks for sharing.

[@genelo6890]

HI Alicia, Your are so talented. As for the felt pen pouches, I would suggest maybe just leave the flap off (like the Charles Dee leather 2 pen holders) and make the width of the slots just wide enough for the average pen. Besides , the clipped fountain pens can just clip onto the pen holder without falling out. As for ways to secure the flap of the pen case /holder, your could use extra small magnets if you can find them and sew them into the felt ( extra work and not sure if it is cost effective when you set a price to the case when you decide to sell them) or velcro ( cost effective if you can get them wholesale price instead retail ). If felt material is expensive, what if you use some kind of stretchy fabric or material that is able to stretch but not shrink if it gets washed or wet as you put the pen into the case . As for pricing , you could the sell price at maybe twice , three times or more the your cost of material and time to make the pen cases. So if it cost you $$ 5 dollars to make , you could price the pen cases for maybe $$ 10 to $$15 when you do decide to sell them somewhere ETSY, EBAY, MERCARI etc. It is great that you turn off your phone and step back with nature and turned off your phone most of your camping trip. It is just sad that some people would be on social media posting pictures on vacation /a trip think that it is what their friends want to know about their lives. It just seems like the people that do are not really enjoying that in the moment time of their trip and vacation ..

[@andrewtongue7084]

Clearly, you are exceptionally talented, Alicia; in retrospect, I do hope the road trip was enjoyable. Obviously, at the time of writing this, we will have been under more measured constraints, globally, & as such, your inclusions within those (future) journals will perhaps, have a different tone. Your p, en selection for the journey, is ideal - & I don't imagine you ran dry in terms of ink supply. Thank you for sharing your considerations. Trusting that you (both) remain fine & well, Andrew :)

For tiny hammers, look for shoemaker hammers or leather work hammers; I know that there are small models for delicate work. There are also very small mallets, made of brass, for watchmakers and gunsmiths, but i don't know if it has enough mass to crimp the snaps. Thanks for the video.

Which, is really crazy considering the new sports have such a smaller carrying capacity for ink! What gives Kaweco??

[@ad6449]

AdventureDenali Have you ever tried eyedroppering the Kawaco Sports? Not the brass one, of course, but the plastic bodied Sports? They hold an amazing amount of ink and are great for travel. I have and eyedroppered Preppy that is just ink for weeks ....

Anybody knows what was the black pencil case with 10 pen loops?

[@adventuredenali]

That’s a Galen Leather 10-slot zipper pouch. www.galenleather.com/

Check out RioGrand. They have jeweler tools. You can find a good hammer there.

Where can one buy a pen case?

[@adventuredenali]

Michelle Cagler Galen or mine? Galenleather.com If you were referring to mine, I’ll be creating an Etsy shop when the time comes. Still have some prepping to do. Will definitely announce the opening here and on Instagram. :)

Has your journal ever been wet and ruin some of your beautiful fountain pen handwriting and stories? Cuz sometimes I feel like I'm afraid that if I write this special thought with a fountain pen ink, someday eventually water will ruin my words!!

Are you going to make the trip in the middle of the pandemic?

[@adventuredenali]

economíamatemática yes, that is correct. We will be camping out the entire time, avoiding cities and people mostly.

[@27122712ful]

@@adventuredenali Awesome!!! I think is a great idea. Also, I love your Pelikan line up. Next month I am going to buy my first Pelikan M400, I am not prepare for the big guy!! I am curious of the Kaweco vintage that you presented in this video, it seems to me that it is the first time that you mention it. Is that correct?
