#filled notebooks

[cyrnelle]

Some pages from a recently filled notebook:

It's an A6 Kokuyo Campus notebook. I hesitate to call it a bullet journal — it's more of an excuse to use use my fountain pens and inks and washi tape and stickers than a productivity tool. The paper handles fountain pen inks pretty well; most inks I use in my medium nib TWSBI Eco don't bleed through. (I use the dalek postcard as a pencil board.)

A list of unread ebooks I keep at the back:

I made the cover myself. It's an early prototype; excuse the crooked stitching.

Another notebook filled up! Instead of worrying about the many empty notebooks I have, I'm keeping track of the ones I've used.

This one has notes from Qur'an translation/tafseer lessons. This is the Dreamday Pattern Journal; I have all the notebooks in the set.

Fountain pens used: Moonman M2, TWSBI Eco, Platinum Preppy, all of them with fine nibs. The mechanical pencil is a Pentel Sharplet-2 in 0.9 mm. (I make too many mistakes in Arabic to use a pen.)

I don't know the grammage of the paper, but it's thick enough that there's no ghosting when I use my fountain pens. It's rather absorbent, so ink properties like shading and sheen don't show up well on it.

There are patterns inside the book, which I mostly ignore. My handwriting in both the Latin and Arabic scripts isn't the greatest, but it's legible enough with some squinting.
