Hello everybody! I am back this time with an update to my inked fountain pen and now also washi tape tracker. After downsizing my washi tape collection and my fountain pen collection I wanted to have a place where I can check exactly what I am using so here is the breakdown.
I found this super adorable Milkjoy personal-sized binder at my local Kinokuniya and filled it with tomoe river paper from PaperPenguinCo on Etsy. I was using a Ro-Biki notebook to track my inked pens but the paper handles most fountain pen ink very poorly, which is why I switched to paper I know will handle most inks. I am still using the same format which I will have a breakdown here:
Pen Brand and Color
Nib Size
Ink Brand and Color
Date Pen is Inked
Once the pen is out of ink and cleaned I check it off so that I know it was cleaned after the last time I inked it.
I love tracking my pens because it helps me realize how long it takes me to use them. For example, it takes me about six weeks to empty my Pelikan M200 when I only use it with my Hobonichi weeks!
Now for washi tape, I restrict myself to mostly what fits in my small little box which I got after buying macarons from Laduree. My all-time favorite tapes are the ones with camellias which I will buy more of once I use them up which is why I save them on this laminated card I made using a cute Hello Kitty paper. All the other tapes are seen here on this laminated picture so if I ever want another washi tape I have to pick one to use up or get rid of somehow. All of my washi tapes are camellia tapes and tapes from my favorite artists.
Possibly starting next year I will add another section that highlights all the ink bottles I have so I can finally control my ink swamp. It will also help anybody that wants ink samples from me as I am happy to provide samples of anything I own a bottle of and is not a rare and limited edition ink.
Thank you everybody for reading! I hope to catch up on posts during these few holidays coming up. Until next time, stay hyped!
