Currently Inked April: Spring Fountain Pen & Ink Pairings + Zentangle Tutorial

Welcome to a new month of fountain pen ink pairings and analog creativity. In this video, I am diving into a fresh spring color palette and setting up my Currently Inked pages in my Hobonichi Cousin. We explore a mix of limited edition pens, personal favorites from my recent March Madness tournament, and exciting ink combinations featuring Diamine Inkvent and custom shimmer mixes. I also walk you through a step-by-step tutorial of the "Majestic" Zentangle pattern by Jane Roberts—a perfect mindfulness exercise for your journaling routine. Whether you are a fountain pen enthusiast or looking for new ways to use your stationery, there is something here for every paper lover.
