Happy New Year, Stationery Squad and Inky Enthusiasts! We are kicking off the year with a fresh start in a brand-new ink journal (a Hobonichi Cousin conversion). In today’s video, I’m sharing my January fountain pen and ink combinations, featuring some very special collaborations, discontinued "unicorn" inks, and a relaxing Zentangle tutorial. Whether you are a seasoned collector or just falling down the fountain pen rabbit hole, there is plenty of inky inspiration here to start your year off right!
