Pens and Things

Here are the last of the writing samples and descriptions for the Yamamoto Papers that we received in from Japan. You can find all of the Yamamoto Papers on the website here.

I have long been promising writing samples of these papers, and at last here I am with them. There are eleven types of paper that we got in from Yamamoto. All the papers can be found on the website here. I’m splitting them into three blog posts to help separate all the information a bit.

We recently got in some stationery-adjacent things, which are sometimes my favourite things to get in. We (I) spend a lot of time overanalyzing the specifics of which ink with which pen, or how I’m going to use which notebook for what, but sometimes it’s nice to have something entirely new to contemplate.

A new colour from J. Herbin! J. Herbin Vert Atlantide. Joining the sparkly line of Jacques Herbin, this is a green green, with both silver and green shimmer.

The colour is, of course, inspired by the dream realms of Atlantis, with both gold and silver shimmer as part of its magic and mystic. Whether or not Atlantis is a personal and meaningful connection for you, the actual ink itself is quite lovely.
