I’m trying to do more custom stationery in my little monthly pop up. To that end I am designing some greeting cards, starting with these dog and cat birthday designs. #Art #Handmade #LinoCut #HappyBirthday

Saw this idea, to carve little stamps from pink erasers, and promptly became completely enamored. This is so much fun! #handmade #Art #LinoCut

#ScribesAndMakers Feb15: Tell us about yourself.

Hi! I’m Lucia 👋 My website is http://www.luciagreen.com

I write, my genre of choice being a sort of cozy horror. My books can be found most everywhere you buy ebooks.

I sew, crochet, needle felt and embroider.

I paint with watercolor and acrylic and do oil pastels. I also do linocuts.

I build miniatures, preferring to work in 1:12 scale.

I bake and cook, raise chickens and have dogs, cats and kids.

February 5th and I've written the 5th letter in a row. I'm really enjoying this letter writing challenge!

I have room for some more addresses this month. I'm writing one letter every day, and I self imposed that I want to write to 28 unique people.

Would you like a letter in the mail? Written with a fountain pen on pretty paper? Probably with a wax seal on it? No obligation to write me back. If so, send me your mailing address!

I know I’m not the only person who likes to match ink to pen. When I got this Laban 325 last month I replaced the nib with a 1.5 Stub and then wanted to put some shimmer ink in there. My modest ink collection only had one shimmer ink, Diamine Arctic Blue. It did not match the pen! After some research I ordered a bottle of Vinta Burnt Sugar. It is the perfect warm brown with shimmery gold that I wanted in this pen. #FountainPen

2025-01-30T17:19:07+01:00

I really like this Conklin All America, the weight of it is so pleasant in my hand and the wood is beautiful. But everytime I go to use it the nib is caked with dried ink. I’ve tried storing it nib up but it still happens. Once I get it clean it wires just fine, but it’s aggravating. Anybody had this issue? Is there a fix?

2025-01-23T17:13:24+01:00

This year I’m using stickers to decorate my journal and it’s a lot of fun. I’m flipping through my sticker book and I use whatever random page I land on. It leads to pages like today which are not really my style, but fun to do. It is also very low pressure and fun.

Then of course I have to pick an ink that matches the layout. Today I’ll use FWP Nebulous Blue, which of course is in the Esterbrook Nebulous Plume.

I started a new solo journaling RPG called “Sweaters by Hedgehog”. It’s exactly the cozy, low stakes thing I need to have on hand when I want to relax.

Today a Bat P.I. named Sheryl came into my shop, looking for a no frills sweater to keep her warm on stakeouts. I suggested stripes in brown, black and grey to help her blend in.

Book 5 of 2025 is First Do No Charm by Joan Grey (npub17w0…hzxt) Joan Grey. It’s so much fun, and so refreshing, to read about a main character in her 40’s. And she’s not a hot mess with a demon child, she doesn’t hate her parents. I’m so glad I picked it up.

#WritersCoffeeClub Dec 6: Sentence fragments?

Oooo yeah I’m a fan of a good, well placed sentence fragment. I’m of the “rules were made to be broken” school of grammar. I believe that knowing when to do things “wrong” for impact is one of the ways you flavor you writing. Knowing when though, that’s the key. There’s a fine line between spicy and incompetent.

I’ve got some ornaments that need a home. I’m going in a different direction with seasonal decorating. Anyway these are decoupaged with pages from old medical textbooks. Anyone need these? Feel free to boost to find them a home. #Christmas #Handmade

I haven’t written letters in way too long. I found, of course, the longer I waited the more pressure there was. It’s been months, this better be an epic letter!

So today I sat down, wrote a short note saying hello and let’s get back to corresponding. I put a wax seal on it and some cool stickers and even the stamp matched the stationary. It felt so good. Hopefully I can get caught up with all the pen pals I’ve neglected.

Atlas Stationers was having a big sale and I just published a book and had a successful book signing event so I deserve a little reward right? Any excuse to buy a new pen 😁 I picked up this FWP pen from the door buster section of the sale. It so pretty and unique in my collection. #FountainPen

I did a lot of thinking on which pens to take to sign books with.

I wanted a stub nib, because I love writing with them.

I didn’t want to take one of the higher priced pens. Better safe than sorry.

Decided, finally on the Conklin with Diamine’s Chocolate Brown and the Lamy with Papier Plume’s Sazerac. #FountainPen #WritingCommunity
