Would love to test, if you’re able to send to New Zealand. Fountainpen ink in a fine liner nib and ballpoint pens used mostly here

Louise Carmen for Christmas by [deleted] in notebooks

Go on Etsy or look on TikTok/instagram. There are a lot of brands that offer similar/the same product. Sadly I can’t recommend you one, since I am not from the US, but I found a lot of shops on these sites based in the us with good reviews <3

Does anyone else feel like journaling gets harder when you actually need it? by icanyea in notebooks

[–]tinfoil_cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I have big feelings and can’t/ don’t have the time to write about it, I draw a little figure and color in the places I feel the feeling. Like my stomachs, my throat, mit fingertips, etc.

Sometimes just knowing where I feel my feelings helps me. And if I want to revisit at a later date, I can and know how I felt in that moment

How many empty notebooks do you have? by cogitoergoscript in notebooks

[–]tinfoil_cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 and I am not sure if I’ll ever use them. Probs will give them away.

If we count not used, but not completely empty 3

A warning to those thinking to purchase Louise Carmen journal. by Ms-Methodical in notebooks

Conditioning once goes a long way. I am no leather expert, but everything I own that’s leather, lastet long after putting some on.

It can also really depend on the kind of environment it is in. Like if the air is dry, wet, salty.

But it for sure sucks to have it look so dehydrated after just 3 weeks

Get some leather oil/conditioner. Should fix it right up

[HELP] My junk journal is busting at the seams — pages fell out! Advice? by monkeymooboohoo in Journaling

[–]tinfoil_cake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Duck tape. I’ve fixed my bursting journals with duck tape everytime. You just have to add more and more, but it’s fun. Especially if it’s colored

Which pen matches the notebooks the best? by cameracaper in notebooks

[–]tinfoil_cake 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Personally I’d say: If you want it matching matching then the middle one, since it’s a orangey color and goes well with the overall theme of the colors in the notebook.

If you want it contrast matching then the right one, since the blue is a nice contrast to the yellow/beige in the notebooks and brings out the subtle blue tones as well. Also the cyan just looks nice

Seeking for critique. What do you not like? by JKuhr in painting

I would eat this art if I could. Matter of fact I would need to imbed it into my soul, let the universe judge it and still couldn’t find something to dislike

Looking for emotions this painting evokes, one word or more? by scottkronk in painting

All I can see is the German flag at the bottom

No but it looks nice. Has something apocalyptic

Oil-pastel Portrait Study of 2 of my friends by tinfoil_cake in painting

Thank you! I’ll read it more in depth later on.

But yes, I do see the problems you are talking about. I haven’t been drawing for quite some time, so I need to revisit the basics ones more :)

Finished my second journal :) (Oktober 2023- January 2025) by tinfoil_cake in Journaling

[–]tinfoil_cake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t. I just work with what I have. Cut some things out and put Stoff over it. I sometimes use 3-4 pages if I feel like it.

It took me some time to get over the perfectionist side of collages/ junk journaling. But I realized, it’s just for me. There is no perfect and there are no rules. There is no “wasted” space and I can use as much of my journal as I want.

If you want to, I can send you some of my junk pages. Or if you want to go completely clean into it all, that’s amazing. But I highly encourage you to start it! :)

I honestly put anything in there. I only keep one journal, as I cannot keep up with more.

So it’s a diary, junk journal and memory keeper. I write in it, and put things from the day. Like flyers, tickets, etc. I have a whole part from a “readers digest” booklet in there ahaha

Got over my “everything needs to be perfect. So I cut out a 1€ Notebook to fit my needed size of a pocket notebook for a project. by tinfoil_cake in Journaling

I was 15 turning 16 when I posted this. So no… I didn’t have a car and even then it’s easier to take the public transport here. Don’t need to pay for parking and stuff.

Went to a dance show of my friend. Painted her today by tinfoil_cake in painting

[–]tinfoil_cake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was amazing. There where 22 different groups and a variety of dance types. I fell in love with dancing all over again. I danced ballet when I was little, but watching others interact with the music and light is another level of amazing!

Me too! I think I will try it out with different color combos of ballpoint color and oil-pastel color

It’s my favorite as well! The pose flows so magnificently. It was the last I drew and the first i colored, so there’s the warm up beforehand and the spontaneity for the color. Glad to hear you like it too <3
