Welcome to Morning Ink, where I share my daily fountain pen drawing and whatever thoughts (sometimes none, mostly reasonably short, occasionally long and very rambling) jump out and onto the screen. If you don’t want daily emails you can toggle them off by going to Manage subscription – just turn Morning Ink off, no need to fully unsubscribe!1
I have switched to the A6 sketchbook, having finished my sixth A5 one. The idea being that I can be quicker with this Mornjng Ink. Because, fulfilling and calming and beautiful though the practice is, I need to start fitting a bit more into these early mornings. Exercise of some kind in particular.
So I will try A6 out for just over a month (there are 32 pages in these ones, as opposed to the 40 in the A6 ones) and see how it feels. I already feel that it’s ‘wrong’. But hopefully that will change over the next week or so!
Big day yesterday, which was exhausting, but good. And another fairly big day today, so I will need to get my Sofa Snippets done quickly this morning.
Thanks so much for being here. Your presence on its own is a joy, but I love to hear from you, too, so please do feel free to leave a comment. About something that has resonated for you in today’s picture or in today’s words. Or about something completely unrelated. Tell me about your morning, your creative practice, your particular work or life juggling act. Anything. If you want to go even further you can take out a paid subscription – if you’re happy to give me your postal address I'll send you some art of some kind in the post.
And if you don’t like subscriptions (I totally get it!) you can ‘tip me’ instead. But really, your presence and comments are the best rewards – if they could be exchanged for food and electricity, I’d be so very happy.
