    I have the kaweco brass (it's very pretty) and keep it for occasional sketching in my tote. It's quite heavy and I can't imagine wrting a lot with it. For writing, I would recommend the Travelers brass fountain pen.

    • @MaikeOatley
      @MaikeOatley 6 днів тому

      Thank you for sharing! Yeah I wish I could try it out somewhere to get a better feel for it. Cause even if I seem to prefer a bit of weight to my pens, I can see how there is such a thing as too much weight, LOL.

  • @kayjay9516
    @kayjay9516 15 днів тому

    I’m a huge reader so anything with books or reading is perfect. In summer I’m to be found in front of a fan as I am not a lover of hot weather! What book was it you showed that you’d put your typewriter kitty on please? Maybe a cat reading her Kindle would be good, as that’s what I use most of the time. I love books - the smell, the feel - but my Kindle is the one technology I couldn’t live without. I read so many books on Kindle Unlimited and I love how I can adjust the backlight to read in the dark, or make the text bigger for my older eyes.

    • @MaikeOatley
      @MaikeOatley 15 днів тому

      I’m so glad you like all the reading cats! And I’ll definitely draw one with a kindle ☺️ I prefer physical books too (except when I’m moving 😬). But Kindle and eBooks are quite convenient from time to time. That notebook is a Hobonichi Grid notebook in A5. I covered the yellow cardstock that they use for the cover with some off-white paper I had.

    Hi!😊 These are so cute! I don’t know if you ever watched “Murder, She Wrote” but the kitty at the type writer just made me think “if J.B. Fletcher was a cat!” And it made my heart really happy to imagine that lol Thank you so much!!❤

    I have been drawing events from my days in a sketchbook these last few weeks..i just drew a scene last night from a few weeks ago, of being on the highway heading to the ranch and we were behind heavy traffic and there was this truck in front of us that had a cow drawn on the rear doors! So I took a photo and then last nightcI drew it. It was also the first day that our usual exit was closed. I have also drawn my yoga mat in the park too..

      That sounds like a wonderful way to document your days! Depending on the context, I find that the drawings capture more of the memory than a photo could have. But taking a photo to be able to draw the scene later is so handy!

    I don’t normally comment but when you said you want to journal but don’t feel like when once you sit down to do it and that it is easier to watch people journal on UA-cam than it is to journal, I felt that deeply. I have recently been feeling the same way, I hope the spark comes back soon. Sending you positive thoughts for the upcoming move and that you have an amazing vacation in Seattle!

    I hope you find a way to keep the washi tape attached to your cookbook I think the pattern is very fitting. I really enjoyed your video. 👍 I totally relate to not feeling like journaling or drawing and just writing with pencil or using a small notebook. If your Minnie is metal(magnetic) you could try popping off the pin part and using a tiny, strong neodymium disc magnet back. I’m rather cautious when traveling with enamel or magnetic pins attached to my pouch, so I remove mine. I hope the move ends up a move for the better, and maybe a blessing in disguise.

    Love your new pink Delphonics pouch! I have cute pins on mine, but two of them actually broke off when I took the pouch with me, so you are right aboutbeing careful with what you put on your pouch. Those coffee stickers are really nice too!! As for hobby journals: I keep a journal in a regular TN with my miniature (doolshouse) project. Currently working on a Christmas Carol/Dickens street, so in my journal I collect referende pictures, pictures of the progress, some research notes and measurements. Useful and fun to later lookback on a completed project. Keep sharing your journaling and everything around it, you are really inspiring ❤... Good luck with finding a lovely new home!

    • @MaikeOatley
      @MaikeOatley Місяць тому

      Sí, se deshilacha un poco en ambos sentidos ya que los bordes no tienen dobladillo. Puedes aplicar un producto llamado "Fray Check" que es un poco como pegamento que ayuda a que las telas no se deshilachen.

    I really appreciate that you give us several different design aesthetics each month and that they build upon each other throughout the year 💖I enjoy both kitty styles, the lines are a little easier to cut out but I also appreciate the abstract nature of the second style, there's a bit of whimsy & charm about them 🙂I really love the purple color pallet featured on the second sheet & throughout the collection, something about it is perfect as we transition from spring into summer. The pansies are lovely, I'm looking forward to scattering them throughout my journal insert perhaps as date markers. Wishing you a month filled with flowers and lots of time outside in nature.

It's a lot of fun for me to explore all the different ways that one can draw cats, but I don't want that to make the collage sheets less enjoyable to you. And that's such a good idea to turn the pansies into date markers!

    These little meow meows are too cute! 😍 I love the soft colour palette that you used on the self care kitties and the pansies and note papers are beautiful! Personally, if I had to choose, I think the kitties without outlines appeal to me the most, they look so soft. Thank you for creating such sweet bundles of cuteness and sharing them Maike 💕

      Thank you so much Niki for your sweet comment and your feedback! I agree that the cats look softer without the outline. Wishing you a wonderful start into May!

    Hi Maike. I've been away for a while, but I had to subscribe to your cat collages this month. The astronaut cats are adorable, and I absolutely loved (well, everything) your trees!! Those trees were soo cute. And as a H Weeks and passport TN user, thank you so much for doing the minis:) Your artwork is so lovely, and I truly missed all of the cats. Love from Norway❤😸

    Maike, I would love to see you make some mini cat faces with different emotions! Like little reaction stickers. I think that would be so cute. I'm imagining cute floating cat heads with different expressions, maybe 5 or 6 copies of each expression?

      Oh yes that's a great idea! Noted and will probably be part of the June collection :)

    I loved that you shared your collage process Maike, they turned out beautifully 😊 I really appreciated that you included your thoughts and indecisions while doing it….you are very down to earth and I find your videos so warm and friendly. I like using Elmers or UHU glue sticks for collage in journals. Your sticker book is great! I’ve been thinking of making one myself but buying one seems like the easiest option! Can I ask where you found yours?

      Thank you so much for your kind words Niki! Yes I like UHU glue sticks too! Whenever I'm in Germany, I usually buy a couple and bring them back with me. The sticker book I have is from Amazon. I think I searched for "Reusable Sticker Book". The brand of mine is FZKADOO :D

      Thanks for the info about your sticker book Maike, I appreciate that ☺️ I have a real soft spot for UHU as it’s been around since I can remember so there’s childhood nostalgia associated with it! Plus, it smells so nice! Almost a floral, sweet fragrance. I have a mini 8 gram UHU that I pop in my travel supplies pouch, it’s very cute 🥰
