happy inks

…are a rather cheap and easy way to lighten and brighten up the spirits when the darkness feels a little bit too much…or just to enhance the happiness…or because it is fun with bright, playful inks.

Here are some of my current cheerers! Mostly Diamine, so I would like to add that I don’t have any affiliation with Diamine. They just happen to produce inks that I like in small convenient plastic bottles which – even with shipping from the UK to almost anywhere in the world taken into account –  are cheap, comes in something like 60 colours and are of high standard.  Me like. Another pleasant feature if you order straight from their website is that – ordering 3 or more small plastic bottles – that you get a pack  of 18 assorted cartridges for free. That was what made me realize how many beautiful, strange, fun and gorgeous inks out there, that are just waiting to be used.

sleeping garden

There is something very peaceful about being in a garden in the autumn and winter. Like watching someone who is  fast asleep. Relaxing and relieving. Nothing to be done; just let the sleep and rest do its job.

A sort of modern wind vane.  It was quite windy and cool, so it was a bit hard to capture – it was spinning rather constantly. A cup of coffee in the cool air out doors. Cold cheeks, hands freezing – and in a very good mood. The clouds were moving fast, so the light changed dramatically during the short hour I was there. Quite dramatic contrasts.
