Van Dieman's Tiger Snake / Pensive Pens Stratos ~ Day 21 of

No drinks, just inks 😉

🏳‍🌈 Also, Happy Pride Month!! 🏳‍🌈

I'm not sure what color this ink really is; sometimes it looks green, sometimes this Van Dieman's Tiger Snake is a sort of yellow-brown, one of those funky-kinds of colors that isn't really yellow nor brown; I'll coin a word here and call it scugly. I like pairing Australian inks with my Australian hand-turned pens, and this is one of those permanent pairings; dare I say it: I'm not one who always or even usually matches ink to pens, but I like the way these two look together.

Yes, that is thunder you are hearing in the background, especially at 5:09. We have mid-high 90s this week with feels like temps in the low 100s. Heatwave plus thunderstorms equals UGH!!

Note, my vlogs are not sponsored by anyone / any company: I just like to use Yoseka bags to keep hand oils off the notebook pages when writing ~ if possible. Also, I like the crinkle sound they make.

As always, thank you VERY much for spending some of your time with me: I really appreciate it!
