Distress Oxide Ink

Distress Oxide Ink

In this episode I am talking about a new way of using ink in my Bullet Journal using Distress Oxide. Tim Holtz Distress® Oxide® Ink Pads are water-reactive dye & pigment ink fusion that creates an oxidized effect when sprayed with water. Use with stamps, stencils, and direct to surface. Blend using Ink Blending Tools and Foam. You can do so much and they are super fun to use.

Fountain Pens

Fountain Pens

In this episode of the Hobbyist Hangout, I am talking about the mighty fountain pen. I was very intimidated by fountain pens in the beginning, but over time I have learned how great they really are. That appreciation has turned into more of a hobby now, with a growing collection of pens and inks. In this episode, we will be talking about my first fountain pen, and great starter pens, including dip pens, and even chat about some of my favorite inks.
