Very happy to now own this beautiful etching by Chesca Potter, inspired by cave art in Font-de-Gaume cave, France. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it!

A couple of Shibui North Pocket foxes. I love these pens! The patina on the copper is really nice. #fountainpens

The original, non-gendered Lovers card from the Greenwood Tarot that was refused by the publisher. This could be bought directly from Chesca Potter, and there are at least four versions as she appears to have changed her mind about elements in the art.

New fountain pens this week! A Kaweco Collection Iguana Blue, wanted a metal pen to carry around with my lovely @elrohirleather.bsky.social passport sized travellers notebook. Also a Hongdian Year of the Snake - I was born in a snake year and was excited to get a snake pen.

The very lovely Hongdian A7 stabilised wood pen in green with a medium nib and Dominant Industry Autumn Forest ink. It is a shimmer ink, so I've provided a close of some text that shows the shimmer well. #fountainpen

Swapping my work pens over to a Opus88 demonstrator with Majohn Yunshan ink and a Parker IM with Diamine Syrah. Both are fine nibs. Not the best photo! #fountainpen

While reading about the horned god in Pagan Celtic Britain by Anne Ross I thought I'd have a closer look at the cards with horned beings, and saw this on the published Lovers card, the red and white polarities joining. #tarot #tarotsky

The 8 of Cups from the #GreenwoodTarot by #ChescaPotter and #MarkRyan I've been looking at alchemical imagery in the Greenwood Tarot, and apart from the original Lovers and Balance/Temperance (both based on the Thoth cards), this seems the most obvious example. #tarot #tarotsky #alchemy
