The Dragon's Hoard: Stationery, Art Supplies, Craft tools, and other items that make you go "Ooooh."

So, as some friends may tell you, I have a deep love of art supplies and stationery. Do I use all of it? No. Do I hoard it like a dragon, saving it for just the right time? Yes. Do I pine for pieces I probably have no use for because I love their aesthetic appeal?

HELL YES. coughbulletjournalingcough

Sometimes the project journey isn't the only highlight. Sometimes you get hold of something and just go "Oooooh" at it. Sometimes there's something shiny on a shelf you shouldn't buy, can't afford, but will ogle for as long as socially acceptable any time you're in the vicinity like a happy chimp getting enrichment and let it languish in your online order basket for months on end in the hopes that someday, Someday, the shiny will be yours. That's what this place is for.

This is the place to blather about those supplies you hold so dear to your heart! Got a note taking technique that uses special pens that make your heart flutter? GO OFF ABOUT IT. Find that sexy new knitting supply that's almost too special to actually use? HELL YEAH. New leather punch? New socket wrench? New wax blend? New gizmo that you're not even sure what it does but it's sexy and it's YOURS? FUCK YEAH MAN SHOW THE CLASS.

 

For instance: most of the items at Stationery Pal are not only really affordable but Very Useful and I am going to invest in some when I can.

Like this lovely bitch
Tombow MONO Graph Mechanical Pencil Limited-Edition - Smoky Mint - 0.5 mm
I love using .5's for drawing, and writing they make me happy, and Tombow is an excellent brand with a good rep and
it's
pretty color
I bet it'd be a smooth write, Hnghh.

 

Yes hello I have a love of stationary and I recently got some Pilot frixion pens and also a highlighter and I am completely obsessed with them. I have waited my entire life for a pen that can erase well ;u; Sadly if you use the highlighter over the pen the ink does move around a little, but worth it!!

 

ill contribute later but all i can say for now is just, fucking mood

 

BEHOLD, my favorite pen for writing! It's a Sakura Pigma Micron PN--the tip is plastic, and it writes soooooo smoothly. (I have one in black too, but obviously the purble one is my fave.)

EDIT: ALSO I just bought a couple of those pencils @TheMockingCrows *u* I got a purble one and a pink one, I've been needing a good mechanical pencil or two so thank you for the link!!

 

lmao i broke down and ordered the pencil too haha. i put in an order for several things including their cute ass corduroy tote? I'll post pics when it arrives. As well as when my aliexpress order arrives eventually. :D

 

Lately I've been stalking a lot of studyblr and studygram accounts for their really nice setups, everything they do seems to be so pretty?
it's also led to some major stationery envy im ngl
especially the ones that use stamps
it led to a half hour long discussion about what kind of stamps my friend should get for her farm xD

Do any of you have a favorite studyblr or studygram account? (I also use Study With Me's on youtube during schooltime, to help focus, but that's less focusing on the aesthetics and more focusing on the sounds)

 

i do really like studyign's accounts (yes spelled that way lol), i have a few more that i can check on my phone after work though

 

these are so cool!! I already have highlighters coming so i didn't invest in them but DANG window highlighters are neat!

 

this is the kind I've got coming right now. the soft colors really sold me on it.

 

If you're feeling the kawaii side of things and want to get your mitts on cute stationery there's also always https://www.modes4u.com/en/
They've got a ton of cool shit, including a TON of adorable memo pads at a good price. c:

 

Omg I need to shop there everything is so cute

 

just gotta say it: washi tape

 

on that note this is animal crossing washi someone designed. it's too expensive for my blood, but it's definitely adorable. c:

 

Ohhhhh those letter sets...penpal funtimes...*saves for later*

 

I love black pens that write smoothly, it fucks me up when the ink shutters out for an instant and I have to draw over the letter to make it show up properly and you can tell it's been redone and IT UPSETS. ME. I haven't written in a while because I've had a lack of good pens

 

I've been using pencil but graphite isn't the SAME and it smudges and it isn't as bold and I dislike it

 

this is unrelated to stationery but i wanted to tell you @bornofthesea670 your user pic fills me with glee.

 

nael twiddling his thumbs waiting for a $50 fancy sticker order from aliexpress to hit the states

 

oh that is such a fucking mood and Same Hat tbh, i hope we get to see the shinies when they turn up finally from delivery hell
