Gathering Your Supplies - Part 2 - Writing Supplies

 Merry Meet!

If you've been following along from the beginning, you know that I love stationery supplies of all kinds. When I started this project I went through the mountains of stationery supplies that I already had on hand. You can absolutely use what you have on hand, none of these supplies are required to get started with your common place grimoire. 

Mildliners by Zebra are the primary use of color within this project. They're very versatile and can be used as both highlighters and markers. I love them for this project because they add color and can be added to a page after it is written.

I have a tendency to color coordinate my supplies when I'm working on a big project like this and I definitely did that with the selection of Mildliners I chose for my commonplace grimoire.

You can see the sampling above that I've got a selection of twelve different colors that I'll be using in the books and I've named all of them. If you would like to use the same color palette, I've added a listing of the actual Mildliner colors as well as the sets they are found in.

Green Meadow - Mild Green - Cool & Refined Color Set

Marigold - Mild Gold - Warm Color Set

Bright Peach - Mild Orange - Fluorescent Color Set

Rosehip - Mild Red - Cool & Refined Color Set

Moonstone - Mild Gray - Cool & Refined Color Set*

London Fog - Mild Dark Gray - Friendly Color Set*

Lavender Bud - Mild Cool Gray - Neutral Color Set*

Champagne - Mild Cream - Neutral Color Set*

Sage Brush - Mild Olive - Neutral Color Set*

Weathered Bone - Mild Beige - Neutral Color Set*

Warm Chestnut - Mild Copper - Neutral Color Set*

Cocoa Powder - Mild Brown - Warm Color Set* 

I used the color identifier found at the Zebra website to list color names and sets, however, all of the colors marked with an asterisk (*) are part of the Neutral set that I recently purchased on Amazon so these colors can definitely be found in more than one set.

To purchase the vintage neutrals Mildliners set I have, visit this Amazon listing.

The bulk of the writing will be done with my Pilot Juice .38 pens (these are super fine lined and write so beautifully) and the Mildliners will be to color coordinate pages by theme/type (we'll get into that when we start on the table of contents/index). 

To purchase the Pilot Juice .38 in black, visit this Amazon listing.

I will add that while I was looking for an Amazon link for the pens Pilot Juice pens I discovered that they make the .38 in many different colors, including brown, which I think would be an absolutely lovely addition to this color palette. 

I'll also be adding color using these SARASA pens from Zebra. I purchased a two pack of pens from Amazon to get the colors shown above (but the packs included a few extra colors not shown).

If you would like to purchase the same two pack that I did, visit this Amazon listing.

Please remember that NONE of these supplies are vital to getting started, you literally need nothing more than a notebook and pen. The idea behind this project was not to create a large expense for anyone, but to share a system of recording information on the craft in an analog fashion.

Blessed Be,
Jen Marie
