  • May you find peace and focus today. I really enjoyed making this journal for someone special. Chiyogami paper (featured on the front cover) is my favourite paper to work with.

    • @bittermelonbindery
      @bittermelonbindery  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That's a fun endeavour! I have only used tombow markers on the paper and there is no ghosting or bleeding. Not sure about other brands. Mohawk superfine paper is the brand I use currently and it holds fountain pens quite well too.
