Flex Book Notebook Review : Playing with Fountain Pen Inks

What started out as a Flex Book Notebook review, ended in playing around with fountain pens inks! Spatters and the mixing of inks. All of which the Flex Book paper held up well to.
The Flex Book Notebooks are made in Greece, with the idea of being eco friendly and a joy to use. The covers flex all the way around for ease of use. The notebooks themselves are supposed to hold up under a decent amount of abuse. The paper quality is nice. It holds up well to fountain pen inks and pens. It doesn't have a luxury smooth feel but it in no way feels gritty. Lined paper tends to have a little more texture on average anyway. This Flex Book cover is made from recycled cactus! It is made to feel like leather, an honestly does feel like a bonded leather. I like the colors they come in. The earthy tones are a nice change up from my usual black.

I used Noodler's Ink, Dark Matter and Ferris Wheel Press, Festival Grove to test the paper and ended up having a bit of fun by mixing the inks! I loved the results and I am definitely going to put both of these in a fountain pen and try it out! It created this swampy green/black that when shoved around had intense variation. The gold shimmer added from the Festival Grove ink gave light to the depth in the ink. A fun experiment that I want to continue to play with!

I always want to get out my inks and have my own fun after watching these. 😃
I have Heart of Darkness. Is Dark Matter a deeper black?
