I was actually very surprised that I haven't talked about this in a Friday Faves post before! It's my TWSBI Diamond 580 RG II Fountain Pen. (:

Based off the original TWSBI Diamond 580, the RG II features a beautiful black smoke cap and end with rose gold accents. When I first saw that TWSBI was going to launch this pen, I was pretty fixated on acquiring it at all costs.

I'm not sure if I was just feeling overwhelmed with the size of my stationery collection at the time, but I decided to hold off and not order one. I had even come to terms that I probably wouldn't get it, but some time later, my sister surprised me with it for my birthday back in November! Thank you Ate! :)

​With the help of my friend (thanks Danny), my sister brought this beautiful pen into my life and I'm shaking my head now thinking that I thought I could live without it. Haha! (:

​I did have the TWSBI Diamond 580 ALR in Purple with a broad nib, but it simply did not get as much love as this 580 RG II with an extra-fine nib. Perhaps it's the color or the nib size, but in any case, my RG II has been my everyday writer. 

I'm still learning how to best work with these in terms of layering, but so far they've been a lot of fun to play around with. This set of 7 extra-fine point markers were a gift from my parents, so mom and dad, thank you so much! (:

These paint markers feature 0.7mm wide tip making it easy to draw finer lines and do more detailed work. The Posca ink is a water-based, acid-free ink that is also waterproof.

The only other surface I've tried these markers on are on polaroids and the result was pretty phenomenal. You can see a bit of it in my Bullet Journal Set-up for 2021 video.  The markers are so opaque and the pastel colors really pop! I would definitely use these markers again on polaroids and look forward to trying them on other surfaces.

​As someone who doesn't really paint often, I find that these Posca Paint Markers are super easy to use. No cleaning up brushes and what not, just cap the markers until inspiration strikes again! (:

Today's Friday Fave is a special one! This BEAUTIFUL Disney x Montblanc Notebook was a gift from my parents. They have always enjoyed using Montblanc pens and my dad even gifted me one from his collection sometime last year. My mama LOVES Disney and both my parents know how much I enjoy stationery, so this notebook was an incredibly thoughtful gift. I will cherish it forever!

The perfect, jewel-tone blue Saffiano leather is a dream to hold! The notebook is filled with 192 (85gsm) gold-leafed, lined pages watermarked with the iconic Montblanc emblem. Some of the pages even feature a "scanimation" where you can use the provided plastic slider to reveal some fun Mickey Mouse animations. 

As you can see, I haven't really started writing in it with the exception of the quick pen test with my TWSBI Diamond 580 Fountain Pen with Lamy Black Ink in the back of the notebook. I thought maybe I had made a mistake in doing so...tarnishing this stunning journal, but I quickly shook that off. I'm going to use this notebook and enjoy it to the fullest. No use in worrying about making it "perfect". (:
