Elemental Paper "Oxygen" Notebook Review

This is a bit of a throwback review. When I first started the blog, the handwritten portion of the review was key. I wanted to be sure to show the ink and paper in action. For my Elemental Paper review, I wanted to direct my focus on ink and paper because there have been issues with some of the notebooks.

I had no issues using my wettest fountain pens on the page. No bleed, feathering, or ghosting to speak of. Kelli had the exact opposite experience. I can only review the product I have in hand, and mine is great. If I had Kelli's, it would be terrible - at least for fountain pens.

I linked to the original full-sized images above so you can get an up close look if you are interested. Pictures are worth 1000 words in this case.

(Disclosure: This notebook was my backer reward from the Kickstarter project, which I paid full price for.)
