  1. CW: #inkvent swatch with spicy botanical doodle

    Nutmeg—Loved this grey-brown with gold shimmer. Paper is Mnemosyne and I used a glass dip pen andzebra G nib. I have nothing like this in my ink hoard. It’s like a cross between vinta gold dust & j. Herbin’s cocoa du bresil #FountanPen #ink #InkSwatch #FountainPens

  2. So tonight I finally cleaned some pens. For the next few hours all of my favourite pens are standard Jowo C/C pens. Don't come here with your fancy filling systems and ink windows, I spent more time cleaning the Leonardo momento magico than all the others combined 😤 .

    ...

    It writes great tho 🤔

  3. I somehow misplaced my #kaweco AL Sport #Fountanpen during lockdown. It can't have gone far, but it was the one "bulletproof, always with me" pen I relied on. So I finally just went all-in and bought a #Steel Sport to replace it.

    I have to say, the weight of it (around 45g when full, with the piston converter) really helps control my twitchy handwriting. I do much better than I do with the cheap plastic "skyline" sports I had fallen back on.

    Fountain Pens with spring flower images often miss chances to use on season. Let's use your pen with SAKURA or UME (cherry tree or plum).

  5. I've had this for a good long while now. And basically I've had it inked up since I got it. But I've never felt this strong metallic smell from it before. I kind of like it but it's also very strange that it'd come now. After several years of use.. Like.. What changed?

    I used it this afternoon and it smelled like nothing at all. Now, a couple of hours later it's the strongest metall smell I've felt in years.

  6. In preparation for a trip to a pen store I did a little roundup of my current inks. I thought it might help me choose what to buy if I get a better sense of what I have.

    I'd say I'm pretty spread out on colour, but I should probably try more than one brand 🤣 (in fairness I have four).
    Also: Why don't I have any inks whos name start with "O"?

    Yes, this is the kind of organisational nerd I am.
