Anche se manca ancora più di un mese al Natale, io mi sono già fatto il regalo! Ecco la mia nuova penna stilografica: Twsbi Eco Glow Green con pennino F. Già caricata con l’ottimo inchiostro Twsbi Midnight Blue.
Here's another fun rubber stamp I bought on this etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/100ProofPress (i'm just a happy customer)
I really think this stamp deserves a cephalopod-worthy purple or maroon inkpad though... might have to buy a couple more stamp pad colors.
Cant wait to stamp this on the back of an envelope! I love making my card, postcard, and letter writing more fun. #fountainpen@penfount#journaling#fountainpenday#handwriting#cephalopods
I learnt a little walking cursive in Chinese calligraphy class, but I never got round to grass cursive. So I've been working with this 1958 Yale University Press book. It's hard but it's so much fun to get my pen to do these wild gyrations!
Update: Problem solved! It reads: Es freut mich, daß Sie bis heute schon so große Erfolge erringen konnten. So wünsche ich Ihnen auch für Ferneres recht große weitere Erfolge. Nachdem die jüdische Musik doch bald ganz eingedämmt ist, wird für unsere deutschen Künstler wieder eine bessere Zeit kommen.
#FPQuestion of the day:
Given the vast variety of pens and related items—and the ease of going crazy with acquisitions—what are some tips or ways to control spending or reduce impulse buying while keeping the hobby interesting and fresh? #FountainPens
@penfount To control spending: Don't Look. Hard stop. This means no #FountainPen related content: audio, visual, textual. If you have a friendly local brick and mortar store, eliminate or limit your visits.
To keep the hobby interesting and fresh, go deep: take up in earnest one or more of the adjacent hobbies, like #handwriting, #sketching, #calligraphy. You may need to purchase a few things to do so, but not too many.
When I read that Neil #Gaiman wrote his novels by hand, using #fountainpens, I was convinced he had calligraphic #handwriting. Flowery. Akin to medieval scribes' ornate lettering. Impossibly neat and consistent compared to my rushed scrawl.
#FPQuestion of the day:
What texts do you enjoy writing when you have nothing in particular to write about? (Pangrams, lyrics, nonsense phrases, book excerpts etc.) #FountainPen#handwriting

Eddie Bauer changed its logo because Gen Z doesn’t read cursive
After nearly 60 years of its distinctive cursive script, the outdoor retailer is ditching the script for blocky text and a goose. 🪿
“A big part of what I’m going to need to do here is reintroduce this great heritage brand to the next generation,” Bantle says. “And kids don’t even learn to read cursive in school anymore.”
Phew...it's already day 27, but here is my late entry for day 26 of #30Inks30Days. Was out all afternoon and had lots of TV to catch up on after dinner (for some reason almost all the shows we're watching release new episodes on Tuesdays). I almost decided to work on the entry tomorrow, but I pushed forward in the end. 🤷♀️ Hopefully day 27 will be back on the regular schedule.
