Emerald Fusion apparently has a fluorescent ink component, put it in water and this neon green ink comes out. Literally neon green. (Also, bonus nib pic)
#FountainPen folks, bizarre question - was cleaning out some Lamy FPs, and somehow the water ended up on the wrong side of the plunger. Nothing I'm doing is getting rid of it - is it dead? Or will the water eventually evaporate? 😬
#npd Today’s new #fountainpen is the BENU Matcha Latte Euphoria (Goulet exclusive). I love this color so much! All my Euphorias have Pilot Parallel pen (broad edge calligraphy) nibs in them at the moment, so this gusher B nib actually is quite reasonable by comparison. I have it inked with Sailor ink studio 280.
2 store exclusive inks made by Sailor and a Pilot Silvern. Although the Pilot maki-e pens were tempting, I don't have anything like the Silvern and think this pattern is gorgeous. And it's a Pilot, so writes like a dream.
Picked up "Italic Letters" from the Getty-Dubay series and the recommendation for lefties is to turn the page 90ish degrees (the picture is looking at my left hand and the page as I was). It's awkward and I'm unsure about it, but why not, I can always fall back to my reasonable Spencerian if I hate it. Working with a Kaweco #fountainpen with Noodler's Khruschev red #ink #handwriting
Does anyone know, was the Diplomat Nexus a limited/special edition pen? I'm seeing the gold nib variant is sold out pretty much everywhere and stores aren't putting up 'notify me when this is back in stock' options. #FountainPen
Sad reality of ordering from a small #fountainPen place. You are lucky if the order ships promptly. Never mind if they give you a warning at order time, it might take a few weeks anyway. Mainly an issue if they’re the maker.
I like the idea of #FuckOffFriday, bc there are days when I desperately NEED to rant. It's the perfect tag. Of course, I won't use it only on Fridays bc my brain is really a sieve these days and I don't always remember things on Fridays, or on other days, either.
Today's Fuck Off Friday topic is pain. Pain is a GREAT incentive to swear. Did you know swearing actually reduces pain levels? Yes, it does. I read it somewhere. Of course, I forget WHERE.
I am #fountainpen hobbyist, and would be interested, but bleed-through is a problem. Willing to print on paper of my choice as well.
I recently turned 40-something, and decided that I’m ok with whatever makes me happy, deals w/ anxiety, etc. anyone judgy of my comfort zone gets booted.
Looking for outlets, this sounds like one. With shimmer inks, and any color I’m feeling in the moment.
