Day two of the PNW Pen Show was calmer, shorter, and over far too soon. 🖋️ The lesson of the weekend is how much I need to have a life outside of work that includes creativity and joy.

cleaning and sorting through some fountain pens this morning and realized I hadn’t inked this Platinum 3776 Century in a while. one of the first Japanese fountain pens I bought back in the day, and my first gold nib! 🖋️

First day of the PNW Pen Show was wonderful. 🖋️ It was such a bubble of shared joy (and my phone notifications are so curated) that I missed all of the day’s news until I arrived home.

have a Bock fountain pen nib with architect grind that I rarely use. decided to experiment with moving the nib from Bock feed/housing into Jowo feed/housing so it’s easier to swap into other pens. don’t think I’ve got the nib and feed lined up quite right, but hey it writes! 🖋️

🖋️ Got a neat email from Studio Neat today about refills for Mark One pen. Was about to write something snarky about how it needed to be a blog post, but here is the blog post!

Okay, I just updated my tags after getting some useful tips from other authors ♥ However, after my earlier experience with KDP, I'm pretty damn TENSE now to see if my changes get accepted or I get slammed with another "BLOCKED" 😭 #authors 🖋️📖💰 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Was looking for a good ink drawing to recreate as pixel art, and found my own ink drawing from 2011. I believe I have improved somewhat since that time. There’s also a process video. 200 x 200 pixels. According to Apple Screen Time it took me 2h34m to draw.

Some people treat themselves to Easter eggs and hot cross buns for Easter.

I treat myself to a new Pilot MR3 Retro Pop fountain pen with a Fine nib and a new Easter (flat cap) bonnet. 🖋️

Two photos of violet purple fountain pen laying on a white notepad. Top photo has the cap off showing the nib and the bottom the cap is on. There is a silver band around the middle of the pen with purple wavy lines.A green flat cap laying on the white cotton bag it came in.
