Would pour money so hard for an A6 planner with the Hobonichi weeks layout, 3.7mm grid, and made out of Iroful paper. Would be pure fountain pen glory. Maybe in an alternate universe.

Things are going to sh*t right now, so this seems appropriate.

Fountain pen doodling! Eine Schnecke. Done with this Sailor Ancora Pansy fountain pen (B) and Sailor Studio 224 ink on Iroful paper. Not a huge drawing, but still used up a lot of the converter. 🖋️

Very much enjoyed this wonderful and unique read! Loved how a celebration of biodiversity was tightly integrated into the story. Also really liked how it portrayed a character’s extreme anxiety disorder. 💙📚

Little fountain pen tree doodle in Sailor Studio 224 ink. Based on some tree doodle from Google image search results. The ink shading added to the experience and result! Maybe should doodle more often with FP ink.

Trying to distract myself from FOTUS EOs so I'm doing what everyone says not to do—inking a bunch of fountain pens at once—and then I'm re-reading some books I enjoyed because then I won't have any shocks I can't handle at this time. #Benu #Benupens #fountainpens #booksky

These are the Sailor Studios I keep going back to over and over: 150, 264, 280 (an olive with pink multi shading), 162, 237 and 252, a pinkish grayish brown that really needs Tomoe River paper and a juicy nib to look its best. Otherwise it can look rather muddy and blah

Here’s a snap of my currently inked iron gall inks, plus two more De Atramentis document inks I like a lot but don’t happen to have inked right now. All of them work well in Japanese fine nibs and flow very well; I think they’d suit your Sailors.

Main things on my fountain pen wishlist at the moment: more Benu pens (only have a Benu Briolette), some Sailor Studio inks (maybe 162 and 123?), more document / waterproof inks (please share recommendations if you have some! 💕)

Inking up this Kaweco Sport BB nib fountain pen with Diamine Jacaranda (leftover from Inkvent 2023) was an experience. Either this ink is very wet, or this pen is kind of spurty. Cool results with lovely shading on Iroful paper. On most other papers, some feathering happens. Love trying new combos!

Inked several fountain pens the other day. Feeling pen-spired. Especially into the Sailor 224 ink in a Sailor 14k broad nib. And loving the Sailor Tuzu pens with fine nibs.

More daily sketches! r/SketchDaily decreed that this is Dog Week, so here is a Komondor (which I just learned has a name other than “mop dog”) and a Schipperke (which apparently translates to “little captain,” hence the jaunty cap).

Current state of the pen testing page in my Hobonichi Weeks. Mostly of water resistant inks in fountain pens, but also of a Jetstream ballpoint multi-pen.

Puzzles! Looking forward to cozy days inside putting them together. Pre-ordered the 1000 piece Pokémon one. Saw the Spy x Family one and decided I needed it too.

Looking forward to trying the Sailor Tuzu fountain pen! Ordered from Stilo e Stile, as most colors are currently 20% off. Excited about what I've heard, 1) that the seal mechanism works really well; I hope a nicer alternative to Platinum Preppy, 2) the fine writes quite fine, great for Hobonichi.

Diamine Inkvent Day 8 - Marley, a gray with a strong purple undertone. The filled in areas on the ornament are an ink and water mix so you can see the nice chroma (swipe for a closeup and an ink+water swatch card also). I love this one! Possible full bottle candidate. #inkvent #fountainpen
