Creator/Designer - Revontulet (Board game [card game] aiming for 2026 release)
I started making a fountain pen as a gift for a dear friend last August. The friendship ended unexpectedly and I was too distraught to finish until now. I made a small mistake on the cap, no big deal I can shorten it by 2mm. In doing so I made another mistake and had to take 5mm off to correct it.

My phone said today "Remember eight years ago today when you posted pictures of the two chessboards you were making? Remember how you never finished either one?"

So I guess that's getting added to the list of projects.

Unfinished picture and SURPRISE! It glows in the dark

Google reminded me of this photo from 2018 of The Bean (sorry, I'm never going to call it Cloud Gate)

Started a new medication for shrinking tumors and with the first prescription they sent a welcome package with a stress ball. The refill arrived with a pair of grippy socks.

Are they trying to tell me something?

I've always had fun both making and playing with the dart kits I have posted before, but interest seems to be very niche. I was surprised while at the recent market fair at the attention they received (Apparently dart leagues are very popular in Genoa) so it looks like more coming soon!

I love the way this ink refill retracts! It twists and locks like a fire hose!

Forcing myself to list already finished pens before making more, the goal is at least a couple a day until I get through the backlog

The last couple days have been fountain pens (although I have a few more) so sticking with "also sprays water if you think about it" today's theme is Firefighter

I'd been holding off posting some of my fountain pens because I had misplaced the neccesary ink cartridges/ pumps, but I have them in stock again!
These will be available on Etsy soon.

Celtics fountain pen curly koa and resin

Vertex Maple Burl (pink/gold dye)

This is the unapologetic face of someone that just learned sitting on a TV remote can press buttons, and if you press buttons while dad is playing Monster Hunter instead of petting you, he is FORCED to pay attention to you

I'm finally in the process of reopening my Etsy and Amazon Handmade stores. It's been a long process but I keep putting it off while aiming for perfection and am finally just pulling the trigger again.

A sample of what I'll be adding to one or both stores in the next few days.
