Day 10 of #30inks30days pairs the shimmery Troublemaker España Boulevard with a Nemosine Singularity with a 0.6mm stub nib. This is my go-to pen for shimmer inks. . . . #inksample #writingchallenge #handwritingchallenge #fountainpen #fountainpenink #fountainpennetwork #fountainpencommunity #inkygoodness https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRtTvlA-ki/?igshid=1c9elc0uzpegs

On our way to a Pelikan Hub and these came today so no playtime for me until tomorrow. Thanks to @birminghampens for the quick shipping and careful packaging. I appreciate the care and personalized note. It's really the little things that matters the most! #birminghampens #birminghampensink #sampleset #inksample #alltheinks #splurgeoftheyear #usps #fountainpenink https://www.instagram.com/p/BoAcGucj0U1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c8st5lq4nn3c

Close-up of the @jherbininks Cornaline d'Egypte. I didn't get to do this while I still had natural light (rainy out here). #fountainpenink #jherbin #cornalinedegypte #inksample #inkswatches https://www.instagram.com/p/BnUyo4wFal3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=obrtkjumb9f6

Finally got to my inkflight sample and I gotta say, not so impressed with Krishna. Maybe a bad batch? I dunno. Found out the hard way that I need a new glass dip pen cause both of mine had cracked or broken off (kids love pens and ink but they're too small to do it without supervision). Off to buy more.. i suppose. Or folded nibs cause my ruling pen has rusted. 😂 #hotmess #inkflightsample #inksample #inkflightbox #krishna #kwz #papierplume

Many thanks to @inkjournal for putting together the #30inks30days challenge. Here's a recap of all the inks I used. I really enjoyed using the Kaweco with BB and Pilot CH92 with B. My music nibs were fun as well. Stub is a new love. I learned so much about my ink and nib preference. I am pleased. #pilot #pilotjapan #twsbi #monteverde #kyoto #tag #kobe #nagasawa #sailor #platinumjapan #franklinchristoph #fountainpenink #fountainpenaddict #leuchtturm1917 #inksample #kanwrite #chinesepen #japanesepen #万年筆

These special folded pens are designed for all the ink lovers out there - these tester pens will fit a sample vial, hold a lot of ink and can write monoline - and they are super easy to clean so you can go from one ink to the next quickly. These are now available in the online store (link in bio). I also made a short video showing these nibs in action: https://youtu.be/7Smg8PvToLQ #foldedpens #brassnib #colapen #inktest #fpink #fpn #inkoholic #inktastic #inksample #inkvial (at Toronto, Ontario)

Day 22 of #30inks30days by @inkjournal My choice was the Kanwrite Desire with @montegrappaitalia Violet. Eyedropper for this one and found the ink to be too wet that Tomoe River Paper can't even handle it. I'm going to sound really irrational about this but for the first time, I'm really heartbroken about this ink that I can't write in my journal or do my other challenges. I'll do them tomorrow once I have a fresh pen with an ink that I know won't bleed through my Hobonichi books. I tested the other Montegrappa inks I got (Fuchsia and Green) using a glass dip pen this time and writing ever so lightly in my MUJI notebook that can take so much ink with high bleed tolerance --- still bled. I'll be tossing these inks away as I don't want anyone else to ruin their beloved journal or planner. Tomorrow will be a better day. #hobonichi #hobonichitecho #original #journaling #leuchtturm1917 #fountainpen #fountainpenink #violetink #shade #practice #rockyourlettering #rockyourhandwriting #seriousnibbage #montegrappa #kanwrite #inksample #disappointment #notworthit
