The Good Blue Co. R615 Fountain Pen with Steel Flex Nib (plastic feed & ebonite feed)
Thank you to The Good Blue Co. for sending this set over so I could share it with you! I think it's pretty great!

a twsbi 580AL rose gold with an extra fine nib
Last year was the year of rose gold for TWSBI. Ever since they came out with the 580 mini in rose gold a few years ago, I've lusted after a rose gold TWSBI. I put off purchasing one a few years ago because of the reported quality issues but for the rose gold editions of 2020, they reassured customers that the problems had been fixed. So far so good!Today,... read more

review of my 2020 bullet journal (july to december)
Considering I've now been bullet journaling for over a year, this post is a bit late. Can I blame it on the pandemic...?! Anyway, I first tried it out in July 2020 and used up a whole Papier notebook in the space of about 6 months.

Ballpoints and rollerballs have their place, but as certified pen fanatics who have tried everything from Bics to Montblancs, fine-tip gel pens are at a completely different level when it comes to precision.

An artist’s guide to dip pens
A dip pen or nib pen or pen nib usually consists of a metal nib with capillary channels like those of fountain pen nibs, mounted in a handle or holder, often made of wood. Other materials can be used for the holder, including bone, metal and plastic; some pens are made entirely of glass.
Generally, dip pens have no ink reservoir, so the user must recharge the ink from an ink bowl or bottle to continue drawing or writing. There are simple, tiny tubular reservoirs that illustrators sometimes clip onto dip pens, which... read more
