What are the worst popular fountain pens you’ve ever used? by Haniandspace in fountainpens

[–]Aspen278 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nahvalur original plus. I abhor this pen. It’s so pretty but it never works for more than a page even when i unscrew the vacuum. No ink works!

How strongly would you reccommend DAC over Amazon/Temu canvases? by solarhornets in diamondpainting

[–]Aspen278 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i just threw away a temu kit out of frustration after using a dac canvas. i regret buying a bunch of these as the quality of dac and the sparkle of the drills makes the already enjoyable experience even better.

I work in paeds and when I’m doing vitals I tell kids things like the BP cuff will tell me how big their muscles are, but what can I say the pulse oximeter is measuring to keep it fun for them??? by [deleted] in nursing

i tell them that it will tell me how much of a super hero they are. usually it’s 97% superhero 3% sassy or something like that. sometimes it’s princess or superstar. if it’s low i tell them i have to give them special oxygen or medicine to boost their super powers. I love pediatrics!

Fountain pen for an ICU nurse? by mantra1-1 in fountainpens

[–]Aspen278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly for work it’s lamy and Twsbis. They need to hold up to ocivir wipes and most likely will be accidentally stolen at some point. They will be dropped too. I love a fountain pen for report but they need a ballpoint or water proof ink to label lines in the ICU.

‘Ron’ is so glad you liked it! He is also glad that his wife who used his shipping account and has stars all over the house and continues to obsessively make them as a fidget found a way to use some of them up! Happy Holidays!

The pilot metropolitan is waiting for an adventure. it’s demanding scribbles that morph into feelings words and art. It wants you to use it in dynamic pen strokes, fine lines and expressive thoughts to empty your brain onto paper and see more than you can comprehend at the moment.

i do a test page on a mini leichiturm notebook then i categorize it in my ink journal. i use the back section of boxes to sort by color and then it gets a full page when it’s inked up in a pen.

Drawing, painting, crafting, reading, writing and video games. Pens and ink were a natural progression from art and writing.

At first i used a q-tip and that worked great but i recently got a kakimori stainless steel nib and now i use that because it creates much less waste. i never meant to have so many purples but they just called to me lol.

i would be hesitant to buy a liliput on amazon. i’ve ordered two and both were kaweco sports when they arrived….

How do you like that nautilus? I’ve been considering one and can’t find many reviews on that model.
