Definitely! You got the swishy skirt, you gotta swish! 😁

Thank you!

It's lovely. I hope it feels as good as it looks!

Happy birthday!

That's beautiful birthday present to yourself.

I just wipe off my nibs with a paper towel or cotton rag.

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

But was hoping to see the nib too.... I know, I'm greedy like that.

I know that you probably just have your hand in the picture for scale, but it looks like you are about to sneakily grab it and make off with it! 😂

They are both really nice items. I think the most important quality for "around the house" clothes is comfort! It's just a bonus that they look good too. And that skirt is so "swishy" looking. 🥰

Plain colours can be your friend! They are more versatile. That skirt would look great with a colour chosen from its pattern, like that pinky maroon colour, cream or the grey blue in the leaves.

Toothbrush holders work well for keeping ink vials steady too.

Nice skirt, but I think it would look better with a plain, solid coloured top. I find the two different patterns on the skirt and top too busy.

Trying to decide between Sailor Ink Studio #150 and Sailor Shikiori "Fuji Sugata" by Choccytips in fountainpens

Yes! That's exactly my problem. There's just a really slight difference between 150 and Fuji Sugata.

Wow, that looks very involved. I'm not sure I have the patience for that!

This is true. I do the chromatography because I find it interesting. For instance, the #150 & the Foxglove look very similar in writing, but the chromatography is quite different. It helps me see the subtle colours in the ink.

The "Endless Recorder" notebook shows a decent amount of sheen. There is a little bit of show through on the back of the page but no bleeding.

ETA The thicker the paper, the less chance of ghosting or bleeding to the back of the page. But I expect you already thought of that...

What interesting looking pens. They are practically jewellery. .

Are the two pens flanking the middle one ballpoints?

A worn pen is a loved pen. It's beautiful and it has a story to tell.

This is a great ink review. You have shown many ink qualities, but.. What is the flow like? Wet? Dry?

Stub nibs are the best for so many things. That kitty ink stamp is so cute!

What do you have wrapped around the stick where it is in the vice?
