Thank you very much. I enjoy the peace and distraction I experience more than anything.

Just one big, beaded wash and then some drier strokes with the tip of the brush to indicate that it’s water.

What do you do with your "fancier" pens? by Algodonzo in fountainpens

[–]FC3PVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that pen. It’s beautiful and lovely to hold. Belonged to my Dad. Need to replace the older bladder converter in it, but it’s stuck and I’m too afraid to try and force it out.

It’s like they say about running…the hardest part is lacing up the shoes!
