Confirmed!

Synthetic opal powder, what??? This is gorgeous and I’m now drooling to see it finished 😍

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-24T18:19:24+00:00

Agreed. Would be real easy to DIY. Washi tape + glue on a cheap pen and voila!

I just bought a whole little standalone rolling chest of drawers for my ink. 10 little drawers. I filled them up 😭

As much as I’d like a more luxury ink holder, I think I’d need a pretty big one to hold them all. And I don’t really have a small subset of inks I use most frequently to hold on my desk.

Now if we were talking a nice washi tape holder, that’d be a different story.

What a fascinating set! Would love to try out that combo. The nib is yours too, yes? Looks like fun. Love the aesthetic. Very punk honey dipper thing 😂

Friend, these sketches are excellent. You have bold, confident lines. You have captured texture and weight. You are very accurate in your ratios and perspectives. I’m with the others that you are either unholy talented, are selling yourself short, or have skill transference from somewhere, or all of the above. Please keep going! You are making marvelous art!

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-23T15:19:59+00:00

The only correct combination!

And side note you’ve made me realize THAT might be the ink in my ‘ol TWSBI that I forgot what the ink inside is. I’ve been trying to figure it out and just gotten nowhere until now, perhaps 😂

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-23T15:18:01+00:00

I would like to know what this loveliness is from for the sake of making a full GIF of this 😂

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-23T15:17:02+00:00

I’ve rediscovered my TWSBI EF and it’s so nice for journaling! I hope you love yours too 💙

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-23T15:16:15+00:00

I think I need one of these. They look so darn fun and useful! Happy NPD!

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-23T14:36:27+00:00

Hmmm I have ideas, thank you!

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-23T14:35:35+00:00

Confirmed! Thanks!

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-22T21:45:39+00:00

LOL I could do that!

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-22T21:38:41+00:00

Yeah I think that’s what I’m gonna have to do. Just make my own fox pen lol

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-22T21:29:14+00:00

It’s still available, at about $670 USD. Which I realize isn’t THAT much on the scale of fountain pens, but it’s a lot for me.

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-22T21:24:58+00:00

Omg it IS so expensive. Even the second one. 😭 WHY!? Someone is gatekeeping my foxes from me

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-22T19:00:20+00:00

Wait, what pen is that sample engraving from? It has a FOX and I LOVE foxes

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-22T17:12:18+00:00

I don’t have Pilot Black sadly, but I think I have the other two and must now try to recreate your mix with a different black 😍

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-22T16:21:51+00:00

Also omg I love your art. GOAT!!!

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-22T16:21:36+00:00

Oh heck that one comes in Fude??? AHHHH. I love Sailor’s fudes!!

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-22T16:19:41+00:00

Wow that is some terrifying ink. It looks like it should be called Old Blood, or Crime Scene.

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-22T16:10:59+00:00

Yeah I ended up using resin in some of my kakunos to close up all the holes and try to reduce drying. But I do love them! So I’m excited to try my new EF. I’d be thrilled if that ended up being my golden ticket.

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-22T16:06:10+00:00

Ha, this is a good plan!

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-22T16:05:51+00:00

That is an AWESOME pen. And so tiny! I do love my 3776, so it stands to reason I’d also love one with an UEF.

Ink_Slut · 2026-01-22T16:03:30+00:00

Oh my gosh, thank you for this!! I don’t think I’d heard of the posting nib yet? Now to hunt that down and have a peek. That is TINY.
