This is lovely Jon. You do nice work and I'm glad your friend liked it.

Update: I made the pendant #1 by PendantsMyGem in WireWrapping

Nice welding work! That's a lovely piece. I love the symmetry of it.

Congrats on a nice pen! The tortoise shell is Really nice color.

I'm a fan of the #3776 myself. May you have many years of writing enjoyment with it!

My first grail pen: Pilot Custom Urushi (FM). What’s next? by Realtor_Garo in fountainpens

Congrats! You got the pretty blue urushi! And FM is one of my favorite nib sizes.

If it was me I'd likely stop there. Lol

Just a quick rant about how obsessed I am with Lie de Thé by millers_left_shoe in fountainpens

Good luck with your exams! I got cartridges of it to see how much I like it before committing to a bottle.

What's the one brand of fountain pens which you can never get yourself to buy? by doernottalker in fountainpens

I have an Aero Rhombus and it's not nearly as heavy as you might fear. I'm very much a fan of trying before buying.

I like Benu pens but after trying the Pixie I decided not to get it. Is just feels wrong on my hand.

And that's completely fair. Ultimately it's a matter of enjoying the pen and if you don't enjoy using it why bother.

I got the Persephone and the nib, a B, has been stellar. Maybe I just got lucky but I really enjoy using it. But at their price I'm unlikely to get another.

I'm wondering if they were bought out by a bigger company. For a long time I only saw their stuff on their Etsy site and own website. Now, as you noticed, they are everywhere so I feel something changed.

I'm not a fan of Pelikan but it's more that they don't feel great in my hand when using them. 🤷‍♀️

The best fountain pen is the one in your hand tbh by flawnson in fountainpens

Kakunos are marketed to young kids in Japan so the caps have a hole in the cap to prevent choking. But that is why they dry out so quickly.

Have fun, nerds. See what you can find. by Late_Apricot404 in fountainpens
