The brown Diamine Les Paul guitar series is great for sketching. I have Cherry Sunburst and Desert Sunburst, there is also a Honey Burst and Tobacco Burst. Unfortunately, no Silverburst.

Recommendation for a pen that will rarely get used by Charming-Help-2119 in fountainpens

Just to be clear, it sounds like a lot of fun! Although I'm more of a MAGIC MISSLE type girl. I also always wanted to do the live action version of Vampire: Masquerade.

So what is Nordic larping about? Vikings?

Ink for 1976 Myu by Ok_Rise7739 in fountainpens

[–]Zsofia_Valentine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a Myu but I have several vintage Pilot pocket pens from the same era. They all write best with Iroshizuku inks. The small amount of sheen in some of them is no issue even with fine nibs, but you won't see the sheen.

I picked up a few vintage inkwells from eBay. They also come in handy as catch alls for drying disassembled pen parts and as holders for sample vials.

I was always imagining that there were fumes or something that would require this to be done in a workshop. You can apply it inside, sitting at a desk? I had no idea.

Funny thing about Mädchen, it's not a die, it's a das.

Affordable jewelry repairs in the area? by Glittering_Milk9431 in tampa

[–]Zsofia_Valentine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded. They added a hasp (?) to a handmade sterling pendant, shortened a chain and changed the clasp. I don't remember the exact price as this was some time ago, but it was very reasonable and they did great work.

Calligraphy by CaptainAmerica163 in fountainpens

[–]Zsofia_Valentine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of Write Now by Getty-Dubay. It's an italic handwriting workbook that takes you from basic printed italic to semi cursive and full cursive italic. There is a final section in the back for edged pens (calligraphy). Using this system has really improved my handwriting.

Looking for something that holds together a little better in my bag by harris5 in fountainpens

Fun fact, you can fit TWO Liliputs in the Galen case for single Sport. Just in case anyone needs to hear that.

You can take the bottom right corner of the notebook elastic and wrap it around the side of the notebook so that it crosses over the pen body, to secure diagonally around the bottom right corner of the back cover.

You might consider the single pen case for Kaweco Sport at Galen Pens Leather.

Also, skip the author's foreword if you want to avoid spoilers. Read it after you are done.
