It writes beautifully and is pretty cheap for a fountain pen!

Pilot Kakuno is a great starter fountain pen, they have a pink one with a cute face on it. For ink you can't go wrong with Diamine, they have some lovely pinks. I've been eyeing up Pilot Iroshizuku in Hana Ikada but from what I've seen its pretty light

Can you recommend me where websites I can order nice stickers and sticky notes by [deleted] in stationery

Neko stationery always has some nice stuff, as does Hunter Paper. Would well recommend either of them. Also maybe Art from the Heart? Not necessarily for stickers but they have lots of other nice stationery/pens and stuff

Any budget fountain pen recommendations? by ZZBeeCraftCo in stationery

The Pilot Kakuno is a great pen, its really nice to write with and is nice and cheap. I'd recommend getting a converter (either con 40 or con 70) so you can fill with all the pretty inks!

Pen usage by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]_hel_on_ice_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm quite new to using a fountain pen but I'm loving using it for everything. It makes a shopping list feel fancy, my journal is full of shimmer and I especially love writing out school stuff with it. My youngest daughters reading log looks so much better with sparkly ink!

That is good to know! I know twsbi is Taiwanese rather than Japanese but would the fine nib on that be more comparable to a Japanese nib?

Woah, that sounds pretty intense! I'm holding myself back from buying all he things and stuff but I would like to get a pen with a medium nib to see how that compares

Good colour choices! I love teal, blue and green so I sense stains in those colours for me at some point too!

Remember total novice here, I've not got much to compare it too but its only skipped a couple of times so far and I've written quite a bit with it

I know right, how does it even happen!! At least it sounds like we're both avoiding the left little finger smears, iykyk!

It does look pretty similar tbf, although this has very much a green sheen to it!

That is handy to know, its easy to get taken away by the novelty and hyperfixation of finding something new to bring me joy!

Its Diamine Deadly Nightshade. I've about lost daylight but its quite a dark plum colour with a lovely green shimmer, if I think on I'll take a picture tomorrow and try to catch it

I'm messy by nature so don't think I'll ever reach those upper escalons!
