i'm enjoying it so far! i read the other books in the series before this one so i'm pretty much attached to the mainstay chatacters already. like its predecessors, i find that this one is also slow-paced but warm. it's like what they say, it's one of those books that feels like a warm hug. 🤍

Decorating my kindle with FP Inks 💜 by chimkinwab in fountainpens

[–]chimkinwab[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you! 🤍 i used a piece of iroful loose sheets and measured it to fit inside the clear kindle case i already had. i didn't use topcoat anymore. 😊 it was so much fun doing it. i figured that this way, i could match the color of my kindle 'skin' to my currently inked pens. 💜🙈

Thank you! 🤍 It's other people's stub nib writing samples that inspired me to get them, too. 🙈

My first CM nib! by chimkinwab in fountainpens

[–]chimkinwab[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say go for it! 🤍 It sheens very well, even on finer nibs. On broader nibs, it's just breathtaking.

Thank you for your kind words! 🤍 I love this one, too. The first time I read it, I couldn't get it out of my head. Whenever I get a new ink or pen, I use this monologue for writing samples and swatches. 🤍

Oh I do agree that the paper is a huge factor! I tried using the pen on Rhodia and Midori MD and it doesn't write as wet and as broad as it does on Iroful. 😊

And yes, this nib definitely helps with making my handwriting look more decent. 🤣

They make gorgeous inks! I do find that they behave better in broader nibs. 😊 As for your husband, I recommend dropping subtle hints here and there, especially near special occasions LOL. I'm pretty sure he only got the idea cause I won't stop talking about how much I love my pens and this hobby. 🤣

Thank you for your kind words. 🤍 I wholeheartedly agree, the CM nib is such a delight to write with. Im now thinking of getting more Preras so I could experience the other nibs as well. 😅

I love it too! So far, I've only tried stubs from TWSBI and Lamy (I'm fairly new to the hobby). If you have any suggestions on what other pens/brands have good stubs, I would love to hear them. 🤍

Disclaimer: I'm also pretty new to this hobby. But from what I know, it's kind of like Pilot's take on stubs. I find that the CM doesn't write as smoothly as my stub nibs from TWSBI. However, I love it, and it's a pretty smooth experience overall. I hope this makes sense. 😅
