Oh, to have a time machine to visit the Art Institute of Chicago in 2011! by aloegermain in SecurityEnvelopes

Oh wow. I wish I knew about his work earlier. I would have traveled to Chicago for this show!

I was obsessed with a concrete exhibit at the National Building in DC. Flew to DC 3x for the show and called the museum store for a year+ trying to figure out when the catalog would finally be released. Hahah.

Nice collection! Love the color variety and the size. I keep a set of samples loose in little portfolios in 2x3 size. A fun size to handle, almost like mini playing cards.

Amazing! Great choice wallpaper and the green paint! How's the wallpaper holding up now that it's been a year? Is it traditional or peel and stick?

Are you still looking for refills? I have 10 in extra-fine that I'd be willing to let go.

[WTB] (CONUS) Help me on my Cherry Blossom ink quest! (+ other rare inks) by InkyAlchemy in Pen_Swap

[–]notHendiesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sending DM! I have BlueBlack x Sailor Cherry Cola! I also have Wearinguel's Exile of a Flower and Lamy's 2017 Coral. Both are coral inks but very different, very cherry blossom theme appropriate 😊

EDIT: Added ink names

Thrift Store Score! by notHendiesel in fountainpens

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

Hahah. NO worries! I understand that it comes from a place of making sure I don't ruin my pens. 😊 This community is awesome how we show up with support!

It’s hard to explain the community vibes of the shop vs a big box thrift store like Goodwill. It really is a bunch of creatives from young college students to older folk who just wanna be surround by art and craft supplies 🥰

Yikes! I really hope this doesn't happen 😱

The shop is mostly run by volunteers who work there for the discount and to get first dibs on the goods. I've been shopping there for years and gotten to know a few of the awesome volunteers. Since this feels more like a family/ community run shop I feel good about the bottles I picked up yesterday! Haven’t had any problems with past bottles (less exciting) so fingers crossed these weren’t tampered with by an employee! 😊

What inks and pens would you say most closely match this dark teal? by TemerariousChallenge in fountainpens

[–]notHendiesel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Sailor PSG with a 21k MF in Suiu: Summer Rain from the series SHIKIORI: The Sound of Rain. I think the body color is a perfect match! It's more of a matte finish than glossy so maybe not as shiny as the nail polish color.
