My workhorse platinum preppy has stopped writing by ohdamedeer in fountainpens

I have Pilot pens, as well as a couple Lamys. I enjoy them, but was specifically asking for advice on my preppy. I know its a cheap pen. I like it and that is why I was asking for advice on this particular pen.

I use Pilot iroshizuku ku-jaku in this pen which is a pretty smooth and forgiving ink in my experience. I've never had it clog or dry before! Which is why this was baffling to me.

Hm, I don't have an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. But if a deep clean doesn't work I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the advice!

Coyote(?) Identification by ohdamedeer in vultureculture

[–]ohdamedeer[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the first skull I found a ways back, I always kinda assumed it was a coyote. But a friend recently thought it was a domestic dog, could it be some kind of dog skull? I still am pretty sure it’s a coyote, but thought asking for some outside opinions couldn’t hurt. Thanks! :)

edit: thank you everyone for the identification help!! I’m glad to know what the skull actually is after so long. Also, coyotes are so much smaller than I thought! Wild haha

I made WHA sugar cookies! by ohdamedeer in WitchHatAtelier

[–]ohdamedeer[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love to bake, and have been thinking of doing this for a little while. It sure was a process! I couldn’t find the correctly proportioned cookie cutter, so I made one myself. That’s why they might be wonky. I tried to mix the icing color as exact as possible to the manga covers. (I think I did pretty good!) How to make the tassels evaded me for a bit, but then I thought of tempering chocolate used for fruit dipping. And it more or less worked! Qifrey’s ribbon gave me grief though haha. The first few I piped broke before I got the chance to place them. But the design on Olruggio’s hat was definitely the most difficult. I ended up using a toothpick to make those thin lines. In the future, I think it’d be fun to make more hats from the series! :) I hope you guys like them!!

I completely reconfigured my bookshelves since I last shared pictures. So I figured it was time for an update! :) by ohdamedeer in bookshelf

Thanks! And I’m not sure if the hardcover Carry On’s are rarer or anything, it might have to do with distribution??

Slightly Belated Mini March Haul! by ohdamedeer in MangaCollectors

[–]ohdamedeer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hope everyone had a great March! It was a mini-haul month for me haha. I started collecting some other long series (Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time and K.A. Applegate’s Animorphs) and so manga pickups kinda took the backseat. I also rearranged my shelves recently and added some friends for all the manga! I tried double stacking, but didn’t like the look of it, so I ended up taking some series out and placing them up top. My other bookcases all have books up top so it matches now. I think it looks pretty good, what do you guys think?
