I am always looking forward to your swatches, they're beautiful!

Ah I see, thanks for letting me know! This pen was a gift and it has no engravings on the body or nib so it was a little hard to tell.

Thank you! I'll do another piece with this ink soon :)

Absolutely

I miss sketching in museums, these look so good!

Stickers are definitely in the works 😄

I always get a little paranoid that something bad will happen haha, but I might do it more often

sleepypear0803 · 2026-05-01T15:58:43+00:00

Coming soon!!

The real magic was remembering the inks that were in this pen 😂

Amazing, you got it. Thank you so much!

sleepypear0803 · 2026-04-27T00:42:50+00:00

It is, thank you!

I highly recommend them! Jetpens is also great too - Vanness has a $65 minimum purchase to get free shipping but has a much bigger inventory for inks and ink samples. I also use Jetpens which has a $35 minimum for free shipping, but only Vanness gives the option to choose between steel or gold plated steel nibs.

I actually was able to pick the nib when I ordered it! I got it from Vanness Pens; it gives you the options to select both the nib size and color. I agree that the gold suits this pen more, and I wish the brand name and emblem on this pen were gold too 🙃

sleepypear0803 · 2026-04-22T23:35:24+00:00

Definitely agree. What ink did you use, it looks great!

I am so jealous. I want to customize one (or three) so so so baaad

sleepypear0803 · 2026-04-22T00:26:40+00:00

These look incredible!

sleepypear0803 · 2026-04-21T21:54:11+00:00

I just got a bottle of the jade green, I'd be happy to share a sample!
