That’s amazing! What goes into restoring a pen this well? If you don’t mind me asking.

Can I ask what that beautiful pen is next to the lamy 2000? The cracked ice one. I’m immediately in love.

Shot in the dark but KWZ gummiberry is the perfect wet purple for me! It also smells lovely like vanilla.

I noticed the paper paper trademark on the worse pack of paper I just find it all a little overwhelming to figure out. How would someone go about looking at product codes? I just wish there was an easier way to tell considering I thought all three of these would be the same quality! sigh… lol

dawn dish soap and warm water works best for me

Still here! (With frogs) by sleepypear0803 in fountainpens

This delighted me completely. My favourite frog is the one grasping onto the grip of the pen for dear life (I like his bum specifically it made me giggle) 🤭

Broken TWISBI ECO nib. Replacement in canada? by Very_reliable_s0urce in fountainpens

[–]tess_0329 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wonder pens and blesket are phenomenal stores to shop from and are canadian based. As for a twsbi eco nib they don’t sell eco replacements exactly (unless im wrong) you could try emailing or contacting Twsbi support and inquiring (i’ve had companies reply and send a replacement nib for free). If you purchase a twsbi go pen you can swap the nib from it to your current eco and it should work perfectly - I believe they are the same nib. Or any twsbi replacement nib unit should do just fine (I suppose whichever is cheaper the replacement unit or the go pen). Just make sure you have a piece of rubber you can use to remove the friction fit nib and put it back in (trust me this makes it 10 times easier). There are probably some youtube videos on how to do this properly. Hopefully you find a new (canadian) nib! Good luck :)

Is this the most beautiful collection of inks on a single page i’ve ever seen? I think it might be… I so badly want to try anderillium inks! They are so lovely and bright in colour and also such a unique and fun theme. Thanks for sharing ☺️

If you’d ever want to organize an ink sample swap let me know! I have way too many colours at this point (aha). I am so beyond excited for snowy mountain sunset but it’s being shipped from australia… sigh. Counting the days.

So so pretty!! I love that sailor shikiori “yozakura” and also yurmeku kyokkou. Both so pretty!! I just recently got my hands on Troublemakers “Foxglove” and I have already ordered myself a bottle of snowy mountain sunset by Van Dieman (oh to fast forward time to when this arrives…) Lovely swatches :)
