Settling nicely into my very first Hobonichi Weeks!

I love writing letters. There’s such a slow, simple pleasure in it.

New Ink - Diamine Ochre 🦋

I noticed you replied to one of my fountain pen posts, and I got so excited! Do you have a favorite fountain pen? I think both of my Twsbis are my favorites. They write like a dream. 🖋️

Thank you for asking! It's wonderful to meet other fountain pen nerds. I'm relatively new to the hobby. I was so excited to re that it took me a while to reply.

I cannot choose just one, but TWSBI is included! They are outstanding pens. They write beautifully. I especially appreciate how long ink can stay in its barrel and write smoothly before needing to be changed.

Here are my favourites:

from L to R:

1. Narwhal Key West in Key Largo Blue (thank you to @platybelle for identifying it! I couldn't remember which it was, and it really bothered me.)

2. Benu Talisman in Shooting Star

3. Benu Euphoria in Vodka on the Rocks

4. TWSBI VAC 700R in Iris

(the rainbow didn't photograph well here because I was trying to get the holographic and iridescent glitter in the resin of the other pens to sparkle...)

5. Benu Euphoria in Jazz

Do you have any pens on your wish list right now?

Quick before work rainy day self portrait with my TWSBI fountain pen that I haven’t used in over a year and refilled today. Great pens! #twsbiart #twsbifountainpen #selfportrait #moleskinecahier #janitorlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CkuCyGGvyni/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have an addiction to art supplies and fine writing equipment (also includes drafting supplies). Today I met the new recipient of my money I spend on these addictions! @occasionsjustwrite they have a wonderful store with a nice selection of higher end products. The great thing is they are local right here in Wilmington NC. They are super friendly as well. I am glad that these nice people have so kindly agreed to adopt my money, I know it is going to a nice home 🤪 seriously it’s a great store with a nice selection. A selection I’m sure which will grow if we support it! I’d rather spend my money local than at Amazon. I purchased from them a beautiful new twsbi fountain pen, a bottle of twsbi ink, some caran D’ ache watercolor pencils and a water brush. I also got a nice Japanese brush pen I believe made by Sipa not positive. #wilmingtonnc #wilmingtonncartist #wilmingtonncartsupplies #fountainpens #artsupplies #localbusiness #twsbifountainpen #twsbiinks #carandache #carandachewatercolorpencils #carandachewaterbrush #sipapens https://www.instagram.com/p/CkmCYBXuSFY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Discovered @productivepaperplans monthly challenge through @nandiniramchandran and missed my daily posts on instagram... So thought this would be a fun way to use my fountain pen more!!!!! Question one at the present time if I had to be an ink I would be Diamine Peacock Flare. Obsessed with this ink 😍 #diamineink #diaminepeacockflare #twsbidiamond580. #twsbidiamond580alemeraldgreen #twsbifountainpen #fountainpenlove #fountainpenaddict #fountainpenink https://www.instagram.com/p/COi0PiuA_A9/?igshid=n51mjchrlcaj

„WHERE ARE THE KIDS?” Sitting in my yard the other day, I was facing the play structure that I built for the grandkiddos to enjoy when they are with us. It looked so lonely. Hopefully, they will get to enliven it before too long. Sketched using a TWSBI Eco fountain pen with PLATINUM Carbon ink in a 8.25” x 11.5”” MOLESKIN notebook. #LobstArtstudios #dessinateur #artist #dessin #sketch #drawing #stuff #quicksketch #RanDOODLINGdom #quicksketch #forpractice #croquisrapide #croquisrapidement #croquis #szkic #penart #itwaswhatwasinfrontofme #twsbieco #platinumcarbonink #twsbifountainpen #penandinkartist #magicalarchipelago #playequipment (at Magical Archipelago) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAxDJx9nf1k/?igshid=1cv4gykrlxk15

Hopefully you're not sick of me still talking about it. Might still be awhile. Lol 😅😜 hopefully I don't overextend myself but the plan is to have fun. Lol 📝 Dug around and shopped around my stash of #notebooks for a #notebook to use. Decided on this one which seemed fun. Lol 📓 Let me know if you're participating in #nano! AAdd me as a friend!
