shirahama's hatching process
btw since ive seen a lot of people talking about how this inspired them to get a dip pen i want to mention something that people unfamiliar with dip pens might not know about and it's that a lot of brand new pen nibs often come with a protective coating (although not always. make sure you research the specific nib you're planning on getting)
(source) (<- also includes a lot more information about dip pens)
