I like making mixing my hobbies and fandoms together. I'm not always the greatest at writing and completely lack skills in the realm of fine art, so I often get creative in how to do things inspired by stuff I like.
I jumped fairly hard and deep into fountain pens and ink this fall. I really love color and playing with it in various ways. By the time I had my first pen and bottles of ink, I had an idea inspired by some limited edition ink and a cute pen I saw online. Within a day or two, I had the whole idea planned out. I just had to hunt all the parts down.
All pens are Platinum Preppy Wa Modern Maki-e limited editions pens with fine nibs in various patterns from the past few years. The inks are all a base of a Sailor Manyo ink (including the entire 5th anniversary line that had the inks that started it all) with 2-3 colors of Wearingeul's Glitter Potions that suit each character mixed in. Swatch cards made on Col-o-Dex rotary swatch cards using cotton swabs and Pilot Iro-Utsushi fine and medium dip pens.
