Penuary Day 7/31:  Show us your grail pen(s)

From top to bottom: Pelikan M400 Tortoiseshell White, Platinum 3776 Celluloid Karakusa Blue, and the Visconti Medici Rose Gold.  One day, maybe.

Penuary Prompt Day 3: Snow

Obviously I had to draw Elsa. Also: what even is a face?

Penuary #1

Perhaps you saw I was lonely. Either way, you reached out to me and ended the rain.

@elainamaria​ (pictured) and @saintcirce​, among others!  I think the TWSBI Eco is a great gift and a fine way to introduce people to fountain pens.

1.3.2021 || 38/75 Days of Productivity || Penuary Day 2-3/31: How did you get into fountain pens? How long have you been using them?

I found out about fountain pens while reading The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon in 2015 – which I’m about to reread!  The beginning features a Montblanc Meisterstück and I was just enamored.  My interest waned over the years but has recently been revived.  (I don’t have a Montblanc yet, but maybe one day.)

1.5.2021 || 40/75 Days of Productivity || Penuary Day 5/31:  What is your favorite pen-related accessory?

I haven’t had occasion to use it yet, but the Pineider Pen Filler!  It’s basically a portable inkwell that you can attach directly to almost any pen, so you can fill it with little mess.  I hope to use it when we can travel again – supposedly it can fill an average cartridge up to 20 times.  (Maybe I’ll make a video or something when I finally use it).

Also, working on socks for @saintcirce 🌿
