piston filler 🖋 Hey stranger, glad to see you're still addicted to gorgeous inks and tea. Am just in from a hideously exhausting work shift, will reply more after hibernating for a few days but try Medusa on different papers, amazing what a difference it makes. Some of my inks are completely monotone on one paper then same ink is bright and dazzling with sheen on different paper. Rhodia makes them flat and dull, Clairefontaine brings out their shimmer and makes them vivid. I used to think it was all about ink colour, now i realise it's all about paper! Also, take a look at Octopus inks Medusa / Dragon / Phoenix / Fairy shimmer collection, you'll die. Glad you're well and excited about your ink colours. That copper sheen that looks wet is stunnnnnnnning. Goodnight 😴 😴
@@MaryShelleysNib ohhh noooo… now you’ve given me several rabbit trails to run in! I’m falling deeper into the rabbit hole for sure! All I can say though is that inks are way cheaper than pens! 😂 thank you for the recommendations. Christmas is right around the corner, so I might just have to get one or two! I also appreciate your advice on the different papers. I love the way they show up- even when it’s a difference of white versus cream paper! Great suggestions! I’m glad you’re doing well and I hope you get a chance to take some time off work and enjoy writing, refilling pens or just enjoying your time off! 😍
