Posted on May 2, 2019 by D. Katie Powell

I have a Jinhao that came with a purchase and the nib was swapped out — Lovely writer with the JOWO nib. Filled it with Super5 Darmstadt, which has never had its own pen. It is now my always-gotta-have-it pen! … Continue reading →

Ganesha Heart

Posted on April 2, 2019 by D. Katie Powell

Deadlines

Posted on January 25, 2019 by D. Katie Powell
