daidoji_giseiI came home this noon from grocery shopping and found a box of fountain pen love on my porch, courtesy of fountain pen fan (and part-time temptress) yhlee. She included a fountain pen converter and some yummy ink samples as well, so I can experiment. I'm so excited! It's almost enough to make me want to start a novel long-hand. <3
Having found instructions on how to remove an already-in-use cartridge from a pen I've decided to start with the ink the pen came with for practice and then move up to the converter and the ink samples. The pen and the ink are a sky-ish blue, which I suspect is not an accident on Yoon's part. *grin*
