  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Well, with fountain pens comes fountain pen cleaning…. Never a dull moment I guess hahaha



On the bright side, have a TWSBI broad nib inked up with this crazy Kiwi Inks Quetzalcoatl, and my other TWBI with the custom ground Architect nib inked up too…. Lots of writing to do at work this week…

I'm not big into inks with shimmer (Sparkle) because the little bits in the the ink can clog the pen pretty easily. One of my favorites is Quetzalcoatl by Kiwi Ink... I use it in a broad nib to really show the color variation and shimmer. I was getting the pen ready at work and a large drop of it plopped on to the pad I was working over... check out the color variation and the big glob of shimmer in the middle... the ink is a pain in the ass, but does look really cool on paper when writing with it...
