Even in the shade, the Majohn Wancai Mini fountain pen in Peachy Pink (left) and Strawberry Pink (right) are very similar. The strawberry is just a tad rosier and more translucent. I wish I could capture it, but both have the very fine blue and silver shimmers in the acrylic, so very pretty! Am not disappointed at all. Happy with my yellow and purple ones, too. But wondering about the baby blue one now.

Ohhhhh, this is weird: Pilot Pens, one of the most reliable fountain pen brands, no longer shows #FountainPens on their web site. Wonder if they’ve stopped production or sold the business? Or maybe their fountain pens will all be Namiki branding in future? Yikes, I’ll have to give them a call on Monday.

I got these bottle-shaped stamps to make ink swatch cards. The shop didn't label them (likely for copyright/trademark reasons), so it's a bit of a guessing game for ones I don't recognize. Problem is I can't recall why I bought the sheet labeled "D" as I have none of those inks, but maybe I got it because they also work as good generic bottles?

I tried labeling the ones I recognize or found searching. Anyone know the "?" ones I couldn't definitively ID?

Funny how the significance of the decision means more #fountainpens for me.
