I whipped out a quick rubber stamp to use for ink swatching. Since a few people have asked me about making stamps, I made a three-minute short showing the process.

Last night, I made my first ever booklet for ink swatching fountain pen ink. Came out to 23 pages of Sanzen Tomoe River 52gsm paper. Used a saddle stitch (staple) binding. Couldn't be happier with the result! I'd like to do more of these over time with all the loose leaf I've acquired for ink swatching.

A break from dystopian healthcare choices to whinge on about #Day4 of #Diamine #Inkvent2025:

Full disclosure: I believe I grew out of scented ink being interesting at 11 or 12 (current age: Moon Landing Years Old).

Seriously though, who is the person that said, “I know what the world wants in an advent calendar, the scent of tobacco! That’s festive AF, that is!”

While #SmokyTobacco thankfully doesn’t smell like a club I might have frequented in my youth, it also fails to smell like quality pipe tobacco. It unfortunately smells rather like the aftershave a young human, new to shaving and wearing scent, would enthusiastically select.
