It's been a while since the #pelikanhub, but here's a shot of me with the amazing organizer!

#PelikanHub2025
A gathering of fountain pen nerds.

1. #pelikanhub2025 in Vancouver
2. Played #CardsAgainstHumanity with my family.
3. #WFMU, which lost its annual government grant which was 8% of its funding, achieved its fundraising goal in its October #Hellraiser today.

I love WFMU, three online streams added to its "mother ship" station. I made two genuine friends with volunteer DJs this year and gladly postponed expenses and cut back to help the station.

Hand turned pens, both fountain and dip. #BARN on Bainbridge Island offers classes making both

Drawesome Drawtober on Dreamwidth No.24 Forgotten Things

Content Notes: Well a bit of a bonus today. Firstly thanks to @Steveg58 for the suggestion of a dragon settling down for so long it became part of the landscape and forgotten by people, because I needed inspiration. And it's a special day, we have two inks, because today was the Pelikan Hub event, and Pelikan kindly gave registered attendees a bottle of the year's ink, which you can see below. It's a bright one!

It's Apricot Achat in the Eidelstone range. The other ink is the 24th ink the inkvent calendar that I'm nearly at the end of, Sugar Snap - it was the 2023 calendar and I think there were some beauties in it!

So without further Ado, here we are, not wonderful photos tonight but I'm a bit tuckered now.

Well,, we're back from #PelikanHub2025 and the ink is a very pretty Apricot. From my perspective it is a pretty special one - because it is a plain ink. No sparkle, no shimmer.

This is important to me because I use ink-roller pens, not fountain pens, and so the shimmer and sparkles don't work.

I also scored some very nice #Diamine and #Monteverde inks from the door-prize gift swap.

As always, a fun evening, and scored some great loot!
