Fountain pen maintenance day

Fountain pens must either be used daily or they need to be flushed weekly. Today was flushing day…..shamefully, a few pens needed a cold bath today….however, all are well and happy now. Today, I took a J Harbin mini fountain pen on a road test. After I flushed it I filled it and used itContinue reading “Fountain pen maintenance day”

I saw this woman on a surf board and the photo inspired this…. This sums up a lot of our current events….. “Scylla and Charybdis” #50

Sktchy #33

“No Groundhogs?” That’s right woodchuck chuckers, it’s Groundhog Day….again? I looked for groundhogs to sketch on Sktchy and couldn’t find any so this young lady had to do. She doesn’t understand all the hoopla about Groundhog day since the Groundhogs are pulled out too early in the day before there is enough light to actuallyContinue reading “Sktchy #33”
