Japanese pen nibs review So they came - here in the backwaters of the Europe via EMS post which is supposed to be fast. And it is fast only that it takes approximately 2 days to get from Tokyo to Bucharest and 5 days!!!! to get from the post office to me - and that is because I did my best at tracking the parcel down and barging in on the post office ready to slice and dice.
Only to find out that I could have got them as soon as they came in the country and not wait patiently for them to send me a note via postman. That is the point of the EMS postal service. Creeps!

Putting the transport incident aside - about the pen nibs and the penholders.

There are 5 type of
Ink review It's been around a year or so since I switched from feltip pens or liners such as Copic, Staedler and Centropen to the more traditional and of course well outdated dip-pen and ink.

In the course of an year I have grown pretty much used to the workflow and now nothing could be more natural than dip-n-ink for me. Sometime around X-mas I ordered online a set of Japanese pen nibs and penholders. See the review I wrote at the time. Since that time I've been using Windsor & Newton Ink - you can find it in Bucharest at Hanul cu Tei in small 25ml bottles and in 250 and 500 ml big bottles. Also around X-mas an accident happened - I spilled half of in
Paper review I should probably start by saying I'm this paper freak who buys blocks just to test them out. Ok, this rewiev is not complete and ever-encompassing, I'm going to mention only the papers I've encountered and are available in Romania (yes, there are a lot of to-dream-for papers which can't be bought here). Then I should mention that my main interests in what paper can do are: watercolors, ink, pencil, rubber resistance, markers, coloured pencils and why not writing on and printer.

Other things you should probably understand about paper before you read this are density, how-s-made (technically)and texture.

Density - you can read it on the bloc
