Cypress Kawari Nuri Black/Green with an Opus 88 Jowo 6 nib (to colour match the pen)

Sailor ebonite KoP Aoine Ripple 21k Broad

First pen I've ever had to pre-order and extremely hyped its finally here!

Opus 88 Demonstrator Sapphire <fine>

Always been a huge fan of the Demonstrator from Opus 88 and instantly fell in love with this model. Really nice depth and chatoyance in the resin, my new favourite of the colours by far!

Chem Stacked Jowo #6 finally arrived and paired it with an Opus 88 Demonstrator (Clear).

This is the first stacked nib i have used and its truly amazing. I am blow away by Jose Munuera's work! The nib is super smooth, the variation with angle is massive and the reverse writes like a regular ef. On top of all that the hammered finish on the stack makes it look super cool too!

Ink: Iroshizuku Chiku-Rin

Paper: Tomoe River 52gsm

Been swapping nibs in my Leonardo Fantasie PM1L trying to find something that fits and really like this combo after pulling the nib from my Nahvalur Fathom Pride edition, full-on Rainbow mode

Picture 4 was the original for reference.

New Leonardo Momento Magico Fantasie - Primary Manipulation 1 Lite <Fine>

First ever pen with a resin produced by Jonathon Brooks and you can instantly see why he has a name so well regarded in the fountain pen world! Incredible depth and chatoyance with wonderful swirls of colour.

Been a big fan of Leonardo's for a while so this combination of maker and materials was really exciting to add to my collection! Love all 4 options in the 'Fantasie' range so it was very hard to pick a favourite and may end up having to get another (Arctic Blast also really has my eye)

First ink fill was Iroshizuku Hana-ikada trying to match up to the pink tones but wasn't sure which way to go with an ink match on this resin, any suggestions very welcome 😅
