I asked the seller and reddit if anyone else had this problem with the ink when I first got it and it seemed an isolated thing and maybe linked to a specific pen.

But it was fine in a c/c. <br/><br/>I recently inked up a Pilot converter with it and all was fine. Then I refilled it. Picked it up earlier and found it was dry, but full, though the ink looked viscous. I cleaned it with a syringe and what splattered from the converter into my sink had the EXACT color and texture of period clots.

I was able to get it very shiny when it was on the dry end of leather hard before bisque firing, though it lost some of that shine after the kiln firing. I got ideas from other studio members before glazing the inside of it with the &#34;mint green&#34; glaze because I wanted something of contrasting.

I took a member class at my studio that was on closed forms to make pumpkins (for Halloween) and luminaries (for Halloween or the holidays). So I&#39;ve been playing with that. Tried two different methods: cut out in the back to insert a tea light vs bottom cut off to place over a candle. No preference for either at this time. I&#39;ve also seen some that are like cups with sides cut out that you can drop a candle in from above. Lots of possibilities! 2025-10-28T19:36:12+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf56vfxssz9unnlqadjpjnaw492z6gq5z76c5xehqrw3yxr866qzgzyq79ya0d8srsxshvxgadc5erza2uv6pmw5kunww20n3pyhalplfmzjl68yh My second luminary all done.

I had out of town plans, so I signed up for the city I was going to be in: Victoria BC.<br/><br/>It was much different from the enormous Seattle gatherings. We had a cozy gathering in a pub. Small enough we could get to know everyone&#39;s names. We passed samples and pens around, talked about ways to get into letter writing, and had a great time getting to know each other.<br/><br/>I won one of the raffle prizes: a pen from Golem Pens, a new maker who attended the Hub.<br/><br/>#FountainPens #PelikanHub<br/> <img src="https://penfount.social/system/media_attachments/files/115/432/987/317/666/211/original/641a47f5919f95e5.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://penfount.social/system/media_attachments/files/115/432/987/480/675/421/original/6da9dafb21a63d43.jpg"> <br/> 2025-10-25T06:48:40+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdqf5d3545zc7jsp5knky8fcr2t2q25c8r7m34mhh40f8f03rwe0qzyq79ya0d8srsxshvxgadc5erza2uv6pmw5kunww20n3pyhalplfmzem4puw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs022mlu322gh9lszcfjsjl3rlhknugsxd092zhd4v588yfv8ael4qf6mteh'>nevent1q…mteh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I was just there and swear we saw them in at least one store on Winslow 2025-10-25T06:32:39+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsguahdyga2fuslmfvme035345l2lzaelpxy3f4m9we2lf43lsdtnqzyq79ya0d8srsxshvxgadc5erza2uv6pmw5kunww20n3pyhalplfmzltmcut Milestone achieved: used up a 100 sheet notepad of paper.
