ironymaideni went through a period of frequent letter-writing, and then life stuff intervened and i got out of the habit.
since Dad has been in rehab since late February (and he loves getting mail) i've been trying to send him a card several times a week. i like to write them with my fountain pen, it makes a little ceremony of the practice. but at some point recently i gave it a whack and it's been not so fun to write with. (maybe i misaligned the lid? can't remember the exact circumstances.)
thanks to a post bycimorene, i spent some time cleaning and tuning up today. these instructions were quite effective and i'm delighted with a return to the ease and fluidity i remember. i've been using violet and moon dust inks, i wish i could figure out where i put the olive and brown. for now i'm loaded up with amber and that is pretty nice.
