Mini Monday: Tono & Lims, Diamine, Robert Oster, Pen Saijiki

Hello everyone and welcome to the start of a new week! I have been working from home since last Monday and have felt a bit cooped up/stir-crazy. I’m combating the boredom with Animal Crossing: New Horizons and ink reviews! (The last time I played Animal Crossing was back in 2014).

Today’s batch features my custom-made Hardy Pen Wrights fitted with a Jowo <M>. Suki is doing well—we are in the final stretches of blowing her coat. She’s as mischievous as ever—possibly even more than before.

My favorite ink this week would have to be Robert Oster Cosmic Swirl. I just love how the color changes as the ink dries.

I have eyebrows now!
