Lennon Tool Bar Mesona Tea / Serendipity Hybrid Dip Pen ~ Day 12 of

No drinks, just inks 😉

🏳‍🌈 Also, Happy Pride Month!! 🏳‍🌈

This ink is pretty interesting. When wet or laid down thickly, it seems like molasses, but after it dries, it looks more like a watercolor wash of taupey-brown ink, sort of like if one was using tea as a watercolor.

Alas, as is likely for the remainder of the month, this is a smoooooth JoWo steel nib, so the only #ASMR here is me fumbling with notebooks.

As always, thanks for watching, and I appreciate you sharing some of your time with me!
