Chinese Cacography: 快樂 Happy

July 05, 2016 by Kate W. in Chinese Cacography

Summer is officially here. Time to be happy!
A little comment on Scabiosa. It's been maybe a couple weeks, up to a month since I wrote this Chinese Cacography. It initially went down more of a rust colour. Now it's aged to a purple-black. Pretty interesting to see this oxidation process.

Pen Review: Head to Head Comparison of Platinum 3776 Century Sai and Platinum Cool Crystal Rose

June 10, 2016 by Kate W. in Pen Reviews

I've referred to the Platinum Cool quite a few times in the blog so it was a surprise to me over the past week when I realized that I had not yet done a proper review of it. As I discussed here, this was one of my first fountain pens.

At the same time, the Platinum 3776 Century Sai had entered my pen collection without much fanfare. It has, in fact, quickly become one of my favourites in the past couple months. So, I thought I could do a double pen review with a Platinum pens head to head comparison.

My First Fountain Pens (Part Two)

February 05, 2016 by Kate W. in General

While the Vanishing Point was awaiting shipment from the shop, I settled in to watch more episodes of Goulet Q&A and Fountain Pen 101 and then came across this video of the Platinum Cool.
