In addition to these 8 pens I am continuing to finish the fill(s) in the following 4 fountain pens:

Benu Talisman Mandrake - B - Rohrer & Klingner Solferino

Please let me know in the comments what your pen and ink plans are for April? My color pallet seems to be less bright colors overall than my normal choices but I still have the magenta, teal, and bright green + the blue black Oxford Blue to continue writing with ... but it will be interesting to see how the letter writing goes ... whether I have enough Broad nib pens inked ... things like that. I'll report back in mid-April as to how things are going!!! So be sure to subscribe and click the bell for notifications so you won't miss any updates. Thank you very much for being here!
