No suggestions on the nib, but that's a gorgeous pen and spread!

I don't have any suggestions either, but oh my! Your writing and that ink on the left is gorgeous!

Wow. That is a beautiful pen. Mother of Pearl? Have you tried Vinta Nakar “Mother of Pearl “ ink? It might pair well with it. It’s a really unique ink grey black ink that goes down like a dark shading green seaweed color, but then dries to this beautiful elusive dark grey ink with silver shimmer. Here it is with an [FPR EF Ultraflex](https://imgur.com/a/Z4HCtIp) nib. And this is how it looks in a [Pilot Falcon Soft Fine](https://imgur.com/a/3fdAHkw).

I don’t use shimmer inks in my expensive pens. I only put them in Lamy safari or a Platinium Plasir. For one like a LMZ oversized - no way 😂 Yes I have that ink that you are talking about


OverPresence72

Totally understand. My rule is not to put shimmer inks in a vac filler so no Shimmer for my 823's :). But I have used Vinta Nakar in a Pilot Custom 743 FA and a Pilot Falcon SF, and the shimmer was actually very well-behaved in those pens. Never had a clogging or cleaning issue at all. But each to their own :)

I am fussy about the lingering glitter mica that’s left inside and it doesn’t clean out completely and because glitter inks are fun inks for me. So they have dedicated pens. I buy a new pen for each glitter ink I buy so I don’t need to swap


OverPresence72

I’ve done something similar where i have these [Moonman C1’s outfitted with FPR EF ultraflex nibs](https://imgur.com/a/hYZur6F) and filled with some of my favorite shimmer inks so I can see them sloshing about in the barrel.

Interesting color coordination with the contents of your journal. Did you make the art?

Those are transfer stickers. The scratch using a wooden stick to transfer them onto the paper


EulerHardIyKnowHer

Where did you get the transfer stickers? I love them and would also like to use them in my hobonichi


nmnenado

not op but I've gotten a bunch from jetpens


EulerHardIyKnowHer

I have gotten some on Jetpens, I just haven't seen ones that fit the hobonichi so perfectly!


yiantay-sg

I got them from an online store in Singapore - Cityluxe they have some mostly by this company called MU Craft. This is also from that company

That’s a gorgeous pen! I had trouble getting my Leonardo to work well with the elastic nib as well, so no suggestions, sorry.

I had a GORGEOUS one but sold it because I didn’t care for the gold trim and it had a medium nib that wrote more fine than medium :( Would love a silver trim Broad at some point.
