Ships and Shoes

I love ink so very, very much.  I love all the things you can do with ink, and all the tools you can use to wield it.  Recently a dear friend of mine gave me some excellent new dip pen nibs, and I sat down this evening to see how they handled.

...and sealing wax...

She also gave me a lovely stick of bronze-y sealing wax, and a pair of seals, and it's taking quite a bit of will power not to use up the entire thing right now.

I do so love loveliness.
