I haven't looked, but perhaps there is a washi tape forum! In the meantime, welcome to Stationery Addicts Anonymous (or not)! 

 

Acquired more sticky stuff myself, not just tape but stickers too. 

 

Lol, point me to it!  😝

 

I really have been using washi tape at an astounding rate.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

A quick few page google search for a washi tape or even stationery addicts forum turned up no dedicated forum. Only a thread here and there... craft forums, diy forums, oh! reddit has an r/washitape !!! Oh my, some lovely gilded washi there... Someone (not me) posted a picture of 498 rolls! I wonder what the conversion rate is between ink and washi!

After an 8 year hiatus, I got to thinking about this wonderful group tonight and how much I actually missed it. I lost several of my pens in the move back to Ohio, and a couple of bottles of ink also went missing. I did however order me a cheap vacuum pen from Wish.com and a bottle of Noodler's General of the armies. I have yet to ink up a pen as I am waiting for my pen that currently holds Pelikan 4001 to run out. Anyhow, sorry for the long response, Hello everybody!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
