I’ve got a truly lovely birthday present from my wife. It’s a sea-themed pen painted by herself using nail polish. The base pen is a humble Chinese pen and bears no branding whatsoever. It is from HEMA, a Dutch convenience store / discount retail chain. This present is absolutely gorgeous. I know it’s very hard to give someone a present related to his hobby but my wife has nailed it (pun intended). I wouldn’t be happier for any fancy pen. The nib is surprisingly decent too for such a cheap Chinese pen.
How shall we name her? Based on the theme, colours and bubbles / dots we’ve settled for HEMA Sea Cucumber.
I think this pen goes very well with the Akkerman Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indigo🔗 ink.
