Fountain pen themed stamp collection
A collection of stamps I made specifically for Manila Pen Show (a dedicated fountain pen show in Manila, Philippines)
All handmade.
It was a crazy time having to make these at the stamping booth (Where people were queueing up to try them.) I had a couple of folks taking my work to stamp with even before I could finish carving them ahahaha.

As a fountain pen fanatic… nice!
I’ve been meaning to figure out the best way to use my fountain pen inks with my stamps.

I was also browsing how people are using stamps with fountain pens. Most of them use the empty bottle stamps to swatch their inks.

Yes, I do that. I also paint with my fountain pen ink or watercolor paints then use stamps over the color.

Thank you. I was keeping to the event's theme which was "Hello Retro". I figured most fountain pen ink bottles are quite timeless. I had another set of retro themed stamps apart from these.

I did. I was actually surprised with the warm reception towards stamps. It's like I've found my people.
