- Place the fountain pen nib fully into warm water. Flush the nib by twisting/untwisting the converter until the water runs clear.
- Allow 1 day to dry.
- Fill a new colour by fully submerging the nib and feeder into the ink, then draw the ink into your pen but twisting the converter until you’ve reached the top position.
Notes:
- For heavily saturated inks and darker tones, or clogged nibs, you may need to soak the grip/feeder in water overnight
- It is normal for some air bubbles to enter the converter when refilling ink
Once Upon a Design
Notable design details:
- Peter Moss intentionally incorporates the ornate, curvilinear style iconic of Art Nouveau, a whimsical art movement that was also deeply influenced by nature.
- Playful frogs accompanied the Moss brothers throughout their journey, and Peter made sure to include them in his book—perhaps they're eager to try their hand at painting?
- Always looking ahead, Peter's personal copy is chock-full of notes for his next big publication. What types of plants or animals would you like to see Peter Moss take on next?
