This week has sunny yellow inks, flashbacks to the Atlanta Pen Show and some unusual pen reviews like the Omas Tokyo, the Faber-Castell Neo Slim and a Wing Sung 5502. If you saw this week’s Fashionable Friday you may have noticed a peek at some nail polish that will be available on Friday so I included the full review here from our favorite polish maven and nib tuner, Dr. Audrey Matteson from Right on the Nail. Best of all, Viking built a paper dragon for the start of Game of Thrones’ final season. I have not watched the series but I can appreciate anyone who builds a paper dragon.
