Frowning, she pulls a feather from her own wing and whittles the end into a nib with a small pocketknife with a colorful handle. Then she rummages on a table to produce a small vial of ink, the same uncanny leaf-green as her eyes. She dips the pen and traces the veins that run down your left forearm. The sensation makes you shudder. In some spots, the ink feathers and she scrutinizes its patterns.
Your quill pen was handmade from a humanely sourced turkey feather. Each one is different and natural variations are normal. It is accompanied by 2ml of high-quality green ink. Note that there is a small area of textured cross-hatching on the underside of the pen nib. Make sure that the ink saturates that area so that it can flow from the quill as you write. If your quill becomes dull, you can re-sharpen it with an emery board, small knife, or embroidery scissors.
Quill Pen and Ink was featured in the Feathered Witch Box (April 2024). Cup and paper in photos are not included.
