That’s so cool! I’m impressed at how sharp your lines are with a dip pen (so presumably ink) on homemade paper. I would have expected it to feather a lot
Due to how handmade paper works in general… The amount of feathering varies wildly from page to page. From my testing (it’s only been a few days so take it with a grain of salt) I’ve found it’s best to use a nib size a little smaller than you actually want to use. That way if it feathers out it turns into the size you want to use.
