Ackerman Pen Revival and Dry Flower Bouquet

I thought I would write a few words about the recent revival of my Ackerman pen. But there is not much to write. I left it without cleaning and with ink inside, some months ago, in a little ziplock bag. I took it out, put it in a water jar for a few minutes while I gathered my supplies. Then I took it apart to refill and just dragged my paper towel through the parts. Re-assembled with ink. And then spent some time coaxing ink out (by gentle tapping and writing - you can see the page where I was doing it on the sketch below. Then I sketched this lovely bouquet of dry flowers collected on my neighborhood walks. And that's basically it. My fingers were very inky after this.
