🧸 I really love House at Pooh Corner! It makes me happy!

*I've also failed to praise your fantastic expressionist sketches, but that's because I'm a professional artist and thus refrain from commenting on fellow artists' works in public (unless they're my students)

You're one of the people about whom I told my husband a number of years ago that I don't have as much ink as SOME people (the other being Amberlea Davis) and his response was, "This is NOT supposed to be a competition!" Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

I'm going to continue using a new Pilot Explorer fine White filled with Diamine Evergreen.

Well, it looks super festive and cozy! I can imagine curling up with a good book and crossword puzzle and using the pen while snuggled within the blanket.

Diamine Evergreen. My pen ran out half way through writing something with that so I inked the Explorer to continue. A bit Christmas too.

Reading the first post here shows I was wrong. Amber was not a murky ink fan.

Today’s pen is the Retro 51 Winnie-The-Pooh with 1.1mm nib filled with Levenger Forest green ink.

I used the cartridge that came with it to start with. It’s close to empty. What will you use?

That was my goal! It’s a blanket I got from Michael’s last year. 😊

Hi Ruth, it is modern, with no matching nib. It has a silver tone nib. I have one with matching nib, the champagne gold color. The other three have silver tone nibs.

Welcome to our Happy Pen Place!

I'm using my Parker Golden Pearl pencil today for Fun!

@Misfit -- Is that a "modern" Plaisir, or one of the older style ones with the color coated nib "matching" it to the barrel color? I had one of those early on and after a couple of years the coating started to flake off the nib.... I think I ended up just tossing the pen in the trash. I was really disappointed because I'd read on some thread here that Platinum made the "best" nibs.... Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

I have one it has replaced my Derwent Presicion for daily use although the Derwent is still my favourite.

Tried to replace the 51 Flighter with a different 51 (a Kullock) but it's having technical difficulties, so instead I inked up the new JiF-Waterman Super Cartouche with Waterman Inspired Blue. The large 80mm glass cartridge took 2ml of ink with room to spare, and the 18c no. 6 nib is a joy -- smooth, controlled, fine and moderately flexible. The pen is big enough for me to use comfortably unposted and I prefer it that way.

although that's hard

Been a Parker day for me: the recently restored Dusty Rose Laidtone Duovac, F? nib -- still with Waterman Serenity Blue; and the Midnight Blue (?) Parker 45, F nib -- still with vintage Quink Permanent Blue Black. Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

Thank you. I think it's a slightly different blue than the CC, but still beautiful.

Montegrappa Elmo 01 with a steel broad nib. A new colleague saw the pen and complimented me on it. It surprised me somewhat as it is one of my EDC workaday pens. - She tried it and liked the weight and the wet broad nib (I had had it tuned at the London Pen Show - without which it was a useless writer).

Thanks for the information. It was a bit hard to tell which (or both) on my screen. Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
