Ok guys. here is a bit of a challange...

 

fpn_1387680561__my_request.jpg

 

I have been using my Lamy Alstar with 1.1 nb and sherwood green... this is a wide nib for me and I a really working on getting the hang of it... also used on cards was my Jinhao with Nemosine 0.9 mm nib which is much easier for me...

Can't wait to see some of the awesome pen and ink combinations you have been using...

 

If you think everything is going well... you obviously have no idea what is really going on!

Oh go on then.

The photo, taken under a desk lamp with a mobile phone, does not in any way do justice to the subtleties of the gorgeous Caran d'Ache Magnetic Blue.
The ink is so well behaved, a joy to use and has a lovely subtle shading quality. It constantly lives in my Tsuki-Yo coloured Pilot Custom 91- F nib.

 

Thanks to a very generous FPN member for the few sheets of Tomoe River paper. It's gorgeous. So smooth and has a lovely tactile quality to it. It feels really fragile but takes ink so well.

(the photo doesn't do that justice either - another time perhaps . . .)

Bulow x750 w/ broad Knox nib, ink is Architect whiskey brown.

The crepes sound like my approach, but I use an 11 inch griddle (cast iron, of course).

Don't be shy, I'm sure we can complete it until Christmas. :)

Hi Amber,

 

thanks for the compliment, but I´m just scribbling a bit.

 

I like your drawings aswell, keep it coming! :bunny01:

 

Observed your recent avatar changes, the current one is great :thumbup: (the spider was also good).

 

 

Your Frosty is quite attractive, I hope this will not end in a cat fight between your and my snow-woman.......

It´s like with real women, snow-women are difficult ;)

I'll gladly add a line, though mine is from the original and not nearly as saucy as zoni's Creole version:

A Christmas plating experiment - one week later.

 

This is a Brause, No. 76, Iserlohn or "Rose" nib that has been gold plated for corrosion-protection and then rhodium plated at the edges and contacts to reduce wear.

 

The first few days were in iron gall but now it is seated, round-the-clock, in an Ahab demonstrator to see if the plating works ;)

Totally besotted; can't stop scribbling with this fella. It's a total joy to look at, hold and use. I'm finding any old excuse to play with it.

Happy New Year people, glad to have FPN back again.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o
    • adamselene
      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
