Trying a sample of Caran D' Ache Magnetic Blue and I am a big fan of this ink's performance. As far as color, I always like smoky blue-blacks. Need to try more of the Chromatics.

Iroshizuku Yama-budo, in the grey Decimo, F nib, and the unknown (and fairly diluted at this point) black ink in the red Parker 61, M nib -- I'm guessing it might have been plain ol' Quink Black.

Jotted a note card this morning using a dip pen and a Esterbrook Radio 902 nib - old bottle of Waterman's Florida Blue.

 

Getting ready to ink up a Parker 51, fine nib, with Pelikan Blue/Black. Will be my carry pen for a few days.

I just filled one with diamine's shimmertastic purple pazzazz, and I have diamine steel blue in my '51

I am the tarot reading, bookworm, whiskey drinking, witchcraft practicing, old fashioned writing, aunt Beasty in my family and I love it. Tarot readings for sale or trade, especially ink as I've lost all of my pen stuff from a bad burglary last year. And I need penpals! Anyone interested, please PM me!

For work I'm using Pilot Blue Black cart in a Prera (I'm stockpiling empty cartridges so that I can refill them to use in my Elite 95) and a Hero 616 with Sailor Kiwaguro. For amusement I'm using Iro Syo-ro in a CH 92 and Sailor Rikyucha in a Ranga 4C.

Yet another Sarah.

Iroshizuku Ajisai, Robert Oster Caffe Crema and Noodler's Kiowa Pican have been brought out today. Ended up keeping my new baby inked with Caffe Crema. Ajisai is my favorite ink but I want to use up some of my samples.

I put a spell on you..✨

Today's ink is Pilot Iroshizuku Beauty Berry(or maybe De Atramentis Magenta Violet) in my Fine nibbed Pilot Metropolitan, which I consider my work horse!

      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

      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

      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
