Does it just have to art or even With ups/musings poems. I may daydream about being an artist, but reality is a mile away. If art is not mandatory, would be glad to add something from here in India.

If you saw my lack of talent, you wouldn't worry. Real art is not required.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I love this topic! thanks for sharing, you all... I've travelled quite a bit, and wonder, in order to keep memories, do you all prefer to use "permanent inks" or do you use just any other ink? I am afraid that some of my precious thoughts and not so great but memorable drawings could fade over time...

Honestly, it's been so long since the TAJ left my house I don't remember what pens/inks I used. :blush: Pretty sure I wrote down what they were, so the pages themselves have the IDs.

It's still on my desk. I have added a few pages but nothing to justify keeping it so long. I'm going to pack it up shortly and send it back to you.

Really sorry to be such a spoilsport. No longer. I will send it back this coming week. Just PM me (again) your address.

(can't find it - sorry.)

If the next person doesn't send you the address, then send it back to me and I'll pass it along again.

I haven't kept track of where it's going next because you had said to send it to you and you would scan what's in there so far; so I was going to send it to you anyway.

Is the TAJ project still ongoing? Can't wait to see the pages and would love to join the fun if still possible. :)

I started working on it and then got distracted so I mailed it on again. DRAT!!!!! Where did it go?

 

M - did I send you any messages when it arrived so that I can look through my records?

 

Nevermind, I had it in hand when I wrote to LuMa on 9/27. Alan has it right now.

OK so at least we know where it is. Do you think you have enough interesting stuff to upload so we can at least see a part of what is there?

      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..

      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
