So it doesn't get lost in our Pen Show thread, we wanted to make sure we posted here that this year's Chicago Pen Show is going to feature three exclusive inks.

 

There is KWZ Chicago Blue, a dynamic blue that shades and sheens, commissioned by the pen show and hand-made by our friends at KWZ Ink.

Also, and limited to only 60 bottles each, are two gorgeous inks mixed up by our friends Papier Plume of New Orleans: Ivy 108 (another Cubs tribute) and Lake Michigan Blue (think C d'A Caribbean Sea, moved just a little north).

 

Images of all three inks are up on @chicagopenshow on Instagram, on the fountainpenfollies.com blog and Instagram, and on Chicago Pen Show Twitter.

We'll have pens at the pen show, too, of course. At last count we have 109 vendors coming, filling all 164 tables. Plus three days of seminars, workshops and demonstrations; see chicagopenshow.com for the complete schedule. We hope to see you there!

This is wonderful! Thank you!

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

Sorry but this is just too easy.... better scoop up those bottles of Ivy 108! It may be another hundred years before it's available again.

Oh, no worries, I'm laughing with you. If you think the same thought hasn't occurred to all of us, you've never met a Cubs fan. We were convinced we were cursed, and it wouldn't take much for that pessimism to return. :)

I won't be able to go. . . And it sounds like so much fun!

 

Please share lots of pictures and color swatches of the inks so that those of us unfortunates who could not attend can attend vicariously.

 

Thank you.

There may have been ten Plagues of Egypt, but we have plenty of our own. Billy Goats, Bartmann, Cardinals, Lou Brock, White Sox. Now ink?

Except, the ink is a good thing. Unlike almost all those things you mention. :)

 

*The White Sox are fine. Even though they usually seem to beat the Cubs in inter-league games, I like them anyway.

      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
