Nice selection of pens and inks.

 

Today I shall be using...

 

Conklin Duragraph with their omniflex nib.

Pilot 823 with a broad nib.

Visconti Homo Sapiens with a fine nib.

 

All pens carry Noodlers Heart of Darkness

 

Happy New Year, all. Is there a 2019 thread?

So far today it's been a Parker Vacumatic Junior (Green Shadow Wave Speedline filler), with an F nib, currently filled with De Atramentis Tchaikowsky/Silver Grey; and the black ebonite Noodler's Boston Safety Pen, flex nib, with Noodler's Luck of the Draw.

At some point today I may need to pull out a calligraphy pen. I need to do an exemplar of some text which will then be transferred onto edible wafer paper taped over the exemplar on a light box).

ETA: The text will be trace over using paste food coloring, to make the paper still food-safe, but I may just use a brush for that. Not sure I want to put even diluted food coloring into a pen, because the food coloring will be diluted with either vodka or food-grade rosewater.

The selection of the day: Lamy 2000 with an M-nib filled with Visconti Blue; Osmia Progress 94 with an F-nib filled with Pelikan Black to reduce the enormous ink flow; perhaps I'll clean and refill the F-nibbed Parker Duofold (2016 version; big red).

 

Really enjoying all three of those pens!

Tonight will be the first actual outing for the blue M400 I bought at the end of 2017 - swapped the M nib it came with (why I never used it after initial test) with the EF from the red and inked with Stipula Dark Blue.

Today I used a Platinum 3776 Bourgogne, with a broad CI by Pendleton Brown, filled with Monteverde Horizon Blue; a Pilot 823, broad, filled with Sailor Souten, a Pelikan M605, with a medium CI by Pendleton Brown, filled with Iroshizuku Kon-Peki; and an Aurora Ipsilon, with medium nib, filled with Delta black.

Tonight, my blue-stripe M400 with Stipula Dark Blue (a perfect match, btw). If anything, the blue is even more severe than the grey Stresseman.

A Pelikan M140 with extra fine nib, inked with Pelikan Brilliant Black.

That's a good looking pen.

First run with HS Lava Bronze Age oversized. It has a stub nib, and gushes ink. Smooth as silk. Much heavier than any of my others, including a couple that I hardly use due to weight. Despite weight, it is so comfortable. Love the feel of the Lava. It does have a slight skip. I think that is mostly the result of my not being accustomed to the nibs corners. It is fairly chiseled for a stub. Love this pen.need a drier ink perhaps.

 

And, of course, I also had my every day of my life Pelikan M605, with a M Pendleton Brown CI. I dont leave home without it.

Catching up on my journaling with my Waterman Perspective Blue Obsession.

Have just inked up a broad nibbed, Visconti Opera 'cherry juice', with Diamine Imperial Purple....mmmmmm.

 

Also inked a TWSBI Vac 700 carrying a 1.1 nib, with Blackstone's Black Stump, which arrived today.

Isn't it time for 2019 thread?

Anyway, today’s weapon of choice:

Graf von Faber Castel Classic Ebony - one of my first ever fps I still own. Trivial Pelikan Violet ink.

Pelikan 400 with flex nib - just to make sure I still cant use it properly

Test drive with Noodlers Ahab - well, bad idea.

My girlfriends Pelikan 140 with GvFC India Red - incredible writer, but too small

TWSBI 580al with J, Herbin Cafe des Iles and 1.1 stub nib

My wirts attemp in regrinding a nib - Jinhao x750 grounded from M to stub. Suprisingly nice nib. I’ll write a post some time soon about this try.

Love my HS Lava Bronze Age oversized, with 1.3 mm stub nib. I had it filled with Asa Gao. This very wet pen gushed. This very saturated ink was nearly black. I cleaned that out and filled it with Diamine Blood Orange. I love Blood Orange in my Pelikan 100 EF. But, it looked anemic in this HS stub. Cleaned that out and filled it with Monteverde Ocean Noir. This ink yields a tighter line than Asa Gao. The nib is just as smooth. A sweet writer, with an excellent ink.

 

And, as every other day, I’m using my dark blue Pelikan M605, with Pendleton Brown M CI, filled with Kon-Peki.
