Wow; looks like someone had a great week!

 

I especially love the inks you've decided to pair with the Safair pastels! And the reflection you've caught through the 149 ink window is just... exquisite.

They really do. This is one of the things I love about fountain pens, touching and looking at them is always a joy.

Bad weather + vacations = buying spree

 

I like matching inks and pens, some times I spend too much time deciding what ink to put in a pen, I have sooo many inks :wub: The ink in the 149 is Diamine Amber, this kind of translucent inks look gorgeous on demonstrators or pens that have an ink window.

Well, your dedication and thought really pays off; your combinations are striking!

 

And it seems to me that you've found the best way to get over bad weather. I'll have to keep this in mind next winter.

      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
