The journal arrived here in Brooklyn on Saturday and has spent the weekend in Coney Island. I shall attempt to mail it to Shiroboshi on Wednesday morning. The person before me did a gorgeous drawing of a fountain pen in it.

Fortunately the hurricane missed us; in March the hurricaine (no one officially CALLED it by that name) blew in my studio window and I lost a book or portraits in FP and a bunch of drawings. Most of my work on paper and books survived. The paintings are waterproof.

The Journal landed with me yesterday evening. I shall get to it over the weekend at the earliest, unfortunately....

And bitterwonder, our pages are....<wow> :)

I'm really eager to see the pages as well. I am also simply dreading having to scan about 200 pages. I'm probably going to have to buy a new scanner after this! ;-)

So who has the journal now? It should have been moving through England and hopefully back on its way to the States by now.

The journal has not as yet found its way to my door.

 

This is probably a good thing from my perspective, as I still have no idea what to write in it...

Okay, it looks like we have a problem. I sent an email to the last person to have the journal and there was no response and in fact the message I sent has not been read yet. Does anybody have any information on shiroboshi? He hasn't signed into the forums in a couple of months and he was the last person to check in as having the journal.

I'm sorry to hear the journal has gone missing. May I add my name to the list when it turns up? I have three Sailor pens and they have the best nibs around.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

That's sad. For those who saw something like it in the journal, here's another attempt at rendering a Sailor Pen in pencil.post-3247-0-58978600-1293038274.jpg

Dear All,

 

The good news is: The journal has not gone missing.

The bad news is: It has been sitting on my shelf for the last few months, woefully ignored.

 

Can I apologise to everyone about this. Since last September, my life has been a bit chaotic. I have been given extra teaching duties, a new field course, on top of a number of conferences, etc. I have been in and out of the country for the last few months, and things simply got in the way.

 

In all honesty, I simply should have sent the journal on, but never did get around to it. Unfortunately, I haven't been on FPN during this time period either (or have had a chance to buy any decent pens), and only picked up when Chris prodded me last week.

 

So, please accept my deepest and most sincere apologies for this. The journal is now packed up and on its way to Moby and should be there soon (its only a few 10s of miles).

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
