It's my favorite color - along with being Irish!

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

This is THE BOOK to start out with. I am not sure if there are any more in production. The second photo shows a page sample. Third photo is a card I made many moons ago when I started getting interested in pens ( I made many of these). and the last is a sample writting ...dated a few years back". my first pen was an osmiroid ,still own it.

I started out with Fred Eager's book as well. My first pen was a Platignum Italic Set, and I still have it, too! I also have the Osmiroid set, and a couple of Sheaffer sets. :D

The third and final wave drawing. It's a combo of several photographs. I'd say this one is 98% FP and ink, but all the white is gel pen or pencil.post-109445-0-15054700-1406683778_thumb.jpg

 

Here are some earlier stages up close in different light.

Superlative.

I'm nearly speechless.

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

This the tattoo cuff I designed myself and had put on my left wrist a few years ago. It is inspired by the illustrated manuscript "The Book Of Kells", and is a double triptic symbolizing the Christian trinity and the concepts of faith, hope and love. The two cuff ends finish off the Celtic knot work with stylized dog heads in honor of my current pup, Winston, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I call them cute and cuter. I consider it a permanent doodle!

So.... what inks are those.... :lticaptd:

I was really hoping someone would ask so I wouldn't have to. But if I was going to ask, I'd probably be most curious about those blues and greens. Just saying....

I think 'mansion' would've been a better word, instead of 'hall' though. Sorry... :blush:

 

@Finalist, the wave drawing of yours turned out beautifully!

I think you should draw a picture of the mansion..

I don't get on with Lamy Safaris but your image and combo almost makes me want to pick up a white one and give it another go . . .

Welcome. :)

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
