Needs to be refilled, but I despise refilling eyedroppers, so I shall procrastinate for one day more…

The two Chinese translations: Go with the first one, which is more lady-like! :thumbup:

Sorry, don't know nothing about Korean!

I know this is going back in time a little (to my last birthday in fact) but i just thought you'd like to know that the name "Tegan" is actually Welsh and means fair, as in beautiful, or white. It comes from the same root as another Welsh name Tegwyn.

BLASPHEMER!!! :P

 

LoL - :ltcapd: Is my photo considered trolling around these parts? Seriously though, I was just in a meeting and the ability to inline photographs with my notes is just too cool.

Niagara Falls, great new pen and ink choice. How do you like the Tortoise? Now I have the music in my head.

My tortoise is very brisk (I hope this is the right adjective), because it has a lot of grey shades to the brown tones.

 

What music is there in your mind? I only know one music that uses Zarathustra's Midnight Song and that's the 3rd Symphony from Gustav Mahler who I adore!

I love the focus on inks of late!! :cloud9:

 

An old standard. :)

A new love - Pelikan Silvexa with 14K B nib.

Another great old love of mine - my Chatterley Ripple. If only I hadn't gotten the delicious B nib narrowed! Why did I do that? WHY???

Lots of great posts, and a whole pile of new folks - I'm so glad this thread keeps going - its always so interesting - and its mainly because of the many folks who post here.

Kudos to Bruce who began the whole thing, and to Manny who first began to write posts instead of typing them. :notworthy1: :notworthy1: :notworthy1:

 

Here's what I inked today. The vintage Carter's Midnight Blue is from around 1942 and, 70 years later, has AMAZING color! There are a couple of other pics on the thread where I first posted these photos, here.

Hi everybody, it's been a while since I have posted in this thread - I've been trying to keep up, though! :)

Currently using:Too many pens inked to list, I must cut back! :) I can guarantee there are flighters, urushi, and/or Sheaffer Vac-fillers in the mix!!!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      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
