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

Me not being into pinks (who has anything against pinks?), it's just that that ink colour never really fascinated me. I try out newer versions, but until then, I still see no real increase in good offers... Now a blue or blue-black even with a drop or two of pink... , that might in fact fill the kitchen sink....

But wouldn't a blue with a nice pink hue, actually be purple?

Lapis, I think it's your fault I bought this ink originally because you showed us how it looks so different depending on the paper and pen.

I think we can all agree on this:

 

We are bored. (Or we just love writing for no reason.)

Tes rires retroussés comme à son bord la rose,


Effacent mon dépit de ta métamorphose;


Tu t'éveilles, alors le rêve est oublié.



-Jean Cocteau, from Plaint-Chant, 1923

Not exactly, what you see is probably Hypergraphia.

 

 

Famous Hypergraphics
  • Danielle Steel
  • Edgar Allan Poe
  • Fyodor Dostoevsky
  • Sylvia Plath
  • Joyce Carol Oates
  • Stephen King
  • Isaac Asimov

And a sample from Lewis Carol (though not with YB ink).

Hypergraphia sounds very fancy, but temporal lobe epilepsy, mania, and mental disorders don't. I'm going with "struck with sudden creativity".

The first was pretty.

Please remember that the images on my paper are much smaller than they appear on your computer. The "Small heart is about the size of a US Quarter". The goal is for the reader to believe the writer a romantic not a psychotic stalker.

 

AD - all your drawings and sayings are beautiful. The hearts are just.............well...........hearty! Thank you. You have not only provided inspiration but raised the bar on this endeavour.

 

Don't rule psychotic stalkers out. Some of them write a mean love letter.

Egads, no reason you say? Love, endlessly exciting, is all the reason. Give of your love and I shall ne'er feel the sting of ennui. I melt at your words, they fill my soul; your breath captures me; you beat the drum of my pulsing heart.

 

Bored indeed.

Example for your edification................

 

Here is tutuguan of a romantic letter that -

 

A - Has an image of the person you are sending it to -

adding another dimension to this form of romantic writing.

 

B - Is written in 'remorse code' - where you go back and scratch out everything you wrote.

This gives you a certain liberty as you know no one will be able to read it.

That's obnoxious, as if I was the recipient of the letter I'd spend a good few hours trying to decipher what was scratched out. :P

This is a poem I found Written by Leo Marks after the Woman he loved was killed in World War 2. Marks was a code maker for British agents being sent to occupied Europe. Poem codes were used.

 

Marks gave this poem to Violette Szabo code named Odette. I wrote this poem on a card to the one I love:

 

The life that I have

Is all that I have

And the life that I have is yours.

 

The love that I have

Of the life that I have

Is yours and yours and yours.

 

A sleep I shall have

A rest I shall have

Yet death will be but a pause.

 

For the peace of my years

In the long green grass

Will be yours and yours and yours.

 

Odette was captured in France by the Gestapo and executed.

 

A more romantic poem I've yet to find to give to one you love.

 

They came as a boon, and a blessing to men,
The Pickwick, the Owl and the Waverley pen

Sincerely yours,

Pickwick

      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..

      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
