@Mookli: You can use milk, especially the fatter coffee-cream as ghostbuster for that Pelikan induced ghost...

Take a small cup, something like an egg cup, do some milk in, let it soak. After a while the milk discolours, throw the milk away and take a new batch of milk. DO NOT rinse with water before, that will only fixate the ink. The sooner you can soak in milk the better. When changing the milk just dab the blotch with a bit of tissuepaper to get the old milk out. Don't rub.

Even my husband was amused by this one.

But why is the ghost using what looks like a Quink bottle instead of a Noodler's bottle?

That's the curse: It will curse all Quink Washable Blue into irremovable staining BSB

 

O the horror of it....

wondering is this one by Wassily Kandinsky himself was the original inspiration for the ghosts?

I like the running horses in the middle.

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

Speaking of running ink (which we weren't) has anybody seen the opening credits to "Marco Polo"?

No postings for a while!

 

OK, not a ghost, but maybe a spirit, Krumpus is the counterpart to Saint Nicklaus, or at least so the mountain folk say.

I guess we needed more incentive to be good than the kids in the US.

 

pen: Lamy Al Star

Ink: Festive Stormy Gray highlighted with graphite.

Thank you! I must report that I have received another ghost but I lost in the middle of my office. I will scan and post it when I recover it. I think it is hiding with the 2015 Fade Test recipients.

Love it. You should start signing your legal paperwork with an Inky-A.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
