Wow Steve, you are an artist!

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison

Lou, you need a wet pen and a non absorbant paper - a vellum or onion skin are the very best. Tomoe River is second best.

I have been using the oft-appreciated Rhodia and Clairfontaine papers. I have a bit of Tomoe River, and it is nice, but I don't see shading much on it.

 

Oh boy! An excuse to try more things! :) I should dig out the HP and Hammermill and see how those work too.

 

I did just pick up some A4 sized Clairfontaine Triomphe, Original Crown Mill 100% Cotton, and G. Lalo paper to write CRVs on - A5 is too small for those. I'll give them a shot.

 

I have a pen in mind to try, too. Next time I need to fill one, I'll fill the fire hose. (Which is a snorkel, so it only holds a little. It's easy to refill, though!)

Wait.. you said sheen not shading...... Shading is different for me. Sheen is what you will get from Tomoe.

Here's a little "first impressions" I did of Tsuki-yo yesterday when i finally inked it up :)

On my screen, this is VERY similar to how Tsuki-yo looks to me. A nicely shading, but fairly straightforward blue-black.

 

Got my CRV letters in the mail today, will probably fill in my portion something this week.

So many inks, so little time...

Straightforward, yup. It looks wonderful when paired with grey as a primary/secondary colour combination, though. I'm finding that some inks that don't really inspire me will then take on a whole new life when I pair them with an ink that complements it. Since I rarely write with only one colour for a full page because of the kinds of writing I use my pen for and my own love of colour coding, finding nice combinations is super fun and gives me a way to appreciate inks I don't obsess over on their own!

Awww, don't do that. Check the mail. :)

How nice of you!

 

What was November's ink again? I'll probably try that, too.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!

This weekend, I'll write some more with a surprisingly awesome pen that loves this ink. I suspect it's going to love any shading or sheening ink. I had no idea that a tremendously wet, unusually broad Sheaffer Triumph nib could be so much fun.

Afraid I'll be late with my contribution, still taking part but health and other things have overloaded me this month, should have some time this weekend hopefully :) Need to slim down the list of 'things to do for other people. Great to see the contributions so far, it's one of my favourite inks!

      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
