Just between me and you, I know of one FPN member who succumbed to desire last week and ordered a Pilot 912 with PO nib after seeing the Strelitzia sketch in Jane's blog. :lol: I plead guilty for sending him the link to Jane's site and pics of my PO nib :P

Thanks for the link - very nice work. I am rather impulsive, but it'd take a bit more for me to order a pen just from looking at pictures. Perhaps something like a claim of artistic ability when one holds the pen. I'm not quite sure even Pilot is there yet, though. :P

Ha, not me! :D

An atilla84 sketch, a napalm pic and a link to this gorgeous site and I was sold.

Oh, Brad Dowdy had a lot to do with it too.

 

As for artistic ability, sketching and writing with the 912 PO nib makes you think you're Da Vinnci . . . ;)

In my first fade tests, I did water tests in the center. I discovered that ink that was exposed to water faded faster than the ink that was just exposed to light.

That is depressing. No lightfastnes at all... Edited by Tanzanite

I agree.

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 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Thanks! Love all of those rusty brown tones.

 

Looks to me like an Ultramarine Blue - Burnt Sienna - Venetian Red combo but after checking Jane's palette it might be "Jane's gray" instead of Ultramarine and some "Lunar Black" added there for granulation.

 

Hi Jane, we're color junkies here too :lol: Welcome to FPN!!!

I love colour junkies :-) There are a couple of wonderful pigments for rust effects that I use a lot. One is a PR101 Transparent Red Oxide (Daniel Smith watercolour) - a granulating burnt orange. That sketch has a lot of Burnt Umber and yes, Jane's Grey. I want to find that in a waterproof fountain pen ink...but may have to make my own as I do in watercolour.

Cheers,

Jane

I got this bottle of ink free of charge when I ordered 2 bottles of Organics Studio inks. I'm not usually a fan of bright green, but this ink is captivating, like an emerald. Also, it has an interesting fragrance! It smells like the soap aisle at a grocery store :lol:

I adore the texture you're getting on the bottom of this. A really nice buildup of washes.

      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
