It all looks so....intelligent.

 

As opposed to what my meeting notes look like. Sigh. Even in my highest levels of college, my most esoteric writings never looked that cool. They were all about the use of hybrid creatures in depictions of virtue on 2nd-century Chinese tombs and some such blather.

 

Nice pens.

Messy 10 minute sketch with De Atramentis Document Black ink in TWSBI Mini Classic pen (with vintage flexible Standard #4 nib), and W&N watercolour.

A lovely piece of work SNAK.

 

Could I ask what the note book is?

This looks very nice, and of excellent quality.

 

I would be interested in a little more detail - maker? And are the pens finely balanced on a freestanding basis or are there hidden "slots" to keep them uniform and safe? :)

Levenger is the "maker".

 

there is this foam like holes that keep your pens upright. this foam is removable if you do not want to use it.

 

seem like good quality, i will see how it stands the test of daily office use.

 

thanks

line, pankaj, AAAndrew, unclepoop, Attila and da vinci, thanks for your comments.

 

pankaj The 1.5mm nib on my Safari is a factory italic nib, one of the bunch of nib sizes I got for my Safari when I started with this fountain pen hobby. I think it is available as spare nib at most shops that sell Safari's.

 

da vinci The orange "note book" is actually just a notebook cover that takes A5 size notebooks or notepads. This cover has two slots that can take notebooks (that open sideways) and notepads (that open upwards) so I find it handy, but mostly I use it for my writing pads for letter writing. At the moment I have my homemade Tomoe River pad, Bung Box special "Bumpy" notepad, and Clairefontaine Triomphe pad in it.

I found the link for it on Amazon Japan where I bought it from. I know there's lots of Japanese gobbledygook on the page, but at least it shows more photos. I couldn't get the translation thing to translate the whole page.

Good luck with your studies, cambookpro and Attila, I spent all my academic life in the humanities field so all the maths and symbols are completely alien to me. But they look good. And that's what matters right? :lol:

 

When I used to have to mark post grad students' essays they were all printed from computers thankfully, but if they had been handwritten and if someone had beautiful handwriting, I would have certainly given them extra super duper bonus points just for that. You would get brownie points for beautiful ink choice and handwriting, if I were your lecturer.

Zaphod Beautiful collection you have there. I hope your office has great security system. :)

 

Troy How wonderful that you have your great aunt's pen! I wish I had a family heirloom like that. It would really mean a lot to me, if I had in my hand something that my relative held and used years prior. I just have to find a long lost relative who used fountain pens! :P

OOooooh, these clear demonstrators and the look of ink inside them soothe my soul. :wub:

My thought excactly. Especially with lighter nuances like Alt Goldgrün, Blu Mare etc.

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      By Ceilidh · Posted

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
