Papier Plume Ivy Green

Recommended Posts

Hi FPN! I was recently in the Crescent City on vacation and of course, I managed to find the pen shop...

Papier Plume is an amazing little store that sells its own calligraphy and fountain pen inks in sizes that range from $5-$12, so very affordable. I was tempted by their amazing pen collection but somehow managed to exhibit enough self control to leave with only one bottle of ink: "Ivy Green".

Below is my review (I can't draw, please forgive the fleur). I don't have a scanner available to me, but I think I got a pretty clear picture of the paper. Also, your roommate tends to look at you funny when she comes home from work and you're at the kitchen table rubbing Bombay Sapphire and Nail Polish remover on a piece of paper with your index finger, FYI.

Overall, I would really recommend it. You can find their website here and they have an online catalog: https://www.papierplume.com/

They are! They were very nice and exceedingly patient with me when I wanted to try different pens/inks! Next time I'm back I'll stop by again.

Thanks for the review. Just don't use the Nail Polish Remover in your Gin and Tonics.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
