I need that Lie de The in my life!

 

Just guess which ink stick I've been twiddling today.

It really seems to be an Omas Arco material for me, but I'm not sure.....Looks amazing!

 

Today, iin addition to my Yard O Led Grand Viceroy Barley, I've taken my Parker 51 ...

Lovely sight!

Oooo, that ink. It looks like the sort of olive green that I have been seeking. What is it?

Fountain pen novice. I am aquiring pens at a frightening pace, I am afraid it might be an addiction... I see I am not alone here on FPN! Latest acquisitions - Platinum 3776 Kumpoo with Diamine Eau de Nil, Opus 88 Koloro inked with Diamine November Rain, Franklin-Christoph Model Pocket 66 prototype inked with Franklin-Christoph Honeycomb.

David.

The ink itself is "Pen & Message - Cigar". It's made by Sailor, but only available in Japan (Sailor has a lot of store exclusive inks there, there is a whole thread about them). It's been out of stock for a while though. It will only be available around March...

No need to be concerned about your handwriting! ;)

I hope the problem with your HS will be solved soon!

As for TWSBI-s, they really worth a try!

At the moment, I can't afford an Eversharp Doric, but I like the shape so I ordered a Wing Sung 2007 Lucky (all of 8 USD). It was dry and scratchy so I adjusted the nib and it writes nice and smooth now. I'll post a sample later.

Caran D' Ache has some of the finest nibs on the market, IMHO, and some dazzling Swiss design. Sometimes I think the brand is a bit under lauded so let me sing their praises today in Infra Red = perfect for a rainy Friday.

Using My Parker Vacumatic inked up with BungBox 4B in class today.

Those who hurt me were not only someone else,

but also those who pretended not to notice. It was my friend.

Sorry the picture is fuzzy. Here is the new color for the Dallas Pen show.

 

fpn_1443215019__20150925_140056.jpg

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

VERY nice combo, FinalEleven.

Thanks! I spent the entire night last night cleaning it out completely and I had trouble deciding on what ink to use in it. I currently really like Bungbox 4B so I decided to fill it up! The ink change made the pen a winner for me. Did some good work in class today haha.

      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

      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.

      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.
