Hi folks, um, yeah. I joined in 2014 but....left but now I'm back.

 

The name is Weavrr/Weavercat/Liz. I graduated in 2016 with a BFA in Fine Art (Painting/Printmaking) and a minor in Biology. I started out here as primarily a dip pen, brushpen, and drafting pencil user. Which is awesome. However. A longtime aquaintence of mine recently confessed their love for fountain pens and under their guidance I finally made my first starter pen purchase.

 

I purchased a Lamy Safari-F (because my handwriting is tight and cramped) in that LE color: Petrol

 

Whoops. I think I love this. Well, except for the cartridge it came with. It's nice but it feels too light/bright in a blue (which I figured on so I went and spent a penny on R&K's Alt-Goldgrun and a converter because wow) and yeah.

 

And here I thought my dip-nib addiction was bad, this is going to get me into all sorts of trouble. I feel pretty darncool right now writing up my fishing-notes with a 'fancy' pen. Even more so when I'm writing up notes for my Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

 

BAH, all my old posts are gone. I did a review of the Baron Fig kickstarter 'Confidant 1' back in 2015.

 

I would totally share my writing sample but see, I decided to be a bit profane... but polite. So, no sample of my polite profanity. Instead, a sample of the artwork I make with my brushes and dip-nibs in old-old Higgins Black Magic.

Welcome to our little corner of the universe from a pen user in San Diego. I grew up in Pueblo, Co but that was many, many years ago!

Hello and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

Welcome back !

 

The artist will appreciate that the LAMY Safari nib can be removed easily, and replaced by one of several different nibs. Don't be timid about trying them. Neither be timid about writing larger. Play music (Telstar / The Big Country) and see what it does to your handwriting.

 

Write with joy.

Hello and welcome back. Have you ever been to the Colorado Pen Show? I hear it is small but that it is growing in popularity.

Welcome back. I envy your ability to draw. My guess is that bird is a wren -- shorter tail -- in front of a large blooming flower, perhaps on an opuntia cactus or a prickly-pear cactus, so maybe a desert wren (the southern version of a winter wren) or a rock wren.

 

Again, welcome back to the Fountain Pen Network!

Thanks for the welcome back. I have been thoroughly enjoying my pen and honestly, as an artist, it's the inks. It's always going to be about the inks for me. So, expect weird inky-thoughts. ;)

 

I do have a small writing sample I'll post on another thread.

 

@estie1948: Correct, just a little House Wren. Unknown flower as it was more of a....graphic space-filler.

@esterbrook: I have not! Tell me more!

@Herrjaeger: Mmhmm. I band birds so a fluffed up HOWR is a delight to behold.

@Sasha Royale: Yep. Wren. Eh.... we'll see. I do like the swappability of the Lamy nibs so that's exciting!

@OCart: Eh, the location services picked out the nearest town... I'm actually in the Greenhorn Mountains!

@Jar: Wrens. Love em.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
