Finally got my hands on the 20 pen collectors box. Found it at the NYC boutique at retail price since its outrageous on eBay. Beautiful and really compliments the pens inside.

Thank you Specialk0449.

 

A quick shot inspired by Tom.K s pics, not too many flowers around here this time og year though.

Beautiful!

I'm impressed that there were any flowers at all in this pre-bloom season.

The crispness of the focus, the saturated nib colors, and the superb blurred bokeh background combine in a great image.

Thank you so much.

Thank you very much Tom, the only flowers here at the moment are snow drops and vinter Aconite (hope i got the names right), and i hope they can survive the cold arctic weather that´s on the way.

This ink is seriously running out in the Adelaide store I got it from, There were plenty of UNICEF inks but down to the last 2 for this one, well make that last one when I left the store.

Not really a purchase. Went to the boutique to pick up my Le beatle. The nib has a problem. Chatted with my dealer and he gave me a bottle of beatle ink :)

Now thats service! Oh and he gave me the funny case where the pen was shipped in

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
