omegabeth Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Hi, everyone, WOW there are lots of fascinating threads in the community! I have dabbled in fountain pens off and on for years, but during the pandemic have doubled down into the hobby, so that if I’m not typing, I’m using a fountain pen. I have maybe 10 pens, totally—a couple of Lamys, a Conklin a Waterman, several random-unknown things without easy-for-me-to-recognize marks, the vanishing point Namiki I bought as a Father’s Day present and then reclaimed when I found it unused in my father’s desk a decade later, and my first real ‘I WANT THAT’ pen, the Benu Chameleon ‘Graceful’. It’s currently inked with Levenger Skies of Blue; inks and fun nibs are my next expansion areas... Excited to learn from you all! -beth Link to post Share on other sites

Bisquitlips Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Welcome! Glad you are with us! Congrats on the Benu. They are facinating pens. And inks are a journey in themselves. Shading, glistening, every color you can imagine. And when you put them in a clear demonstrator like a TWISBI Mini-Vac (very reasonable in price) and see it sloshing around in there it can be addicting. Hope to see you posting a bunch! And feel free to ask questions. Lots of great, friendly, and helpful people around here. Link to post Share on other sites
