So far today it's been the Shrek "Puss in Boots" Parker Vector, M nib, still with Robert Oster Bishop to King (such a fun ink).

But have four other Parkers in my handbag for later on, when I have pen club -- three of which were repaired at OPS:

(1) Dusty Rose Duovac, EF(?) nib, still with Waterman Serenity Blue;

(2) Emerald Pearl Vac speed line filler, F? nib, still with Waterman Absolute Brown;

(3) Duofold Junior, Emerald and BlackPearl button filler F? nib, still with with Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black; and

(4) sterling Ciselé 75, F nib, still with Waterman Tender Purple.

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

This is a great nib!

 

That's a nice looking pen there, very nice.

 

Today it's been my Leonardo MZG 'Masterpiece' (no idea why they didn't use the Italian name for masterpiece) in rosewood ebonite with Leonardo Red ink. And yesterday's new arrival; the Scribo La Dotta Yamanaka Onsen inked with Pilot Black. I love the simplicity of this pen, and the urushi laquering looks stunning.

This is a great nib!

And that original Visconti clip is one of my favorites.

I was looking at Reelz on demand last night. It’s mostly documentary material. One was about the Jurassic Park movie. So I’m using my Esterbrook Estie Jurassic with 1.1mm stub nib filled with Levenger Forest green.

Nice! This weekend, Bard College is showing Jurassic Park accompanied by a live orchestra. We saw Psycho with the orchestra, and it was great fun.

Is Leon conducting, or is that a little too middlebrow for him? 🙂

Hi Doug, I would love to do the pen justice in photos, but the best photos are already online, so I'd rather not if you don't mind 🙂

Today I'm using a Lamy 2000 <ef>, inked with KWZ Green Gold, to write a bit about some of the art I saw today (by Joan Mitchell, Agnes Martin, and Ruth Asawa).

I am carrying my Atelier Lusso Carina 15  Olive Agate fountain pen with a matte finish and a steel 1.1mm stub nib. I inked it with Akkerman Groenmarkt Smaragd, of course.

      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
