Enjoyed using my Parker Golden Pearl inked in the remaining Parker Sapphire I have.   Just needed to be a bit special today.

The Golden Pearl is such a special pen - I understand!

  Today I really wanted to look at cobalt, so I used my Wing Sung 618 14k EF inked with Diamine Thunderbolt.

That's a favorite color. 👍

Looking forward to some writing samples if you have the time.... 😀

MB 146, early 1980s, fine-to-medium monotone nib, with MB Midnight Blue, which this pen likes much more than the Salix I had in it a couple of weeks ago.

   I took my Jinhao 82 mini to the store today. I also inked up an inexpensive Chinese piston filler with a tiny bit of Wearingeul Robinson Crusoe that I added gold mica powder to- it’s so pretty!  😍

Today's pen is a rare (?) Ancora Perla in blue cracked ice and silver trim with Bexley 18k fine nib and Private Reserve Tropical Blue ink. I reviewed the pen on FPN in 2009.

Last day with the Lamy Safai Candy Violet because it's now out of ink and off to the cleaning box. I want to add another photo first because I swapped the standard nib for a black one and think it looks good with the purple. 💜

I forgot to post my pen of the day. I used the Platinum Plaisir Black Mist with F nib filled with Noodler’s Blue Nose Bear ink.

  I’m using a TWSBI Eco 1.1 stub in Slate Blue and Onyx. I like these PVD coated nibs, they’re interesting. I put some Diamine Fir and Fog in it, from this last Inkvent, and boy is that ink wet! It’s a dry writing pen, the last ink felt rather squeaky in it, so I thought it would be a good match, but I might have to add some distilled water to it next time, it feathers on Filofax paper marketed as fountain pen friendly. Nothing else has almost one month in.

Fired up the old 149.

Most of the day I used a Conway Stewart 15 with Pelikan Brillisnt Black, and then tonight I’ve been using a Kaweco Sport Black Piston Filler with Asa Gao.

Thank you. Photo taken with my phone. I post photos in hopes more people will do the same, especially of unusual or rare pens.
