The color is a bit too pastel for my preference, but then, we're here for the review, not the ink! ;) 

 

What Liz said. 😀👍

Thank you Yazeh for such a comprehensive and so beautifully illustrated review!

 

I particularly appreciate the French artists quotes and the rose drawing.

 

I have this ink and can add-the Ecoqua  Fabriano  Spiral Notebook to the papers that accept Bouquet d'Antan beautifully.

 

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

Thanks for showing this ink so well! I haven't used it in a long time and now I am inspired to ink a broad-italic with it. :)

 

This is probably my favorite pink ink (so far) and among my favorite ink names. I think it looks particularly good on Midori ... or maybe your beautifully loopy 'f' and 't' are beguiling me into thinking that ...

I try my best to find quotes that relate to either the brand or the ink name.  This one was too easy. France and roses, is mon pays du coeur. :)

Most welcome. I'm trying to review the complete Herbin (The classic or Pearl series) lineup. ;)

Keep up with the inspiration and ink up a pen.  :)

It captures the essence of our collective memories, scents. Like Proust's madeleine. :)

It could be a combination of both. ;) It's liberating when I can let the letter breath for themselves and not be necessary legible. :)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
