Debbie Ohi's Inky Journal

I love the drawing and the ink you used! great demonstration of drawing with a fountain pen, thank you for sharing, DebbieOhi!

TWSBI Eco and TWSBI Diamond AL are among my most favorite, reliable pens. My Diamond AL is green and quite beautiful IMHO. They each hold a lot of ink and the cap mechanism keeps the nibs from drying out. I keep an ECO near my computer which was last inked in January and has performed flawlessly ever since --5 months later. TWSBI makes a quality product at an affordable price! It may not be the pen for absolute beginners because cleaning a piston filler can be harrowing if you're not familiar with pen mechanics but there are plenty of videos online that demonstrate how to do it.

I have the TWSBI VAC 700R that I like except for the nib, fine, that I don't care much for. I just ordered a Goulet Fine Nib that I will use to replace the TWSBI nib with. I will keep you posted on how this goes, but for the rest, I like holding the TWSBI, it fits nicely in my hand and its ink carrying capacity is incredible!

Hi Debbie, hope the book tour was not exhausting - and I am sure it was a success!

Great addition your TWSBI!!!

- I travel (fly) always with my Mini Classic and with Platinum 3776, without any issues. They stay in 2 slot pen case in my purse, I try to keep it upright, but you know how stuff in purses can end up

 

And you know how much I am a fan of your picture stories - this turquoise windy one is no exception

Keep the comics coming. I love your work.

Francois: Thanks! And yes, I'll be curious about how the Goulet Fine Nib works with your TWSBI.

 

Ambimom: I *love* how much ink it holds! While I adore my Pilot Falcon, I have to refill it CONSTANTLY. I am nervous about cleaning a piston filler but happily, my husband has several TWSBIs and says he can help me.

 

MsRedPen: Thank you so much! Both for the advice and the kind words. :-)

 

Amberleadavis: Thanks!
