Still waiting on one West Coast judge. Will stick with plan "A" and announce tomorrow (July 3).

 

I will be involved in back to back events through the noon hour but will announce as soon as possible after hearing from final judge. There are a lot of contestants in the balance; this has been very tough to judge ... I am sure you agree.

 

Sweet dreams ~

Well!!! I am gertting close and am about to announce the winners on http://www.victory915.com

 

I do not know the top three as yet, but the five finalists who have risen to the top in the final stretch of the judging calculations:

Night Wing, Swavey, hlyuqi, SMK and mliptrot

 

It has been very close and all entries were treated with great respect and a lot of "ouching" to have to eliminate so many lovely entries. One judge used the word "Harrowing" for the experience. But the contest itself has been the glorious thing; the final top 3, just the icing on this delicious cake.

 

 

Winner to come soon. Tune in if you wish, or check back when I can post the top 3 winners in a while.

 

 

All smiles & very grateful to all ~

I've been excited and constantly refreshing the thread as I couldn't get the radio player to work, but I'm honoured to be mentioned in the final five - walking with giants. Thank you.

Congratulations Swavey and hlyuqi.

 

This was indeed a lot of fun, both in coming up with the compositions and enjoying the creative talent of others.

Congratulations to all!

 

I thought I had a chance there for a while, but as the entries rolled in, that confidence was replaced with a sinking feeling as I saw the bar rise higher and higher before my eyes.

 

The entries were simply unbelievable--true works of art. I was really glad to participate.

 

I hope we have more projects like this, even without a prize, it was a wonderful experience!

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

      By Misfit · Posted

      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
