Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using, *show* Us!

[tringle]

Pens I used today

 

Visconti Homo Sapiens

 

Primer pen

 

Gucci pen with a great 18kt medium nib

 

Rhodia paper, I ran out of letter sized today and went to the stationery store and missed them being open by ten minutes. It was a nice walk from my house.

 

Troy

 

PvtToter - I feel your pain, I spill ink regularly. Usually its from my 13 month old lab who likes to jump up on my desk to get my attention.

The Sapphire blue looks like a good strong blue. A safer alternative to BSB perhaps?

 

Best regards,

Steve.

 

P.S. I'd like to be within walking distance to a source of Rhodia paper! Or, maybe not!!

I've been using my new W56 nonstop. :cloud9:

 

Plus it's HUGE… (at least compared to the rest of my collection )

 

It's about the same size as the Ebonite Noodler's Konrad.

HA!!.. my first thought (before reading).. "What a great grey Ink.. it has not blue or purple undertones.. is pure grey.... wow!!!"

 

 

BTW, your writing is lovely akustyk.

dc, don't worry, soon it will be lovely in Northern Minnesota and it will be 100 degrees for 30 straight days here in Dallas.

 

You know Rev, I want to believe you, really I do, and in my gut I know you are correct, but the weather here us making it very hard to reconcile.

 

Taken this afternoon - my son gathering sap during today's blizzard, for making maple syrup:

 

 

OK, sorry for the pity party. How 'bout I get back on topic?!

 

Here's a Sheaffer Targa 1003 I'm sending to a friend in Sweden tomorrow, his first fountain pen (using R&K Verdigris, which I forgot to mention on the writing sample):

Using the AHAB alot these days with the Baystate Blue... like the combnation, but started looking how to modify the nib for better flow and came acros Pterotdactyls nib mod for better flex on another thread, anyway, here it it AFTER,

 

I adjusted the nib position a bit for flow, and made the mods to the nib (grind) for better flex... REALLY NICE now.

 

Some doodles from the AHAB BSB combo...

330 + Diamine Syrah - perfect combo!

The nib was super-smoothed for me in Tennessee by Tyler Dahl.

It's springtime! Yellow pens - brown ink.

 

I'm sorry the beautiful brown ink doesn't show properly on my photo. And my spelling...!!!

Uncle Red, here's the situation: Its April 15. We got 19" of snow on Friday, 6" last night, 8" expected in two days.

 

Pterodactylus, I love the smoothness of your writing. Honestly, when I see writing like yours, Stompie's - I could keep going down the list - it is inspiration for me to keep at it.

 

Steve, maybe we'll have to work out one of those house swap things. I think we are both wishing for a little of what the other has.
