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

Got a Pilot Parallel yesterday from my friend (1.5mm)! First time trying italic today (I just looked at an example lol). Where could I learn properly (preferably for free hahaha)?

Great! We're back online again. Thank you to those of you fixing the FPN site!

 

Waiting for the network, I played with some of my vintage toys:

Hi all, we are going to have a lot of catching up to do! I wonder if everyone has missed FPN as much as I have?

 

Three cheers for Wim who caught FPN just as it was slipping over the precipice and, with Herculean effort, set us back on stable ground.

It took a little bit longer as expected to post my response

 

@dcpritch

Indeed, good to have FPN back, I missed it also

Let´s hope it stays online this time and perform good

Oh, it's good to "see" you here again. I've really missed the network. Thank you FPN Admin and Moderator Team

 

for fixing it!

 

Thank you, Pterodactylus! Nice pen and ink! I have just ordered a Pelikan 400 with OBB nib, my very first broad nib. I'm really looking forward to try it

I went to my first pen show over the weekend. The Chicago Pen Show. I met so many genuinely nice people! I was there specifically to find vintage flex nib pens. My wife and I browsed for two days and found these. I underestimated the difficulty in finding nice wet noodles. We must have looked at thousands of pens.

Cleo Skribant?

Good Lord. They've got some lovely pens.

[dcpritch]

Uncle Red, thanks for the concern. I'm doing ok, and the snow is even melting some.

 

I inked a few pens over the past few days since I had some extra time:

 

 

00Photo, I soooo wish I could have made it to the Chicago Pen Show! It's the closest show to where I live but still 8 hours away. Maybe next year!

(edited to add: if I'd been there I'm sure I would have been racing to the bank this morning to cover an unhealthy level of expenditures. Looks like you made quite a haul!)

 

Prvt Toter, great drawings! I've had days like that, more than I'd like to recall.

OOPhoto, those are some great pens! You certainly know what to do with them. BTW, is that a Waterman 12 or a 12 1/2?

 

Yeah Ken, Cleo Skribent makes some really nice stuff. I'm loving the Classic.

 

DC, glad to hear you're well. Given how much snow was on the ground melting is for the best. Did you watch the FP Geeks this last Sat? Dan said they were still getting snow in Iowa.
