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

A lengthy update this morning, such are the sins of not updating more often. :P)

 

I've been experimenting with making my own ruled paper, this was done with Open Office Calc, which allows me to specify line density and width much better than Excel, I have the 2000 or 2003 version thereof. For those who wish to know, the vertical lines are 0.5 points wide, 20% black; the horizontal rules are 1.0 points, 30% black, printed on a Brother 5250DN laser printer. If anyone wishes a PDF of it, let me know, I'll e-mail it.

HI everyone!

 

I've had a 75 hour work week during which I would much rather have been playing with fountain pens and posting here. I am sooo glad Friday is here!

 

I inked up a rare Conklin "Halloween" ringtop with J. Herbin Orange Indien, in anticipation of next month's popular celebration.

Thank you! I just went to Amazon and looked. Is it this one?

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

It worked great! Great flow and a smooth nib straight out of the box (well, plastic wrapper...).

 

I got to thinking about it and I realized that of the five cheapo Chinese pens I have I've never had to alter the nibs. I've got two Heros, two Baoers, and one other that I can't remember the name of.
