attika89, lovely "scribbles".

 

Diamine Amber eh?

Oh no, not another ink on the radar . . . : )

[phaus]

I need to find me a MB Boutique like that one

I've been doodling with Diamine Amber today.

Attika, is this what you're using? I love the color of the ink in your picture, but the sample on the website looks completely different. Which color is a more accurate representation?

Thank you Tas!

Now that phaus wrote it, I'm pretty sure it is the Sepia and not the Amber as I thought.

Thanks for pointing it out phaus!

Now that you've brought my attention to it, I've checked some reviews and I'm a bit confused.

I've received a few cartridges and the little plastic bag was labeled that way. But it seems to be more of a sepia for me.

My Rotring 600 is really dry, so that can also add to it.

Based on the reviews and the sample it is most probably the Sepia I guess.

Thanks. I guess I'll be ordering a bottle of Diamine Sepia tonight. Beautiful drawings by the way.

Hi everyone, lots of lovelies on display, both pens and writing, and a host of new folks since I last checked in. I inked a pen today that I've not used in a while and, like some of you I'd guess, I wonder now why its been so long since this pen was used.

I love dipping into this thread. I don't own a vintage pen but I get all sorts of ideas for both pens (one day I'll jump) and inks. This one today brought a huge smile to my face. Don't know why but the combination of pen, ink and writing sang to me. It's been a very long day but a big thanks to dcpritch for sharing this and ending my day with a smile!

GORGEOUS pen!

 

I just received this one today. I love this particular Platinum nib style, and the music version was something I've wanted for a long time.

These are some of the pens I use.

ooh. do you keep all of them inked at all times?

[ravantra]

That is a very nice pen and ink combination.

Tanzanite - your handwriting is marvelous!

 

 

[Tanzanite]

Yes I do and these are not the only ones... Perhaps I should not, but I can't help myself. I want to use them. Most of the time I carry at least five in my bag.

[Tanzanite]

Tanzanite - your handwriting is marvelous!

 

Oh, thank you. That's kind of you

[Tas]

Tanzanite, I'm the same!
I have around 15 - 20 loaded up on my desk and 5 or 6 (together with a water brush) always in a pencil case ready for an outing.

 

I used to worry about non starters but seem to have the right combination of ink / pen at the moment.

 

This is one of my favourite expressive pens an Eversharp Skyline loaded with "Black Mike"

I concocted "Black Mike" after stumbling across a gorgeous book called "Everything Is it's Own Reward" by Paul Madonna.

Soooo smooth, wet, and lovely now!

 

Cybaea could you please let me know what type of notepad you are using?

 

Thanks

I'm new to fountain pens, and only have these two that I bought second-hand. I haven't even opened the ink yet.

I've had this pen in the repair bin for a long time. And since I got the new Organics Studio ink today (which I love, by the way), I decided it was time for a restoration.

My Sheaffer No Nonsense finally came... ordered this a while back and took 13 weeks to arrive... Slow boat I guess... but a Sheaffer rarely dissapoints..

 

 

and just because...

 

And it has been a long while since we heard from Eagle, Seagul, Pelikan or the rest of the gang.. here is Turkey, enjoying another new found "opportunity" . I hope you all enjoy a good thanksgiving this Thursday with family and friends, and get an opportunity to give thanks for all the blessings we receive....

 

Here is the FREE pen the seller put in with the delayed ship Sheaffer... thanking me for patience... never saw one of these before... was not expecting much...
