MHPhoto -- I suggest that several pairs of silk hose and a large supply of your wife's favourite candy might help you out of the grave you're digging ... you know she'll figure it out eventually. :lticaptd:

Hey tjchervy - Do you have have any problems with that acrylic ink in a vintage pen? I bought some a while back but only use it with dip pens and paint brushes. Do you flush the pen after each use, or am I just too paranoid?

 

Yes - it clogged things up. That was before I knew anything. I now am using J Herbin ink - no problems. I guess I need to get a dip pen to use up the 2 bottles of ink I purchased that I can't use in my pens.

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

Hey guys, the weekend is FINALLY here... what a week... it all ended for me around noon today when my laptop let the smoke out of it and quit working... early out, and no work over the weekend. Yipee! Relaxing tonight playing with pens, cleaned 11 (yep, way overdue) and inked up three...

I have re-invented Christmas-greetings in our home, and must admit that it is pretty satisfying to ship them off, for the first time in 15 years or more.

:W2FPN: Welcome to FPN and thanks for the picture. I have been meaning to try that ink and now I certainly will. Love the light playing on the sheet.

I am no longer very active on FPN but feel free to message me. Or send me a postal letter!

Ok, so since I have been lurking here I notice I tend to match ink to pen color... OCD leaking in I guess, that now means I need to find a red pen to use some of these inks I have in inventory... currently only being used in the demonstrator pens.... Ah well, at least you can all rest easy knowing you are having an effect on me ( and my bank account )...

 

Keep showing all those gorgious pens, awsome handwriting and fabulous inks... as for me tonight....

fpn_1387166096__b.jpg

 

And here is the business end..

fpn_1387166373__a.jpg

and some more sermon notes taken with this pen... this is how I often use my pens, either in my journals, or for notes like these.

fpn_1387166429__c.jpg

and more notes taken with the new Cross using a Cross black cartrdge...

fpn_1387166523__d.jpg

 

I tend to end up sketching on almost any thing I am working on... thus the afinty for the finer nibs...

 

Have a great nght guys..and gals..

Buying some new ink today. I'll continue with the new colors (same pens, though.) I have to wait until after Christmas to show you my Imperial.
