I know my pictures are blurry but I really like my new pen caddy from Big i-design.

That's pretty darn cool.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Triangle, really digging that pen caddy... nice...

 

Ptero... sorry I have not been able to participate, very busy at work as of late.. dang work getting in the way of life again! here is a quick skecth to get you off the continent... apparently Turkey has "borrowed" some of his uncles' equipment...

 

The pen is a COPPER ROD Hero pen with a soft fine nib.. unfortunately it really does not like the R&K Sepia I loaded it with... back to noodlers next time...

If you think everything is going well... you obviously have no idea what is really going on!

Ever wonder what a Pelikan looks like in a thermal picture? ....and guess what/who I found hiding.

 

Pelikan Madrid



This one is a.... Toledo?
This one is in blue and green. The same Toledo. The metal does give false temperature readings.

An eye for insignificant details is a good sign you will do just fine in medical school...

As a sharp wit and powerful sarcasm is a sign that you already have.

Can't say I ever did, but now that I have seen it it is way cool (ugh, bad pun not intended) :) :thumbup:

 

Thanks for sharing.

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

My order of Organics Blue Merle arrived yesterday. Wow.

A beautifully behaved ink that's an absolute joy to use, reminiscent of times past but somehow really modern at the same time.

I, love it!

 

Tyler, thanks for pulling out the stops for me (and for the bonus RRB)

 

A quick sketch of my withering money plant but more to come.

I've really fallen for this colour and am keen to write up my first review - just not sure exactly how yet.

Organics Blue Merle
Wahl - gold thing (no idea what it is) with an equally mysterious flexible but beguiling Eversharp nib.
I bought it from ebay and found out that it belonged to the seller's late father. He used it for "special" letters but she had no use for it. :(

Hi Tas,

 

Looks really great.

Did you ordered it direct from the US?

I guess the shipping was almost as expensive as the ink, isn't it?

Unfortunately "The writing desk" has only the "Elements" inks and not the full range.

I hope this will change, or the number of sellers increase in Europe.

I'd never seen a Marbie Todd combo before! I need to replace the sac. I like the fact it has a full size eraser hidden under a screw cap on the cap. I dip tested it in Hero red to see how the nib writes. It's nice and flexy, but a bit a scratchy...

Increase your IQ, use Linux AND a Fountain pen!!http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk11/79spitfire/Neko_animated.gif

Yes, from the US.

I saw their post on here and Facebook and fell immediately for the Blue Merle.

After swooning at yet another dcpritch post I added Brown Boron to make it worthwhile and Tyler from Organics kindly threw in a bottle of Red Rubber Ball to boot.

All three are fantastic colours and inks. The red Rubber Ball has, as I've just mentioned to another FPN member, gone straight to the top of my red ink faves. The shipping for all three was $15 - very reasonable I think.

 

I hope Organics comes across the pond. Together with Blue Manganate it brings their total to four fabulous inks in my collection.

 

 

cybaea - drool. That Churchill looks sumptuous.

 

Attika89 - what a beautiful rock!

 

plistumi - thermal photography? You loony, I love it. :lol:

Love your nib shots.

 

You're right, the memories make it very precious, very special. :happycloud9:

Very Interesting thermal pictures. Very funny to see!

Amazing sketch and lovely color. Thanks for sharing.

 

 

 

Nice MB and handwriting and your nib picture is amazing.

MB with obb nib is my graal.

I just update my blog with a poem by Fernando Pessoa (Portuguese poet) written with my vintage Montblanc 344.
