Coop. Loved your apple rant. Here is my response??? If you want to call it a response, haha.

 

 

I suck at drawing, but you kind of inspired me, so I gave it a go anyway :)

I received my very first fountain pens in the mail today, and was excited to submit something to the thread. Please forgive the horrible appearance.

I was digging around the sample room looking for an old pen case or something to hold these new fountain pens. I found an interesting one sent to us years ago from a pen vendor with slots for 18 pens. They sent it filled with their various ball point pens designed for imprint. Now, I got a ways to go to fill this thing up.

Very nice pen case. I like how the pens are spaced further apart and have elastic holders on both ends. Nice

It is a nice purple, but with a little more blue in it.

Wow, that sheen is dramatic.

Currently I only have Sky High (with also nice sheen), it seems that I have to take a closer look on these Sailor inks :)

This evening I tried again something (for me) new.

 

I bought a box chalk-pastel pencils as I liked the charcoal pencil and thought the handling might be similar.....and indeed they feel similar.... I like them :) .

 

First scribbling with the new chalk-pastel pencils.

Pterodactylus. Stunning.

 

You obviously have no further need of your lovely fountain pens so please can I have first dibs when you get rid of them :D ;)

 

Really stunning.

Keep an eye on your pens. They might start hanging with the wrong crowd.

Got some pads of Rhodia R (line and unlined) in the mail from gouletpens.com, along with some J. Herbin Le de The. The look of brown ink on ivory paper is so me! I'm in love.

I got 2 new pens and tablets. You all know what a Kaweco Classic Sport demonstrator looks like. I did find a Waterman 5 with a Red nib at a good price.

Here are the 2 new tablets, both are B5 size. I used the Campus Wide for the messages above and the Life Expert for the Waterman 5 write up.
