I replaced the nib of the Jinhao x750 with a 1.1mm stub from Goulet. This happened. Just a few minutes ago. I will remove it again, clean it up and try inserting it better. Could be that. Mess!

Your images just made me spend £10.09 on a bottle of Gray Flannel from The Writing Desk :puddle:

I thinks it's a lovely grey with a slight green tinge.

Lousy photographer, pah!

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

Not much "real" work being done here this morning as both powdered ink and Private Reserve Gray Flannel arrived with the post.

 

How that Gray Flannel flew under my radar for so long is a total mystery. LOVE IT.

Thank you Newjelen for the post / recommendation and also The Writing Desk for such a speedily delivered ink.

That's a nice, grey 45. I don't see that color that often.

I was messing around with my music nib M200 today, trying to get a better feel for it. I feel like I finally made some progress! I'm really happy with how the F in "affects" look.

I'll keep on struggling, 'cause that's the measure of a man.

gweimer1: I really like your collection, no worries on the camera skills. I struggle on that front equally.

 

CaptainBA - The music nib would be fun to write, you should post some pictures of the pen and nib too!

was doing u's and n's with my Montegrappa (that's just how far I got in the exercise book to improve my handwriting). Then my wife popped in and ordered some labels:

Thanks for the comments on the gray Parker 45. I paid only $13 for it, and it looks and writes great. You guys have so many really nice pens. Here's the other two I have - a Duke with no ink (I may get something blue and start using it), and the other Parker 45 I got. I paid a little too much, had to get a converter for it, and have decided that the gold nib is M, not Fine.

The BBQ had passed, but the coals were still had some warmth so I brewed a slow slow Greek coffee and sat down for a quick sketch as the sun was setting.

 

Mmm . . .

Pen: No idea, it says Parase on the side but has a STUNNING Faber Castel No3 nib.
Ink: Noodler's Black - the warm tone was the sun not the ink.

Paper: Seawhite of Brighton sketch book.

Do you think it's just coincidence that they called it the Declaration of IndePENdence?
