BEAUTIFUL. Loreena is very special, as is your connection to her words. Met vriendelijke groet.

I hadn't heard that music before and it is beautiful. Thanks for sharing a little of your heart.

That part which laws or kings can cause or cure.

Here's what I'm writing with today:

Vintage Welsh pens often have interesting detail at the cap and barrel ends:

Looks like I need an ink with a little more butterscotch color - any good ideas?

 

Troy, glad I could enable you with another ink purchase.

 

Amberlea, does the nib on this Welsh qualify it for "ugly" status?

Finalist, thanks for the information. I think I will get a Platinum UEF sometime in the future.

Thier, WOW!

Not so long, more or less 3 years ... Finding pens on e-bay or other websites, second hand market, ... Sometimes, clients see me writing with a fountain pen tell me that they still have one or another one at home and give it to me as a present .... It can be very quick ....

Uh... I'll be WRITE over.

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

I still don't have a nice handwriting... Ehrrr... working on that. But I can doodle! This is with the blue Esterbrook LJ (so beautiful) I received yesterday (1554 nib). The mediums are scarce and getting expensier! Where can I get a cheap Medium? Dare I say, $5-$10 nib? ?

Oh I had to post this picture of Parker the chocolate brown labrador. My birthday surprise, and to find out the big tough "labradork" is afraid of balloons.

Yes I know he is not a fountain pen, or writing implement, but his name is Parker.

Happy belated birthday!!:-)

 

Yours or Parkers?

I went for "large and in charge" today, a custom (clipless and breather hole-in-cap less) Guider Jumbo eyedropper. It has a vintage flexy 14k nib that writes wonderful. Ink is Diamine blue-black.
