EDIT: Added the writing samples -- well, kinda writing. Twenty-odd years of college and working in the medical field took it's toll.

Taking a break from work to play around with semi flex a little

[Oldtimer]

Well, I couldn't post a pic... I have not being able to upload a file since yesterday? Is there a problem with size or something? I made them 1500 Pixels and the longest size and they are 133 Kb only. Anyone having trroubles uploading? I think Not!

 

Update: It seems there is a limit to uploads! I didn't know that! Better to keep files small, then.

I got this same pen today, same color. But I can't do flex... Did you do some modification to it? To the ink?

Looks very nice!

@elevennx not sure about model name, but it's parker vector line. Got it for £1.99 from the works (cheap stationery shop) lol!

My friend bought me this Manuscript pen for Christmas. It writes well enough but I'm just itching to upgrade to a smoother, more free-flowing italic nib. (The nib isn't gold btw; it just looks like that because of the lighting here)

...aaaaaand DONE!

 

 

 

I had to cheat and use a color pencil on the sand. I used orange Pilot mixable ink, but it was too bright, so the yellow pencil was able to lighten it up. Now they are off to Coto de Caza, Socal.

@finalist wowza! Clark Little's wave photographs are stunning, your inks bring pictures to life!

Finalist: You know I LOVE your artwork, but I was transfixed with angst and amusement by Notrosie's prose!

I've never seen the green Lamy and I really like it.

This thread is always an inspiration... except when I'm drooling ... then it's a messy inspiration. Thank you all for sharing.

It's pushing 100° and there happens to be a pub next door to my local train station. Tis a hard life.

It's pretty hot, here too.

We had a conversation about this via PM, but I'll copy-paste some of my responses here in case it helps anyone else:

 

Hi! I really hope you're enjoying it. I do find that I do have to press pretty hard, yeah. I can't do flex work for toooo long or my hand gets sore. It's possible that your nib is stiffer than mine. I like mine where it is, stiff enough to do normal note taking but flex enough that I can have fun with it, but maybe consider doing the "ease my flex" mod! If I get another Nib Creaper (or a Konrad, maybe), I'll almost certainly mod it and use it with less serious inks.

 

Hope this helps! I don't have the means right now but I could even take a video for you later demonstrating how flexy my nib is.

 

I find that it is worth the effort as I'm still able to do a page or so of flex before my hand gets too tired. It did take me some time getting comfortable flexing the pen as much as I do!

I put some pictures of what I have done on Flickr, here:https://m.flickr.com.../125653183@N03/

 

There's image one showing the line variation I get, and on a Rhodia dotpad so hopefully that helps for scale.

Couple of Camlin 18 and 22,s. Changed the nibs, First ink test.
