10,000 posts, 334 pages in two years. I love how people complain that FPN is too much about "help me find a great black ink" and not enough about pen use. If 10,000 posts doesn't answer that question in a topic that is CLEARLY about using our pens (with a little fun included...), I don't know what would. Diatribe over.

...and, since my Gin's 51 ran out yesterday (those vac 51's NEVER run out!), I pulled out a pen that's been waiting patiently, my Edel.

Zookie, I love your handwriting. It needs to be a whole handwritten novel.

Haha, cute story. I really like Fuyu-Syogun in my Konrad since the flex nib reaaaally shows off some pretty shading. A friend of mine has a bottle so says he'll refill my sample vial when I'm out because he doesn't use it often. :cloud9:

 

(ps: got the stationery in the mail from you today! :) )

Glad you liked it. The F-S is a nice ink. Enjoy the paper! I like your snail on top of the last image, it was fun.

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

I prefer Habanero to Apache Sunset. Looks beautiful on that paper with your writing.

:) I keep trying to come up with Inky TODs, but I post more on this thread than on my those.

You guys know how much I love this thread.

 

Matched only by how much we love your drawings. Thanks for keeping me inspired. :thumbup:

Diatribe over.

 

Well said. I wish that those who might complain would see what you've written, but I'm afraid that with 10,000 posts they might get distracted and end up buying pens and writing with them, and maybe even taking pictures and joining the fun. :)

Happy to get post 10013!

 

Got a vintage Duocraft in the mail today. Loaded it up with Diamine Oxblood. Freaky music nib --as you can see. Lots of fun!

OOOO OOOO I just inked up a great combo. The nib is from LahLahLaw. The ink is KWZI #17 and it is as bright as BSB.

Wow! That is lovely. A platinum MB 146 with B nib has been on my wishlist for quite a while. Absolutely gorgeous!

 

Not platinum, just a B/W pic ;)
