Festivus came early this year, and here's my new addition to the stable of vintage Watermans: A "Copper Ray" "Ink-Vue" with a stunningly flexible nib.

 

Sorry for the crummy cell phone photos...

DingDingDingDingDing! Today, I'm having fun with a birthday present... OK, I've been having fun with it most of the week, but I finally stopped long enough to grab my camera...

The Schrade Tactical Pen

Yes, you can sign your legal paperwork afteryou kubotan the bejeezus out of some *BLEEEEEEEEP* who desperately deserved it... The nib is fine, and a little springy, so, your signature can even have your accustomed flourish...

Honestly, I have only used the writing aspect of it; hope I never need any other purpose, but, it does have the feel of a solid tool...

 

It fits my grubbies quite nicely (comparable in size to a TWSBI 580), and lays down a great (albeit fine) line. Not too wet, not too dry. Not flexy, but, while a springy nib, it is overall quite a solid pen. It does weigh down my shirt pocket a bit, but, I am definitely digging it!

Be forewarned... I will eye-bang the bejeezus out of your pens...
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn...

Today my hand just won't work as I want it to...I'm only mocking with dip nibs anyway, but this is even worse...

I should really practice more...

This ink is just amazing on the Canton Satin tracing paper!

A Lamy Nexx M and a Sheaffer Prelude 342.

 

I bought the Sheaffer today from Amazon India for Rs. 2350, which I think is a great price. It is an M nib but lays a rather broad line, which I expected. Inked with Diamine Sargasso Sea. The ink stands out well on paper but there is considerable bleed even on my Rhodia notebook.

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

Indeed! Due to 00Photo's patent, I submit a significant variation on the design, in the hopes that there is no case of infringement... ;)

 

Celebrating the end of the semester --research papers and finals have been graded, and grades have been submitted to the Registrar. Now to let the Holidays begin in earnest --with the yummy new "Copper Ray" Waterman Ink-Vue, some Garuda Rood ink, and the bubbly inspiration fluid:

I'm with Claudia... the rasberries are a nice touch. I think the entire scene is drool worthy.

I like the zentangles. And the pen. And the glass of libation.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.
