Oooo.... pretty

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'm using Noodlers antietam today. I have some personal notes to take. So I can use one of my favorite reds without concern for co-workers needing to read my writing.

R&K Salix

Noodler's Fox Red

Aurora Black

 

A bit boring compared to what's out there, but they are all good business inks that don't draw too much attention.

 

I am getting to really like Salix - it's a great shader. It's displaced Visconti Blue as my everyday note taking ink.

My latest two inks are Waterman's Serenity Blue and Noodler's Apache Sunset. I love the shading on the Apache Sunset. Here are two examples below (#17 & 18).

Hello, My name is Silas.

 

I am 18 and have a love for collecting fountain pens!

 

I am trying to expand my collection of pens, inks, papers. I love both new and old.

 

To get an idea of what I am working with;

 

As for inks, I am a big fan of Noodler's Inks!

 

I am trying to expand my collection of inks, I would love samples of inks and papers! I have yet to try any of the great papers I have read about. I would love to gain experience in using all I can get lol. As you can imagine the fountain pen hobby is a bit pricey for a kid my age! But I love it, and we all start somewhere.

 

Thank you to all the wonderful people on here for all the great reviews, help, and knowledge I have gotten from reading. And especially all the generosity I have witnessed and experienced in growing my knowledge, experience, and collection!

Today I used:

In my morning journal: PR DC Supershow Blue -- Platinum Plaisir (M nib).

For making a To Do list (while still in the hotel)Noodler's Kung Te Cheng -- Konrad (flex nib) and Quink Black (Midnight Blue Parker 51 Aerometric, (probably F nib).

For a bit of general note-taking: R&K Salix -- Parker Vector (F nib).

So, four differnt inks in four of the pens I had with me this weekend (the other 51 Aero, the Plum one hasn't been flushed and tested yet -- I mostly had it to show it off to people; and the Parker 45, which also has Quink Black in it, appears to need to be refilled).

Admittedly, I did use the proffered BP at the hotel desk when checking in, simply because I was really tired. And I did use a Uniball pen for inking the drawings I had to do on Saturday....
