Since I am just starting out I am using Noodlers Turquoise. Tried the Navajo Turquoise first. Still making a mess but enjoying it.

I had a bunch of pens run dry on me today all at once, so I had a nice time cleaning them and changing out my rotation this evening. Tonight I filled pens with:

 

Sailor Jentle Peche (I know you all hate it, but I'm partial to it) - Mabie Todd Swan with a superflex nib.

Diamine Bougainvillea: first time I've filled a pen with it and I'm IN LOVE. It's in a little Paul W Johnson gold ringtop with a very flexy nib and looks very pretty and appropriate in it.

Diamine Meadow - Waterman 52 1/2 V. Nib's really a spot too wet for this ink. (Which is to say, this nib is a positive gusher.)

Diamine Iris - Mabie Todd Blackbird. Med flex nib which, since John Sorowka did some work smoothing it, has gone from an indifferent writer to something that's a real joy to use.

 

I also did a lot of writing with Noodler's Golden Brown in my month-old Greg Minuskin custom Parker Challenger 1.3mm stub today. I am absolutely in love with that nib.

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

Noodler's Baystate Blue, that's still being emptied from my TWSBI Mini with a 1.1mm Nib. That's all for today.

See with what large letters I have written you with my own hand. GaVIxi
