Looking great!

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

Thank you! I did a few with the new Proctor's Ledge. You'd enjoy the ink! I'll try and scan them tomorrow. Also, go check out the 366 inks. I've been posting like mad.

So far, it's been pretty sedate and boring: Skrip Blue (in the Cedar Blue 51 Vac, EF nib), and vintage Quink Microfilm Black (51 Aero Plum Demi, M nib).

I might pull out some other pens on the plane, and if I do any drawing it will likely be with Noodler's Walnut, in the M400 Brown Tortoise, F nib).

I filled all the pens for which I had available vials to fill with backup ink for on the plane. Unfortunately one of the ones I didn't have an available vial was Edelstein Tanzanite, in the vintage 400 with the OB nib -- and that was the pen that burped ink into the cap on the flight out last week. So now i have this lovely ring of Tanzanite around the green striated binde from the edge of the inside of the cap. :( Which did not come off with a paper towel and tap water....

In June I left the tray table on an airplane somewhat the worse when I tried to fill out a customs declaration using J Herbin Bleu Myosotis in a Kaweco Sport.

I'm so tempted to wash over them with a brush pen... because I just found out my Kuretake brush pen last night and finally cleaned it up, so I've been washing over my previous writings and CRVs with the brush pen and water. It's so much fun.

Most of those, I know where they came from, but what about Yolk and Silly Putty? :)

 

As for me, potentially none today, but yesterday I was writing with some of the Sailor shop-exclusives I've been rationing. Maruzen Athena Koubai, Ishida Bungu Hakodate Gagome and Twilight Blue...

I think Yolk is a mix - Helianthus plus a few drops of something or other.
