Pay It Forward 2014

[KBeezie]

Well I guess my one complaint about the Conway Stewart Churchill set is it has. A hondurian Churchill. I am guessing primarily due to the us Cuban embargo. Gee i wonder if there are any Cuban fountain pens?

 

If there are, they were probably Russian to begin with.

Go to "Upload" at the top of the page, needs a PC.

I have posted pictures here on both tablet and phone and that works.

Well, no. I rolled once. I just rolled 216 dice at once.

Omg, flashbacks of being kicked off of AOL for dice rolling,lol.

These are some of the oriental fabrics I have.

I'd have to pick the Lotus at top right considering I have a tattoo of an abstract Lotus with a healers hand symbol

One day left to enter!

 

My first PIF!

 

I have a Fabriano EcoQua pocket notebook (3.5 x 5.5 inches, dot grid) and a 2-3ml sample of Sailor Jentle Peche.

 

The notebook was part of a multi-pack I recently purchased, and the ink was a free/bonus/surprise sample in a separate order. I love the paper, not so keen on the ink (not a color I can see myself using at any point). I don't hear much about this paper, and want to share the love

 

It's open to everyone. Enter by PM to me (please include your address) and I'll draw on Friday, April 25 around noon, Eastern time.

 

Only four entries so far. I will happily ship anywhere (courtesy of understanding employers).

I love the whole idea of PIF, it's great, especially seeing how you end up harbouring things you might never use again, I know I have a few things just lying around. Rather than collect a lot of pens I accumulated a lot of inks since I started using FPs. I went through a period thinking purple was my signature colour, but use it a lot less than I thought I would. I would like to PIF a bottle of Rohrer & Klinger Cassia. It's a 50ml bottle, I've used some but I believe there is at least 40ml left if not more.

 

As for rules -

I'd like it to go to Europe.

 

I'm not too bothered if you've recently won a PIF, it's your decision to enter.

 

I would love a line or two motivating the entry and I'll pick someone I find suitable.

 

The winner should be announced around the 25th this month.

 

 

LAST DAY BUMP

LAST DAY BUMP

 

I already have a bottle of R & K Cassia otherwise I'd enter this PIF. It's a beautiful ink. So if anyone is wondering about whether to enter, don't hesitate. Have a go.

Agreed! Also, I only have one entrant from Europe currently!

So, I am going to make a 4 Pen Wrap using this fabric and PIF it.

Can people PM me if they wish to apply with reasons why they'd like this wrap. New fountain pen users (min 30 posts), students etc will be given priority.

 

See further discussions about my Pen Wraps here - https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/240284-pen-wrap/page-6?do=findComment&comment=2969903 or PM me.

Thanks Kidde! PM sent

[mhguda]

Thanks Paul, greatly appreciated. I've sent the PM before I posted this...

I love a new pen, and I especially love one I've tinkered into working (again). Thanks for the opportunity.

If you ever want a similar challenge, just say the word... I can oblige!

Kbeezie:

 

I just about dropped my phone when that photo opened up! I did make a squeek sound that startled my dog, though!

[kidde]

Kbeezie, is that one of your head shots for your modeling portfolio? I do agree that thumbthing is wrong with my face, but after seeing yours I feel much better!

 

BTW I have never seen a septum so deviated!
