Pay It Forward 2014

[WirlWind]

Any further interest in this one?

 

 

Howdy mate, I sent you a PM on the copper PIF but it's saying you havn't read it?

 

Not sure what's happening with my PM's, maybe it's because I'm still new to the forums and havn't hit a post limit or something *shrug*

 

If it's not listed there, I can email you or something *shrug*

[shudaizi]

Hi everyone, I am almost a month late and I apologize for the delay. I would like to show everyone the generous PIF that I was fortunate enough to receive from FPN user shudaizi. The Pilot Vanishing Point that he had shipped to me (at his own expense), is a superb writer. The line it produces is not too thick for an M nib, nor does it write too wet for my tastes. It is incredibly smooth and the pen never dries out . It is an excellent tool for a student such as myself, and I am forever grateful to shudaizi for this PIF. I will certainly put this workhorse through years of great service!

 

 

 

 

Lots of use for school notes, marginalia, and various critical thoughts.

 

 

I wish my handwriting could be more beautiful, but THANK YOU SHUDAIZI!

 

Peter,

 

Thanks so much for posting pics -- I'm chuffed that the pen went to a good home. You made my day!

I also sent one on the 3rd but it still saying not read as well oh well a couple are keen at least

Ahh, well I'm less worried then. I'm guessing maybe he's just gonna sit there until draw day and then randomly choose one with the PIF mentioned in the subject (or random number).

 

I'm figuring he won't open the PM's unless it's for the winner. Kinda fair enough, at least I know that it's not just me

PIF For Those New to Fountain Pens

 

Here goes my first PIF for my 500th post. So the pen is a Bic Easy clic (mint condition, Medium nib) fountain pen in green. I will include a few cartridges with it (it only takes short standard international ones). A review by a fellow member. No costs to the recipient of course.

So I am offering this as UK ONLY to keep my costs down INITIALLY. This is quite a simple pen that would make a good first FP so if you think you know someone or are someone who would make good use out of it PM me.

 

A few sentences to describe who the intened recipent as well please (I will use this to decide the recipient).

 

If I don’t get much interest by Tuesday I will open I will open it up to everyone (will post on here if I do) with a winner picked next Friday at 12:00 am dependent on at least 3 entrys if not the time period will be extened.

 

Edit: Second thought no Minimum requirements needed.

 

Still here if anyone wants it.

Sorry for the worries guys

 

I have my PMs automatically forwarded by email, so I've actually read each of the entries already, just haven't physically opened the PMs on the FPN site

 

I'll give this another 24 hours and then make my pick.

 

Cheers!

Ahh, cheers for the peace of mind. Again, new to the forum, so wasn't sure if it was something like an email re-direct or not having a high enough post count

PIF for those interested in Calligraphy

 

My first PIF of 2014 comprises two items.

 

First is a copy of "The Calligrapher's Bible". This spiral bound book shows 100 complete alphabets and how to draw them. It has a brief introductory section on materials and getting started but I wouldn't say this is necessarily a book for a complete novice. The book is approx A5 size and is thick & heavy.

 

Calligraphy 1.jpg

 

Calligraphy 2.jpg

 

 

Here is the amazon.co.uk page http://www.amazon.co.uk/Calligraphers-Bible-Complete-Alphabets-Draw/dp/0713665041/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1388947958&sr=1-1&keywords=calligraphers+bible

 

Second item is an Osmiroid Master Calligraphy pen set comprising a pen and 6 nibs (for Italic, Roman, Gothic, Uncial & Copperplate writing). There are 2 cartridges but I don't know how viable these are, plus a squeezefill. Although the packaging is old and a bit tatty this set is "new" and has never been opened.

I'd like this PIF to go to someone who wants to learn calligraphy and is either a new starter or a slightly more experienced novice. I would like the 2 items to go together, but will consider awarding separately if you only want one of them & convince me to do so.

 

Because of the weight of the book this must go to a UK member only. If I award the pen & nibs as a separate item I'm willing to post these abroad.

 

So if you're interested please send me a brief PM with the reason you're interested in this PIF. If you already do calligraphy a picture of your work would be nice, attached to your PM

 

I'll leave this open until 8pm (GMT) on Sunday 12th January.

So, I don't have much to offer, but I love the idea of paying it forward! I just ordered a few vials for ink samples and as soon as they arrive I'll be able to send off samples of Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses and Pelikan Highlighter ink in yellow (they don't suggest using the highlighter ink in pens other than the M205 Duo, though). If you're interested, send me a PM and let me know (:

I'm moving to China in a month and can't reasonably take eight bottles of ink with me, so I'm offering the following inks for FREE in Chicago. I don't have time to ship these, so this is for Chicago locals only, for pick up in my neighborhood (just north of Logan Square)

 

• Iroshizuku Tsuyu-kusa
• Iroshizuku Kiri-same
• Private Reserve Ebony Purple
• Diamine Sunset
• Sailor Sei Boku blue-black
• Parker Quink blue-black

These are all great inks. All partially used but at least 3/4 full, nothing wrong with them aside from being dead weight for me at the moment. I'm taking Waterman black and Sailor Jentle blue-black, all else goes out the door. If one person wants to come and grab all of them at once, that would be easiest for me. PM me if you're interested!

Absolutely brand new to fountain pens. I'm curious to know how all of this works! I have no clue how stubs or flex's write as I only have a couple Sheaffers, an MR and a Safari. I'm writing every single day all the time. Now I won't use anything BUT a fountain pen. Really, really wanting to try some sort of flex pen.
