Actually I just got this pen on Friday, so today at the office I did notice myself occasionally just admiring the pen as I would talk on the phone. I guess until the novelty wears a bit I am going to be a little distracted. It's a stunning piece.

 

It's definately a substantial pen, but unposted it feels perfectly comfortable, or better yet it feels right! Writing is smooth and silky. I got MB Lavender purple in it and the wet rich flow make the ink look like raspberry jelly.

Hey all, I've been too busy to post but keeping up and loving the awesome pens and inks, the fantastic writing, the insightful thoughts (Houston). Here's what I have inked today, shown a bit ago on a different thread:

Beautiful pen SNAK and awesome handing writing!

 

This is what I am using today. 1940s OMAS Extra with Waterman Intense Black

 

 

 

I discovered Waterman's Intense Black today and am gutted I hadn't tried it sooner. A beautiful black with stunning wash washaway tones.

Thanks for your kind words, HalloweenHJB. I doodle with anything at hand, with pencils, markers, fountain pens, in any colour ink. I just got myself a few water brushes so I am trying ink wash too.

 

This is another doodle I did with a fountain pen.

fpn_1425603161__snak-20150305-4250.jpg

 

The pen is a modern Pelikan M101N in Red Tortoise, with a vintage nib put into it.

fpn_1425603234__snak-20150305-4249.jpg

 

This is a 1930's vintage 14K nib in Oblique Medium. The ebonite feed and screw-on collar were made to accommodate the vintage nib so that the nib assembly can fit into modern Pelikan pens with interchangeable nib units.

fpn_1425603273__snak-20150305-4253.jpg

 

This is the nib unit that came with my modern M101N Red Tortoise. Currently used in my M400 White Tortoise pen. The original vintage script style nib and the modern replica script style nib are pretty similar in looks, but the spring and flex that the vintage nib can give you is not easily reproducible I don't think.

fpn_1425603310__snak-20150305-4260.jpg

 

Pen: Pelikan M101N Red Tortoise with vintage 14K Oblique Medium nib

Ink: Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses (Original version)

Paper: Moleskine Pocket Sketchbook (165gsm or 111lb) - good paper for pen drawing, warps with water wash

I LOVE that pen. Where in your house do you keep it? (Heh heh...)

Anyone like Ray Bradbury? Please read "The Laurel and Hardy Love Affair" if you have about 12 minutes.

 

You will not forget this wonderful gem that is largely obscure and sadly, forgotten. http://bit.ly/1DZtL4g

WOW

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

Ehhhh, quite weird lighting...it's gone in hiding out of shame....

 

 

 

 

Just kidding of course, this is the famous case of the missing pic. The reason why we ask folks to upload their pics to our own servers. Use the UPLOAD tab top of the page. Really folks, do that!!!)

What's the trouble? They don't seem to have the 1.1 available, but you might email ASA to see if they can fit one. Otherwise, there are other sources for the 1.1 Jowos.
