Great printing, Joe! And how 'bout that sheen!

How small of all that human hearts endure,
That part which laws or kings can cause or cure.

Thanks! The sunlight really brings it out. You can even see a little sheen on the BSB.

That is one beautiful pen and it pairs well with the Midori too.

Totally Ditto!!

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

I've only recently discovered that there's fun to be had with Diamine registrars ink.

I have it in 3 different pens, and it looks different with each pen when put to paper.

Change the paper, and everything changes again.

 

Magical stuff. :thumbup:

Finally had the time to snap a few pics of the Scriptorium Idyll.

I´m still trying to get used to the Pendleton point. I had expected a stub-like writing experience, but this one is without doubt a cursive italic, and thus quite a bit scratchier than I´d expected.

Inks like J Herbin Cafe des Iles and GvFC Hazelnut Brown are bone-dry and useless with this nib.

Diamine inks on the other hand work very well.

The pen itself is fantastic, and looks way better "in the flesh" (you´ve heard it before), but the writing experience is sooooo different from the other Scriptorium pen, which has a wonderful smooth and juicy medium nib. That takes some getting used to.

 

Please excuse the rather drab Photos.

The camera was a phone and the lightning a gloomy gathering of thunderclouds.

I just got my Diamine 150 year Blue Velvet last night. Had to ink up a couple of pens. I also decided to finally use the grey Estie. It still had the sticker on it, but since it's both a common pen and it's engraved, I went for it.

No way :D I LOVE the pen. I just have to figure out if the nib needs adjusting, or if it´s all in the ink.

But I can only encourage you to give in to the temptation.

This thread is going to lead me to financial ruin! In less than a week I've discovered 4 pens I never knew existed before to add to "the list". :o

I consider this thread the travel brochure for the slippery slope.
