snak: thank you again. I don't wash over with a brush that often. In case of the eye and the pokemon, it's solid ink :D - with a little help of karismacolour pencils.

This started as a sketch from a tea stain, lol.

Yesterday, after doing sunflower after sunflower, the term ink therapy got a new meaning :D. I'll update, when it's done.

 

eliweisz: Thank you very much for your kind words.

 

Look what arrived today:

28605550804_9471089ffd_z_d.jpg

Bexley Flat Top.

Nib is in F, very suitable for sketching, though, the TWSBI ECO gets most of the work to do today.

A few pages earlier, the Bexley pens caught my attention and I got this one for 62 something US$ on ebay directly from Bexley - they're clearing out their older models as it seems.

 

Very cool work from all of you guys, mouthwatering pens, great photo skills, cool writing, etc. It's hard to keep up.

 

The sketch with the Bexley is again an old concept sketch and you can see how sloppy it really was initially, where I haven't been with the pen yet. Anyway, I think it's good practice for the planned urban sketching :D.

mehandiratta: I thank you very much. I Started this on August, but haven't finished it yet, due to time constraints and the amount of sunflowers. Every time, I'm confronted about such a long time with a sketch/ drawing, insecureness sets in, however, I'm determined to finish it nonetheless, whether I like the outcome or not. Thank you for your encouraging words.

We all would love to see more of ur work

Rediscovering a Pelikan than I forgot I had. It's a Pelikan M300 from the late 1990s (I bought it in a lovely shop in Salamanca, Spain in 1998). It's the smallest, most elegant little pen I've ever seen —only a little over 4 inches long, and slender as a pencil.

 

The M300 is on the far left, with an M400 and an M800 for size comparison:

Thanks Tas... I very much enjoy that mug...

Buy one here...http://deneenpottery.com/

 

 

...and another MUGSHOT....

bit blurry but quick shot... Jinhau 750, Nemosene XF nib added. Ink...Arhitekt Cement Grey

 

 

So, there I was on my last day in Florida before returning to the UK. I'd gone online and checked for retailers and found one in Sarasota, about 1/2 drive from us in Venice. So at around 4 O'Clock my wife, two children all got into the hire car to appease dad and allow him to buy his birthday present.

 

Best laid plans and all that . . . this was as close as I was able to get:

Realo Blue Demo? I didn't know about it until I saw your photos on Flickr this morning. Beautiful! Do you like this H-M nib? I've got one in my ProGear II and feel quite happy with it.

The blue barrel material is a nice cobalt blue in this pen, and there are tiny little silver shimmer particles in the resin/plastic that shine when the light hits them just right. I am wondering if there are any blue ink with silver shimmer in any of the Diamine shimmer inks? I have Herbin's blue shimmer ink but that one has gold particles in it.

I am more than happy with my Sailor H-M nib, too. The ink flow is steady and generous and I appreciate my Sailor nibs from EF all the way to Zoom and more. :)

Have you checked out the sheen with the Majestic Blue? On the right paper and in the right nib, it can look really pretty.

Diamine Florida blue in the 580, and Sargasso sea :wub: in the Delta.

 

Ian

I really hope that you will eventually get your must have pen. With such personal story and history behind it, it will be so special for you and your family. When you do get the pen, you should write up something to keep with your pen as provenance to hand down to future generations.

Wow! You made my day with the blues! I love both, but the Realo is incredible. I was hoping to see one on the forum, and there it is! Spectacular.

Today, I have another Sheaffer Triumph, just can't get enough of these pens. The quote comes from an old penmanship book. I enjoy looking through them for these old pearls of handwriting wisdom.

I can't get enough of your gorgeous posts either!

That is amazing work. The painstaking stroke after stroke of ink lines. I admire your commitment.

The paper appears to take the ink very well. May I ask what sketchbook it is you're using?

The M300 is so cute! I love small pens. I have seen the pen in beautiful orange colour (like the material in Eli's new pen) which was very attractive but I found out that M300 pens don't take the same nib units that M200-M600 pens use so that was a sad discovery for me. Thanks for showing us the nice family portrait. :lol:

It's very special to have something that you pick up physically as a memento of your trip so I feel your pain. :(

I know. :( I was so excited at the thought of having seen a mug on FPN and then flying across the Atlantic to buy one.

 

Ho hum. I'll settle for the two petrified Shark's teeth I found in the sand. :)

Thank you again. I just did a few closeups for examination.

The pokemon is done in a Moleskine watercolor notebook. Not that great, but not bad either. It plays well with water and ink. I got it for free, so no complaints.

 

The other notebook is a vintage diary, I got for free also. I cannot find a lable or any other sorce of origin. What I know though, is that my father bought it to document his sea travels in it.

He only made one quite bland entry and then quit, lol.

Then this page was later torn out and the book was handed to me as a diary when I was a kid at the age of 8. I made a few funny entrys myself and then gave up. This year, I decided to use it as a notebook. I think it was fabricated in the 60s. The cover is green nylon leather. The lock for it fell off at one time and went missing.

The paper is thin but can take abuse very well. It seems like coated of some sorts. The color is beige or eggshell, broken white. Sometimes due to age or storing I get unexpected feathering.

 

Anybody used old paper like this?

Akustyk....Many thanks, high praise indeed. To be honest, I just enjoy messing about with pens and ink.

 

SNAK..... Top idea, and one that I will bear in mind, as I WILL eventually get one of these pens.

 

Decided to use another pen today with a home ground nib.

It's my Arbutus Apollo (one of my top 2 pens), ground to a fine cursive italic, and inked with diamine Iris, another from the flowers range.

 

More "boat" writings today, I'm afraid.

      It's gonna end where 1929 left us: a world war, shambles, and 'growth by rebuilding'. That's the conservative view of cycling history --and the big plan. Even if our generations perish.
    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:49
      Of course trade wars are much, more important than the prices of consumer products. The true intention is to weaken the dollar, so that the Chinese start selling their US held debt. But the dollar being the defacto world reserve currency, it doesn't lose value that easily. So the idea is to target trade through artificially raising prices. Problem is, inflation will skyrocket. Good luck with that.

      In Europe, the only (truly) American produced brand is Esterbrook AFAIK. Tariffs will make Esterbrook products compete on the same level as some high-end European brands (let's say Aurora), while clearly the product is manufactured to compete on a much lower price level.
    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:24
      So let's say you want to buy a Montblanc or whatever. You pay the current tariff on top of the usual price, unless your local distributor is willing to absorb (some) of the difference

      Cappuccino should work. Frothy milk also helps to lubricate the nib. But it has to be made by a barista.

      No replies required to my complaints about the Pelikan. A friend came to the rescue with some very magnification equipment - with the images thrown to a latge high res screen. Technology is a wonderful thing. Thanks to Mercian for the reply. I had been using the same paper & ink for sometime when the "singing" started. I have a theory but no proof that nibs get damaged when capping the pen. 👍
    • Mercian 22 Oct 22:28
      @FineFinerFinest: sometimes nib-'singing' can be lessened - or even cured - by changing the ink that one is putting through the pen, or the paper that one is using. N.b. *sometimes*. Good luck

    • FineFinerFinest 21 Oct 5:23
      I'm not expecting any replies to my question about the singing Pelikan nib. It seems, from reading the background, that I am not alone. It's a nice pen. It's such a pity Pelikan can't make decent nibs. I have occasionally met users who tell me how wonderful their Pelikan nib is. I've spent enough money to know that not everyone has this experience. I've worked on nibs occasionally over forty years with great success. This one has me beaten. I won't be buying any more Pelikan pens. 👎
    • FineFinerFinest 21 Oct 4:27
      I've had a Pelikan M805 for a couple of years now and cannot get the nib to write without singing. I've worked on dozens of nibs with great success. Ny suggestion about what's going wrong? 😑

      Hello all - New here. My Art studies have spilled me into the ft pen world where I am happily submerged and floating! I'm looking to repair some cheap pens that are starving for ink yet filled, and eventually get new nibs; and development of repair skills (an even longer learning curve than my art studies - lol). Every hobby needs a hobby, eh ...

      Perhaps it's like saying Beetlejuice 3 times to get that person to appear, though with @Sailor Kenshin you only have to say it twice?

    • Seney724 26 Aug 21:42
      I strongly recommend Kirk Speer at https://www.penrealm.com/
    • Diablo 26 Aug 21:35
      @Seney724. The pen was recently disassembled and cleaned, but the nib and feed were not properly inserted into the holder. I'm in Maryland.
    • Diablo 26 Aug 21:32
      @Seney724. The nib section needs to be adjusted properly.
    • Seney724 26 Aug 18:16
      @Diablo. Where are you? What does it need?

      Back to FPN after 14 years. First thing I noticed is that I could not see a FS forum. What has changed? 🤔
    • Kika 5 Aug 10:22

      @ TDRabbit, even better would be in Creative Expressions area, subform The Write Stuff
    • T.D. Rabbit 29 July 11:40

    • JungleJim 29 July 0:46
      @T.D. Rabbit Try posting it in the "Chatter Forum". You have to be logged in to see it.
    • T.D. Rabbit 28 July 17:54
      Hello! Is there a thread anywhere 'round here where one can post self-composed poetry? If not, would it be alright if I made one? I searched on google, but to no avail...
    • OldFatDog 26 July 19:41
      I have several Parker Roller Ball & Fiber Tip refills in the original packaging. Where and how do I sell them? The couple that I've opened the ink still flowed when put to paper. Also if a pen would take the foller ball refill then it should take the fiber tip as well? Anyway it's been awhile and I'm want to take my message collection beyond the few pieces that I have... Meaning I don't have a Parker these refills will fit in 🙄
    • RegDiggins 23 July 12:40
      Recently was lucky enough to buy a pristine example of the CF crocodile ball with the gold plating. Then of course I faced the same problem we all have over the years ,of trying to find e refill. Fortunately I discovered one here in the U.K. I wonder if there are other sources which exist in other countries, by the way they were not cheap pen
    • The_Beginner 20 July 20:35

      I have a Conway Stewart Trafalgar set. It was previously owned by actor Russell Crowe and includes a letter from him. Can anyone help me with assessing its value?
    • Sailor Kenshin 15 July 17:41
      There must be a couple of places here to share artworks.
    • T.D. Rabbit 15 July 12:45
      Hullo! I really like making ink doodles, and I'd like to share a few. Anywhere on the site I can do so? Thanks in advance!
    • Sailor Kenshin 6 July 17:58
      Pay It Forward.
    • AndWhoDisguisedAs 6 July 16:59

    • JungleJim 3 July 16:14
      @Bill Wood-- just look at the message below you that was posted by @PAKMAN. He is a moderator here on the forums.
    • Bill Wood 2 July 14:24
      Just checking on a classified section and where we are with that. Many thanks. Bill
    • PAKMAN 29 June 1:57
      @inky1 The software for the classified stopped working with the forum. So no we don't have a sales section anymore at FPN
    • inky1 28 June 16:49
      I am not sure which is the classifieds section
    • inky1 28 June 16:46
