Lovely writing and awesome ink!

 

Sheaffer's advertisements during the Triumph wartime era were simple, but effective. I can't think of another pen that represents their slogan better than this one

Great pens and inks

 

Whenever I see an alt-goldgrun sample I ask myself why I haven't bought some.

 

Any chance of a full pen shot of your Mina? I always admire Ernest's work

 

These all look like 1.1 nibs to me - would that be right? Your handwriting has a nice style to it.

I was the same way. After I got my Pelikan Vermeil Green Tortoise, I was looking around for a nice ink to match it, and I thought of Alt-Goldgrün. It's perfect. The shading on Tomoe River is awesome.

I take back what I said about purple inks. Just look at that! That's Sailor Shigure and a broad italic nib. Lovely, isn't it? (Ignore the rubbish handwriting of course).

 

The other writing is Pilot Iroshizuku Yama Budo. It did not want to play nice with that dip nib.

Excellent pen. My desire to have my own Mina becomes increasingly!

And I just love your handwriting!

It's good to see your robot, Coop.

I've never used Sailor Jentle Blue, even though it's been available forever. I tend to focus a lot on the four seasons inks by Sailor but that standard Jentle Blue is nice with great saturation.

 

I think the robots are still partying on, because nobody told them to stop, and they don't need to rest unlike we do.

Here's my robot.

 

 

 

 

Pens:

Franken TWSBI Vac 700 Smoke with a vintage Massag dip pen and ebonite feed, using De Atramentis Document Black ink.

Pentel Brush Pen refilled with Platinum Carbon Black ink.

Paper: Handmade Sketchbook using Arches 300gsm Cold Press watercolour paper

Thank you! :)

Weekend project: Building a tray out of an empty cigar box, I acquired recently.

In it:

Lamy Al-Star (EF - currently) Waterman inspired blue - used for sketching

(My first attempt at urban sketching in Moleskine Watercolor Notebook)

TWSBI ECO (EF) Waterman absolute brown for filling out tax forms - meh!

Visconti Van Gogh Pollard Willows (F) Waterman absolute brown for practicing Kanji.

 

Funny I always think the ECO is a small pen, but it isn't.

Enjoy your weekend!
