Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using, *show* Us! - 2016

[max dog]

Beautiful! And in my pursuit, I found myself with this one:

 

I like my Sailor Medium just as it is. The Parkers are flattered and send their best regards

 

Great job with the Soft Fine nib! I've got a #3776 SF too, but in my hand, it's not so soft. Love it anyway.

 

 

I DO love this ink! Have to try it one day.

I don't know if it's the pen or your handing writing that is more impressive here.

Your penmanship is beautiful!

I hate to be a pedant on the "Don't just tell us ..." thread after seeing such awesome artwork ...

... but where's the pen?

Since you find the artwork to be so awesome, I'm sure you won't mind seeing it again.

Using a Waterman 52 Red Ripple to practice my Dutch. [ik ben het Nederlands aan het leren, en ik houd van sprookjes en volksverhalen.]

I am really thrilled to receive a PSP Zayante in the mail today. It's so gorgeous! Beautifully made, too. The design is perfect for my hand. I ordered the pen without the nib/feed unit, as I am sourcing a 14k nib separately. I wrote the text below with a Preppy.

 

The pen came in a nice, little box, along with a complementary pocket sketch book. Thanks, Peyton Street Pens!

Ah! Fantastic! You've made an old(ish) man happy.

Thanks for that.

I just love aesthetic appeal, whether it be for pens, nibs, handwriting, ink, or art-work.

It all gives me great pleasure.

I only wish that I had even a fraction of the talent.

 

Do you post your artwork on any other threads? If so, I might have to expand my horizons.

 

Cheers,

David.

Thanks, Andrew! Great handwriting, and the colour is so pleasant.

Hope to get my Registrar's ink next week. Ordered two Blue Pumpkin nibs, too - will try to compare and (hopefully) to combine 'em with Rustica.

Haha, glad to have rectified the situation,and thank you for the kind words.

 

I do post my drawings on this thread I started for my doodles: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/289131-my-sketch-dump/

That's a great looking pen. It's very balanced in my opinion.

Can you post some more pictures along with some size comparisons?

Thanks!

What feed are you using for the Swan nib? The original feed, or the one from the TWSBI, or something else?

I use vintage ebonite feeds. One of them I had to cut shorter, the other one fitted perfectly. It is not easy to find old ebonite feeds to fit these pens... I've read on this thread that you can order ebonite feeds from some Indian webshop. I think it was Snak who said so.

 

I find the feed from the vac mini to be very good, even though it is not ebonite. It looks very similar to the feeds from 580s, but for some reason it seems to give better ink flow than the other ones. The original feed from the vac mini actually fits the Swan nib perfectly. The reason why I changed feed on the vac mini is that the original feed creates more railroading than the ebonite feed when flexing the nib.

These KWZ Inks are gorgeous! I was really tempted by Honey as well, but when I went to their website I couldn't find it or figure out how to order.

 

Do you know if the Green Gold is at all similar to R&K's?

The KWZ Honey is a really sweet one! (I can see it in the inquiry form at kwzink.com. line 4306)

[sakayume]

Ooh! I didn't get as far as the inquiry form. Thanks!

[attika89]

Oh and for the Green Gold, I think it should be quite close to the Alt-Goldgrün, but I don't have that one. I have Kingdom Note Tanna Japonensis and this one definitely has a more yellowish tone like the R&K.
