Lovely picture as always. :)

 

I too have a new bottle of kon-peki, so I have inked up and am enjoying a 18111 Falling Sakura, a TWSBI Eco, and a Pilot 823. Wonderful.

So far it's been a quiet day for me (slept in, and then have been working on the next few piles of vacation laundry). So, only the Vacumatic Red Shadow Wave, F-ish nib, and its usual diet of Waterman Mysterious Blue. I've now had the pen just over 2 years, filling it *only* with that ink -- and nary a flush, just a refill as needed, and constantly in the pen rotation. :thumbup:

As I said yesterday in another thread, some pens get a variety of inks, and others get what works well in combination, once I find the perfect match. This is one of those "perfect match" situations -- that pen gets that ink, because when I had it checked out after buying it, Mike Kennedy of Indy-Pen-Dance had WMB available as a tester ink. And I've seen no reason to change; if I need something more permanent, I have other pens, with other inks.

Using a Pelikan M300 green stripe with medium nib, upside down to get a finer line. EF nib on order.

Using this un-named Victorian silver dip pen.

I am enjoying the very fine line it produces.

 

I have been influenced by some pen fellows on the content of the writing and drawing :)

 

I still can't figure out how to be polite when people simply pull the pen cap off before thinking about threads lolpost-134999-0-71252700-1502675530_thumb.jpeg

I have yet to get Nock pen roll, hoping to get one at a pen show... (I am also interested in their Seed series too)

Nice pens and selection of inks :)

I'm almost reluctant to post a snap of this pen! Why? Cost - $1.04 (free shipping). Came across the pen by accident. Even has just a bit of flex in the nib (soft nib?). Though it can't compare to the costly beauties I see on this forum, it sure does provide a nice writing experience.
