No comments, other than that I love the drawings comments, and I am ecstatic to have gotten my first letter out on the snail mail thread.

I run on Caffeine, Sarcasm and inappropriate thoughts.

I have to say even if I were to receive one, I don't think I would be able to match the appealing nature of your handwriting Ian.

That's very gracious of you.

It's all about just having a bit of fun though, and trying out new, or different stuff. :D

Ian, that's great to know. I used up most of the ink. I'm sending out stuff a little at a time. If someone is totally new, I'm sending out paper and some CRVs. Once I see that you are participating, I will send pen ann ink.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Hello from Henderson :-) I would volunteer to participate, but I'm unsure what a CRV is, perhaps you can enlighten me?

Hey, Mark! It's nice to see another Nevadan. check out post #4 for an actual sample. Or go to the CRV forum: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/forum/153-co-razy-views/ and see the thread with yet an other explanation: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/300379-random-inkscrv-explanation/

LOL at the Frosties and EB!!

 

Please put my name in the whimsical whimmery hat.

This is an AWESOME PIF/CRV opportunity. Thank you, Amberlea for creating another great CRV event, and thank you Ian the Jock for donating some of your custom nibs!!! Way to go, teaming up to offer an incredible experience and tangible surprise prizes.

I'm game to give it a go. As I'm new to this type of exchange, I don't expect goodies, but I would love to at least take part in the CRV portion.

MDoring, we would love to have you in the CRVS. You can write one yourself, OR, PM me with your name and address and I'll send you some to get you started.

I would like to participate. I have TR and pens and ink, and I would be happy to start a new CRV since I'm new.

I received the package today. It has 15 pages for me to read through. The nib on that Jinhao x750 must be an old model, the #6 JinHao nibs I have are all much slimmer at the shoulder and also with more 'rounded'. This is quite an imposing nib and the stub grind is very different from how I grind mine. I'll work an a Jinhao X450 today for the return package that shall be my 9th grind.

For those that are on the fence. Do it! Having done CRV's a number of times, it is worth the effort.

 

I am always up for them. But Amber knows this....

Packet of papers and inks off to Amber today, assuming our post office doesn't wash away in all the rain!

Hey Amber,

 

I received mine and sent it back (i don't have a scanner, and my phone had terrible color reproduction).

 

It was so much fun.

At this point, I have already given out the four pens. If you send me your name and address (via pm), I will send you a CRV (see above).
