Pearl Series Lapis Lazuli....

 

That's the same ink you mentioned the other day... I looked it up and it's on my list.  😀👍

 

But that bottle looks like an accident waiting to happen. 🤪

 
  It’s a gorgeous ink, and the bottom of the bottle is heavy, it’s pretty sturdy. I ordered a ton of samples today from Goulet.- all shimmery with Jack Frost in there. 

Top 5 of 19 currently inked pens:

MontBlanc 144 IB, Herbin Orange Indien/ Wearingeul Frost

Sailor x Daimaru Central Rockhopper Penguin PGS mini, Sailor Wonder Blue

Salz Peter Pan 18k gold filled filligree fine flex, Waterman Serenity Blue 

Pilot Silvern Dragon IB, Iroshizuku Kiri-Same

A wine coloured Jinhao 9019, medium nib, Diamine Writer's Blood.  The pen seems to write much better with the Diamine ink, very enjoyable.

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.

   Aloha , good morning, good afternoon, good evening to you all.  Iʻm watching a replay of the South Africa V.  Ireland Rugby match in France. I think Iʻll stop, disappointed but thatʻs a game.
    On a very cheerful and happy note, back to Fountain pens! Just got my Parker Golden Pearl Vaccumatic back from The Southern Scribe for a complete overhaul of filling system and cleaning. Itʻs a Fine point, and writing as smoothe as silk.  This pen was in the family, so it means a lot.

How lucky of you to have a family heirloom pen!  Especially a vintage Parker....  :thumbup:

ETA: Today it's been the Red Shadow Wave Vac, still with Waterman Mysterious Blue.  Such a lovely combination of that blue-black ink coming out of the red pen....

I’m using a green Pen BBS 266 that @fireantgave me. I have inked it with Oblation Papers and Press’ Portland Rain. Just in time for the weather to change. It’s a lovely pen, thank you so much!

Today the only pen I managed to use was the one I keep in my work notebook — a Pilot Capless Tropical Purple M, currently inked with Sailor Miruai. I weirdly don’t love the look of this pen (weird because I love purple and black and Pilot Capless pens), but it’s a fantastic writer and it’s nice to be able to have one of those at work without worrying about it constantly like I would with the special Capless a loved one gifted me.

Like almost every day : a Platinum Preppy EF with blue ink cartridge, and a promotional Sailor HighAce Neo with Quink black ink. I love these EF nibs : perfect to write notes in my BuJo.

 

And today, a "John Doe" (unknown brand and model) I found on a yard sale. I'm practicing calligraphy with its semi-flex nib...

Parker 75 Independence Hall LE, Pewter, trying my best to write the ink out of this pen, it is such a good writer and an extra fine nib.Parker75IndependenceHall1.thumb.jpg.2de0d70037ef3ec45d68ca64b5225e2b.jpgParker75IndependenceHall2.jpg.08b5086ee0afb9cd4a7db0b48744b471.jpg

Interesting clip on this pen. Very different from other Parker 75s that I have seen.

What pens are those?

The pen on the left is a Duke Bamboo and the right one is an Opus 88 Koloro. The Opus 88 has a stub on it now but I also have fine, medium and broad nibs for it.

Today it's been a black Parker Vector (from the calligraphy set), IF nib, with Diamine Monboddo's Hat (thanks to FPN member Jayebird); and the M205 Blue Marbled, M nib, still with Pelikan 4001 Blue Black.
