Today's journal pen is a Parker 45 Flighter with a fine italic nib and Lamy Petrol. It's the first time I've used it for more than italic practice exercises and it's so different when used to write quickly to keep up with thoughts in the Morning Pages style. I can see it's going to take more than a few days to get that sweet spot stable to the page. Other than showing up my incompetence it's a beautiful little pen and with some practice might even make my handwriting look nicer!

My own Parker 45 ‘Flighter’ ran out of Kiwa Guro today, so it is now in clean-up.

 

I slightly surprised myself with my choice of a replacement for it, by putting a cartridge of Pilot Blue/Black in to my Pilot 78G that has the ‘M’ nib from a Pilot Metropolitan on it (a pen that was PIF’d to me by a generous FPNer).

 

My other currently-inked pen is still my Parker 25 with blue trim and an unmarked nib that I think is an ‘M’. It is now ‘running on fumes’ of Quink ‘Washable Blue’ from a cartridge.

Today's journal pen - in acknowledgement of it being March 17 - is the very green TWSBI Eco Green with an extra fine nib and Sailor Waka-uguisi ink. 🍀

 

[Misfit]

@AmandaW cool pen, plus cool pen and ink combination.

Saint Patrick is my patron saint.  Pen of the day --- my green Shamus Heaney limited edition, series 58 Conway Stewart in his honour.

[DvdRiet]

As someone who is 2/4 Irish, I want to wish everyone a very happy St. Patrick's Day!

 

And quite coincidentally, today's ink rotation was a green ink that I've just put in one of my new MadC Caneva Esteems:

 

[AmandaW]

Today's journal pen is a Lamy Lx Ruthenium EF filled with Van Dieman's Cradle Mountain Grey. It's not my idea of extra fine, but if I ignore that and call it a fine, it's fine.

 

[inkstainedruth]

Today it's been three pens (no, none green and I don't have anything inked up with green ink at the moment either -- but at least I'm also not using orange... 

1. Morrison sterling filigree overlay ringtop, sort of oblique F (when I got the pen repaired last weekend I was told that the tipping had worn down to make it effectively an oblique, since in order to NOT damage the nib I should actually cant the pen to an angle and effectively turn it into an OF) -- Waterman Tender Purple.

2. Pilot Metropolitan silver color, M nib -- Birmingham Pens Allegheny Observatory Celestial Blue.

3. Parker Vector Shrek "Puss in Boots", M nib -- Noodler's Tokyo Gift.

The pen and the sunshine yellow ink have more of an orange tint, than I see here
