That ink looks like it will shade well.... 😀👍  

Looking forward to seeing your results.

 

  It’s so pretty, I will try and add some writing samples on a related thread soon. 
 

  Today I will be using my blue marbled Salz Peter Pan inked with vintage Quink Permanent Blue, and an unknown brown lever pocket pen with a warranted nib I need to smooth out, inked with Herbin Bleu Pervenche.

Today's journal pen will be a Lamy Studio Imperial Blue EF filled with Diamine Chopin.

Today it's been the recently restored green/black marble flake Do-Write lever filler, F? nib -- still with Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black; and the Medieval Lapis Noodler's Konrad, flex nib -- still with Noodler's Luxury Blue.

I've been keeping this Montblanc Noblesse inked with De Atramentis Document Cyan.  Maybe I should have wiped the nib off before taking the picture, but it's a working pen, and a little bit of ink stain on there doesn't hurt.  What would have hurt was knocking it on to a tile floor when setting up the picture.  I didn't do it, but came closer than I liked.😧

How do you like De Atramentis Cyan?  I've liked some of their Document line but haven't tried that one.

Today’s pen of the day is a Kaweco Ice Sport in Red with 1.1mm stub nib filled with Diamine Blue Edition Ho Ho Ho ink. 
 

I’ll be using the three pens representing wins leading up to Super Bowl day.

I was using a gray Parker 61 (M) Mk ll and it suddenly ran dry.

It seemed a bit sudden but I went to "refilled" it.

When I still had no success writing with it , I checked the nib with a loupe and found missing tipping on one tine 😞

The nib is gold IIRC, so it's still worth something, but too expensive to get it repaired. Kind of bummed because I was enjoying the balance and the way the pen wrote. Will probably sell it for $10-15.00 or give it away at our next pen club meeting (February 15th). Guess I will just have to pick another pen (from the VERY many I have, to use in it's place.

BTW, this was the first time something like this has ever happened to me. YMMV, of course.

 

 

I had the same thing happen with a Parker Sonnet from 1996.  The tipping on one tine just snapped right off. ☹️

Speaking of pocket pens, here's my Sailor Slim Mini with Sailor States Illinois ink on Cosmo Snow paper.

I really like the color of your Sailor PGS mini, @USG.

Pelikan 205 Petrol today.

[PJS_prog]

Lamy Safari charcoal with Jinhao 0.3 nib and Lamy black cartridge.  I started writing with this one on 20 November, and just today finally ran the first ink cartridge dry. 😲  At work, so I just popped another cartridge into it to keep going.

 

Clearly, I don't write as much as some of you do.

  Pilot Custom 742, Pilot/Namiki Purple was my choice for this morning. I’m feeling shimmery for the afternoon.

I’ll bet that looks really nice from your FA 😀👍

I am using a TWSBI Eco filled with Birmingham Ultramarine, and my just-delivered-today Kaweco AL Sport in Deep Red filled with Birmingham Molten Magma.

[AmandaW]

Today I'm using a clear Kaweco Student EF filled with black Pelikan 4001. It was previously inked with Kaweco Pearl Black but wrote anything but extra fine... so I'm trying the Pelikan ink and it does seem to have tamed it.

  Lamy and Parker cartridges last forever. I often will remove the cartridge from one pen to put in another just for some variety.

LOL, now I can't get Pilot Purple out of my head.  I'm pretty sure you're using the cartridge version because you called it Pilot/Namiki but I'm wondering if it's the same color as Iroshizuku Murasaki-shikibu?  I have both in my cart but I'm not sure which one to get or how much of it I'm going to use. 😀👍  Have you noticed any nuances with that ink?

[Misfit]

Today’s pen of the day is a Conklin Duragraph Red Nights with 1.1mm stub filled with Colorverse Eyes on the Universe Hubble ink.

  It’s this set:

 

Pilot assorted cartridge packs

 

  I don’t have the Iroshizuku Murasaki-shikibu yet. I meant to add that I will be trying both the 742 and the 9016 on on new papers that I received today under your quote earlier.

Curious minds want to know.... What kind of NEW papers did you get?👍😀

Thank you PGC.... Of course, there's a story along with it....

I just refilled my Pelikan 120 F.

As an original, it has the 4 longitudinal combs. Pure Pens's Celtic Sea ink.

Down to five other pens in my filled pen cup. Have two pens, an MB Safety Pen, and a Lamy Persona CI in B, in a pen tray....neither gets much use.

Shocking...I am down to my wished 7 pens inked wish........**

 

I do not want to look at my dirty pen cups. Something to do during the Super Bowl commercials while waiting for a Game Break.

 

** Won't last long, I want to test MB Joy vs Pelikan Mandarin. OM semi-flex 400 and a W. Germany OM 800. Both pens muttering in stereo at me.
