New notebook, new pen, same Tolkien obsession.

Days 21 - 25 of Inkvent 2024. Done!

Got a Sailor Shikiori with a 14K medium nib.

Beautiful pen. My first nicer sailor, second 14k nib. Been fun to write with. The nib is stiff, gives some feedback. I have to use it gently, it doesn’t like pressure much.

The Celadon Cat by Diamine ink I used is a bit too light for this thin of a nib. Definitely thinner than western style medium nibs. Probably 0.3-0.5mm line width.

New pen day!

Fountain Pen Revolution, Himalaya v2

I was hoping this nib would be super flexy and it's not (but does have some flex), but I love the look and feel of this pen.

The nib is stiff enough that I can use it for normal writing which I really can't do with my other flex nib fountain pen (Conklin endura).

Compared to the Conklin, this pen isn't nearly as smooth or flexy, but at less than half the price, that's expected.

Conversation between my friend (L) who I'd introduced to FPs, and her friend (Y)

L: What color ink should I fill this pen with? Y: What colors do you have? L: *Gets up and shows Y the 43 ink samples in the test tube tray Y: …………Okay, most people when you ask them what color don't just bring out an entire friggin' collection of options… L: *holds up the 8-pack of turquoise ink samples from Goulet, still in a baggie, and another baggie with 5 other samples she didn't sort into the tray Y: What the fuck L: *stands up, grinning widely Y: I swear to God, if you hold up another bag of ink……… L: *Holds up another bag with the Noodler's Navy and 2 Diamine ink bottles Y: OH, MY GOD

Ink: "autumn oak" by Diamine

Days 1 - 5 of Inkvent 2024.

[stories-and-chaos]

Cult of the Lamb art from 01/13/23 livestream. I used both fountain and dip pens for this one. The game has been occupying around 70% of my brain this week especially with the update coming out in a couple days. The Lamb is exploring Darkwood, I’ll be doing the other domains over the next week or so. We’re going to Anura next!

Pilot Iro-Utsushi with medium nib and glass dip pen with Ferris Wheel Press Spruce Country Post, Diamine Oxblood, Diamine Writers Blood, Diamine Golden Sands, and Pelikan Edelstein Star Ruby.

Platinum Preppy 03 nib with Platinum black cartridge.

Jinhao 8802 fude nib with FWP Writers Desk.

Hongdian 920 medium nib with Diamine Celadon Cat.

Pen model names can be so odd. Usually it's a problem of what the exact model name is, with a hundred tiny variants (looking at you, Sheaffer) or not giving a model number at all (*cough* Platinum *cough*), but sometimes it's just like, that doesn't sound like a pen.

For instance, the Parker Lucky Curve.

It gets its name from an element of the feed design that you can't even see. The inner end of the feed curves against the ink sac, providing a better flow of ink back into the pen when you stop using it. Which reduces burping and blotting.

Having taken this pen apart for repairs, I found no evidence of a curve in the feed. It may have been removed in the course of a previous repair to make it easier to reassemble. Oh well!

day 2 of the inkvent calendar: brown (bronze?) with pink tones. not exactly what i expected given that it's called "wilted rose" but pretty nonetheless

surprised by how quick it dried
