In this video, I show you how my fountain pens and inks are doing this month ... I have 11 inked for letter writing this month ... and we look at my ink journal entries + the ink tiles. Thank you so much for all your many contributions of ink samples, pens, notebooks and other things ... I am so grateful.
The journals:
1. Main Ink Journal (grading book etc): Bond Travel Gear old stock A5 hard over 68 gsm Tomoe River paper (Bond Travel Gear is now Lochby and they still make the booklet style TR68 gsm notebooks).
2. Graphilo A5 lined notebook.
Fountain Pens and Inks mentioned:
1. Pelikan M800 F Black and Blue with Tom's Studio Mariana's
2. TWSBI Eco Rose Gold + White M with Tom's Studio Sunny Teal
3. Lamy Al-Star Graphite B with Tom's Studio Dove Grey
4. Pilot Kakuno CM Clear with Diamine Deep Magenta
5. TWSBI Eco Rose Gold + Black M with Tom's Studio Damson
6. Lamy Al-Star Bronze B with Tom's Studio Clementine
7. Jinhao X750 Red and Gold with B Goulet nib and KOBE Fortune Red
8. Conklin Duragraph Purple Nights 1.1 Goulet nib with Pilot Murasaki Shikibu
9. Jinhao Shark 993 blue EF hooded nib with Pilot Asa-gao
10. Jinhao 82 clear and glittery M Nemosine nib with Tom's Studio Cassis
11. Moonman Mini Purple Swirl B Opus 88 nib with Tom's Studio Raspberry Sorbet
It has been working so beautifully to transfer my pens to my Levenger pen case for journaling and process journaling plus notetaking! I keep my current letter writers (the 11 listed above) on my writing desk and this has just kept me enjoying both the current letter writers and finishing fills on all my other fountain pens.
Here is a link to my Substack for anyone interested -- I do talk about politics and things like that over there and wanted to keep it separate from our little fun hobby community:
