i think this evening is about resurrecting a fountain pen and writing by hand. I think that would be a lovely way to spend the evening. In between loads of laundry, of course.

Which pen did you use? And what ink?

I have a pen I bought as part of a set. Someone stole the pencil drat that sniffleraff. It's a very unusual pen, one that was never put into production. It'd doesn't have a clip, has a smooth, rounded cap, and is slimmer than 'normal'. It's a gold or brass on black pinstripe with a wider nib than I like, but sometimes, writing is about laying down bold black lines. I used the last cartridge from a trip to a pen store in paris, I don't remember the name of the ink but it's the blackest of black. I try to write in color but I just don't like it. I'll do grey, black, sepia, oxblood. Are you coming down for the pen show in August?
