Stationary, Ink, and Fountain Pens! OH MY!

gotoseagrl · 01-08-2017, 05:51 PM

Oh my, I love this topic too. I know someone who has hundreds of pens, and that is too much for me! Especially when I tried making a mark with each one. But I am in love with handwriting and paper of various types. My favorite types of pens are old school ones with some weight that twist open and calligraphy pens. I have tons of different size nibs, but need to get some new pen holders.

I love handwriting and typography and just bought some new ink so that I can get back into practicing calligraphy. I started practicing Japanese again and been using this brush pen I have and it makes beautiful strokes. I was also recently in an art supply store and was going insane over so many of the amazingly beautiful textured handcrafted papers they had. I wanted to take them all home and keep them forever.

Oh I also love colored pens that smell, like a red cherry scented one I used recently.

This is my "workhorse"...with its sensual glide and "fits like a glove" feel...well
it is delicious and I enjoy it everyday...smiling

My ink is the Private Reserve midnight blue (letters), and black (office).

What is the brush pen you mention in your post? I've quoted you below...

"I started practicing Japanese again and been using this brush pen I have and it makes beautiful strokes."

You also mentioned loving different types of paper...for letter writing I use Verge De France...great writing paper.

I've been enjoying reading this thread and all of the responses! So perhaps maybe letter writing isn't a dying art after all?

Letter writing is NOT a dying art!!

I know we have a pen pals thread - Wondering if they just send letters back and forth? I might love sending a letter or two myself!

I am currently obsessed with Diamine shimmer inks and trying not to indulge until I use some of the ink I already have (like 20 bottles EEEK!)

THAT is absolutely gorgeous! I love a good black ink but I'll fully admit that the packaging is so beautiful on that one that it might be what would tip the scale

The pen pal thread serves many purposes. Mostly, now, it's a crafting thread but yes, we have old fashioned pen pals too.
