Because they're not wildly expensive in Japan (as far as premium fountain pen inks go, anyway), I'm taking the chance while I'm here to gradually expand this collection 😁😁😁

Shoutout to @pilotpenau ... again (I know!) but seriously, no other pen company looks after calligraphers the way they do. I’ve been using parallel pens for a very long time - modified, ground to custom size, filled with glitter, converted to eye dropper, you name it. I’m a more recent convert to their regular fountain pens - especially the Falcon, but even the entry level pens are great (and you’re not devastated if you lose them!). Happy 100 years of ink love, Pilot! . . . #pilot100years #pilot100 #pilotpen #melbournecalligraphy #calligraphy #inklove #inktastic #asagao #yamabudo #parallelpen #pilotmr #pilotmetro #kakuno #ajisai #iroshizuku #iroshizukuink #lovemyjob #pennerd #stationerylove #bujo #joyofwriting #snailmail #handwriting #italic #calligraphynerd #bringbacksnailmail https://www.instagram.com/p/BngK3r8gWOr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=137q4orvn1ha6
Posting day 9 to 13 of #30inks30days by @inkjournal the videos for day 9-12 and day 13 had already been released. We had a leak in the house so I didn't get to play with my inks until Sunday! Hopefully now the posts will be regular. I have to say that I just adore the ink and pen combo of day 13. #pilotink #yamabudo and #opus88picnic are just perfect together 💖💖 #fountainpeninklover #fountainpengeeks #fountainpencollection #fountainpenink #fountainpenaddict #fountainpencommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CTzVmRsrE6V/?utm_medium=tumblr
More of my summoner & Alfonse doodle... They were playing Trouble Maker in the cafe when I was thinking of these two so.
(I was waiting for the rain to stop at a cafe today... and it went on for 7 hours until I finally had to run in the rain TwT)> So I drew the summoner waiting for the rain to stop to go see Alfonse what a nerd)
Tuesday morning at Château de Versailles with café au lait, @baronfig Vanguard, and my Sailor Pro Gear Slim B nib in Framboise with Iroshizuku Yama-budo ink...so very happy to be here, even if it's cold. #mdgirlineurope #paris #versailles #fountainpens #sailor #baronfig #vanguard #iroshizuku #yamabudo (at Château de Versailles)
Messing around with my recently bought Namiki Falcon fountain pen! I've heard a lot about it and was still not prepared for how flexible it is. Of course, it won't achieve the thick-and-thin contrast of an actual dip pen, and when not flexing, the nib writes a bit heavier/thicker than I normally like in my fountain pens, but it's nice enough to create some flair in my writing without having to bring out the dip and inks; perfect for writing in cards and things like that!

We're reading the Odyssey for bedtime stories these days (George Herbert Palmer's translation from 1891), and there are little phrases that repeat in the text and pop into my mind throughout the day, like the refrain of a song. I've decided to do a calligraphy series of them, maybe on postcards. Here's my first experiment, "and speaking in winged words, he said"--done with my lovely 1930s Wahl Eversharp fountain pen. (It has a flexible nib, but the paper wasn't cooperating, so I didn't use the flex. I still love the line, though.) . #calligraphy #vintage #wahl #eversharp #fountainpen #yamabudo #pilot #iroshizuku #ink #rhodia #ivory #vellum #paper #monoline #flourish #flourishing #truelove #homer #odyssey #poetry
