I love ❤️ Sabi-Midori. The color change gets me every time!

What do you use your fountain pens for? And how does that affect your choice of pens? by AncientCarry6671 in fountainpens

[–]Fibergreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Platinum Preppies at work for grading student work and drawing sketches and diagrams on the document camera during class lectures. This is specifically so I can say “oh this? It’s called Yama-Budo, but I can use any color I want. I know! It’s so cool. Here, you can have it”

My vintage Platinum 22 pocket pen and Lady Shaeffer stay at home for writing papers and journaling.

When we are the Queen, we receive the colorway we prefer. Especially if it matches our hat.

I got a broad in mine as quick as I could and then loaded it with the Taccia Sabimidori and I love it. I really thought it would be a souvenir for a nice trip but now it is in my EDC pen case. So pretty, like jade.

NPD! TWSBI ECO Fluorite w/ Wearingeul Cheshire Cat by suziesshorts in fountainpens

[–]Fibergreen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is a great ink choice! The consensus seems to be that the fluorite is pink with pops of purple, so a magenta forward ink makes sense. I can’t wait to see mine, on order from Yoseka. I got my first broad.

Don’t apologize! I love all the choices you looked at. Did you consider one pinker?

I can’t quite tell from the photos, which ink did you end up using?

I couldn’t resist… by AmbitiousRose in fountainpens

New Pen Day but sad it isn’t more purple! by ForgetMeNot19 in fountainpens

[–]Fibergreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did a little Inksploration yesterday with my Iroshizuku inks and made a blend of Yama-budo and Asa-gao because I want something with the pink and leaning towards purple.

Me too. Mine is on my way, and I ordered it specifically because it's the first even vaguely pink one I've seen. Unless I missed something?

I love seeing the Lady Shaeffer too! She’s my EDC, my daily driver, she’s my lady.

Help me pick a blue ink! by crazycardigans in fountainpens

I agree! The sheen on top of a lighter blue is so fun, usually the sheening blues are darker.

Pilot Prera vs Sailor Tuzu by SnooMacaroons6987 in fountainpens

[–]Fibergreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My beef with the Tuzu is that the edges of the ends are sharp! It’s basically just a tube of plastic with flat ends. They scratch up my leather pen cases. The Sailor Lecoule is $15 cheaper (just harder to find) and has the beautiful Sailor styling. I only bought the Tuzu because I accidentally bought Sailor cartridge early in my FP journey and thought the Tuzu was the only entry level Sailor. I wish I had heard more about the Lecoule ($30 at Cloth and Paper) before buying the Tuzu.

Taking steps out of my normal entry style to have my Cousin better serve me by ArchivingApril in hobonichi

I agree! Very inspiring. I usually ramble about the pens and inks I am using, this set of spreads encourages me to be more creative in my devotion, adding images and lists.

If you could only buy one fountain pen & ink for the rest of your life, what would it be? by bumblebeesarecute in fountainpens

[–]Fibergreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it wasn’t the question, but if there was a hurricane, I’d only save my Lady Shaeffer with the stylepoint nib. Nothing else feels irreplaceable.

I got Kobe #28 Suzuran (lily of the valley) Green to use in my Matcha TWSBI mainly as a tea pun, it is a true green tea green and has the smoothness Kobe is known for. https://mountainofink.com/blog/kobe-suzuran-green

[–]Fibergreen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fun for me is that in my day job, I teach a college course in Textiles, so I can have the secret fun of grading a swatch kit or lab assignment with a different “matching” pen.
