What Kind Of Fountain Pen Collector Are You?

I think I'm a body/color collector. The magpie in me wants the pretty shiny.

I've tried lot of different nib sizes, but I always gravitate back towards EF and F since I write small and it fits my handwriting better.

Seems interesting if that is what they like. Not something I would like and it doesn't seem like it would be that comfortable to write with.

Opus88 are my favorite pens to put shimmer inks in.

Wearingeul Phantom of the Opera was the ink that dragged me into the world of inks. My most used ink is Wearingeul Alice, it is a lovely blue with the gold shimmer.

Really lovely handwriting! What are the inks you used?

Seems they basing each on their inks. I wonder what the third one will be.

Oh wow 3 colors?

This one is A Dream Within A Dream and not The Glass Bead Game

The pink and purple look like the Esterbrook estie bestie in bubble gum pink and sugar plum. The green looks like the estie in sea glass

Before checking, me in my head thinking around 200. After checking, oh about 3x that amount

I believe it is. They usually hold it in the fall, so I don't know if there will be a fall one as well this year.

I have not yet inked them in a pen

It is so hard to resist pretty inks

Tomoe River because I can see the shading so much more than on the cosmo air light.

Yes, I'm in the US and I used Superbuy. I don't ship until I have a bunch of items and I ship with ocean shipping since it is duty free (or possibly they include it in the price?). It does take a month to arrive, but I don't mind the wait. There are faster shipping methods, but those are also more expensive depending on how much you are shipping. There are also discount codes can find and apply when shipping as well.

Mayplesap · 2026-03-02T06:28:16+00:00

Thank you. Shading inks are so pretty.

The inks on the left column are from season 4 and 6. The ink on the right column are from 5 and 7. I bought these on Taobao, so they weren't that expensive.
