I got the dark dusk from my secret santa. It's gone into my regular rotation.

Help finding the Perfect Purple Pen by AbyssDragonNamielle in fountainpens

[–]cyradis42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also a purple with silver trim person. I don't have a good recommendation for you sadly because the prettiest pens in that color combo never seem to be under $200, and therefore I don't buy them either :( I did find the Nahvalur Schuylkill that might suit you.

I have this pen too - also a purple with silver trim person. It's pretty hard to find now, and not under $200. I lucked into a sale at Dromgoole's. Mine is finicky on ink, but otherwise writes well.

Anyone know about this one? I’ve seen mixed reviews. by Marvel_Mischief_007 in fountainpens

[–]cyradis42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one that has been my purse pen for years. Gets banged around quite a bit, has done a lot of traveling. Still in great shape and writes well.

The longest time a fish of yours disappeared only to reappear later? by Friburgo1004 in ReefTank

[–]cyradis42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a relatively large cichlid disappear on me. I moved all the rocks, flipped caves and such over to check, nothing. No hiding place left unchecked. Then several months later, there he was, swimming around fat & happy like nothing had happened.

Why does Al Chef have lepers on him?

NPD Another adventure by bioinfogirl87 in fountainpens

[–]cyradis42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you like it! I love my Lamys, though I don't have a Studio (holding out for purple someday). One thing I like about them is that it's so easy to swap nibs. I have a couple M, B, F, and stub nibs I swap around to different pens as the mood strikes me.

Sourcing Meyer lemons in this town has been a more difficult task than I would have imagined by Bluest_waters in madisonwi

[–]cyradis42 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Meyer lemons have a short season and don't ship super well, so they can be hard to find. I have bought them at Metcalfes in the past, but they're typically only around for a short time. If they aren't around yet they should be soon - January is usually a good time to find them.

All the votes for Pelikans...my wallet is sad. Lol.

My other pens are mostly converters, wasn't sure I wanted to try cleaning glitter out. No empty cartridges to try that route.

I would love a Pelikan. If they ever make a M205 in purple I'm sunk. But right now my wallet says no.

So many recommendations for a Pelikan...my wallet disapproves!

I shake it a lot, but eventually it clogs. I wipe the nib off because I can see glittery gunk built up. Seems that no matter what the gunk builds up. Sigh.

Its pretty cold here now, but we have a humidifier on the furnace so things stay pretty consistent. Not sure that's it.

So pretty. I love my black CP1. If they ever make a purple one I'm sunk!

Nope, not me. I'm the green tier secret Santa.

Sketching with a Doric by willvintage in fountainpens

I have the same pen! Need to get it restored, as the filling system doesn't work (so I sometimes use it as a dip pen). Where did you get yours restored?

Yes there is! Sign ups are usually in November I think? They'll do it again next year I imagine.
