That’s why that effortless flow and glide across the paper seems so magical when you get there. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/fountainpens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fountainpens</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/fountainpen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fountainpen</span></a></p>

Ellyrieve LVKMy first attempt at swatching 😄. This ink is Diamine X Pure Pens Alexandrite. In real life the ink is a bit more green than shown in the photos. <br> <br> I used a Tintoretto 5/0 synthetic mop brush for the flower and the main swatch.

Cthulhu<p>For the fountain pen knurds.</p><p>My new daily driver is a Lamy Safari in Hi-Viz yellow. Got it a couple of weeks back and I'm impressed. It now lives in the front pocket on my Hi-Viz vest, hence my choice of colour. I like the grip of the Safari, makes writing less tiring. Much more ergonomic than the Logo, which now lives in my laptop bag. ✒️</p><p><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/fountainpen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fountainpen</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/fountainpens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fountainpens</span></a></p>
gcvsa ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭<p>Rewatching "The Crown" on Netflix, and I was bemused to see this <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/anachronism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anachronism</span></a>: John Lithgow as Prime Minister Winston Churchill, writing with what is clearly a modern Pelikan M200 <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FountainPen</span></a>. While Pelikan pens certainly did exist in 1952, they didn't look anything like that. The M200 is a currently produced model. But, I also wonder if a German pen was something that Mr. Churchill would ever have used, especially only 7 years after the end of the war.</p>

Collar that connects to the feed has 0.17in on the outside 0.09in on the inside (roughly).
