A friend is graduating, and I've asked one of our mutual friends if she wants to go in for a fountain pen for him. There are some fun/colorful ones at a local coffee shop that would suit his style.
Thought it may be that I am more excited about picking out a fountain pen than he would be receiving it.
The #FountainPen that I share with you all today is a very special one.
It is the Hydra by Antigua's, a small Spanish maker.
I received this pen and a Jose Munuera nib as prizes in a solidarity raffle.
The beautiful resin and perfect balance of the pen combined with the line variation the nib is capable of make for a truly unique writing experience.
Sewing! I made a pen case for my two favorite fountain pens. I have ideas on how to improve this: deeper pocket, interfacing, water resistant shell, snap or button or a more shaped flap. #Sewing#FountainPen#PenCase
This is, hands down, the most beautiful #fountainpen in my collection at the moment. It is a Ryan Krusac Studios Legend L-16 "Kraken" fitted with a Fountain Pen Revolution 14kt gold Ultra Flex nib with an ebonite feed and inked up with Namiki Blue. The scrimshaw body is naturally shed moose antler (not something I'd usually be into but it makes an amazing canvas and feels lovely), the cap is Bolivian rosewood, and the section is ebonite. I am madly in love with this pen and so happy I added it to my collection.

air travel with a #fountainpen : i have a trip scheduled in the near future to a conference in Salt Lake City, #SOTMUS2024 - and i expect to take a pen or two with me. the feeling i'm getting is that the thing that works with converter pens and piston fillers is to travel with them filled, or at least with the piston positioned where there is little or no air left in the reservoir. opinions?
