#FountainPenInks this seems to be the final color of my ink mix of 2:1 Pelikan Edelstein Star Ruby and Colorverse Butterfly Nebula.

Sparkly dark pink it is! It looks a bit like the shimmer version of Lamy Vibrant Pink but a little pinker rather than redder.

#FountainPen is Wing Sung 698 with Pilot B italic nib.

@paradoxmo A lovely colour! I love your handwriting, by the way. It looks like a calligraphic exercise to me. Did you use any model or technique to practise?

@paradoxmo thanks a lot for the info! I'm definitely trying it out this year. I want to get my handwriting a bit fancier for special purposes…

@paradoxmo actually, the need for broad edge was what made me a bit reluctant to try the style, but now I'm definitely going for it. I use a variant of a mixture of Spencerian and Palmer for daily handwriting but I'd love to learn italic for titles or special occasions. Thanks again!

#FPQuestion of the day:
What are your memories of your first pen? Do you still have it? Does it work, and do you still use it?

#FPQuestion of the day:
Do you match your pens and inks—never, sometimes, or always? For matchy people, what are some of your top “made in heaven” matches?

@penfount not always, but it's a match at the moment! I'm using a Pilot Non-Self Filling (with a cart, even if it defeats the purpose) and Pelikan Dunkelgrün which behaves well if the correct paper is used. I'm going for cheap Muji notebooks at the moment, which are FP-friendly. #FountainPens
