Birmingham Pen Co Antique Sepia
I'm not sure what I expected with this ink. It's a lot pinker than I expected from something called "sepia". But it's a very nice multishading ink, along the lines of a darker and greyer Sailor Ink Studio 123.
Thanks @alexa488
Apologies to my TWSBIs because I know they were up to be inked next, but it's got to be the Jinhaos.
(I'm moving the TWSBIs to being inked in the winter because I won't need to clean them until the spring if I ink them up. 
)
In the photo, L to R:
Jinhao 62 (Wood) in beige and sage green. (My camera is washing out the sage green.)
Jinhao 82 blue, translucent grey, and sparkle brown. All of them with gold trims.
Still figuring out what to ink them with. 
Odd question but does anyone have a Pilot Decimo and a Plotter with pen-holder? Does the Decimo fit in there? The VP unfortunately does not :( #fountainpens #plotternotebooks

Happy, unexpected #NewPenDay to meeeeee!
Got gifted this by one of my long-term (ex) clients at work. I no longer work on her account, and our professional relationship has transitioned to one of friendship. We bonded over a love of analog hobbies - she is a stamp & glass bead collector - and coffee.
She found this black Lamy ABC at the flagship Lamy store in New Delhi. I had no idea there was a black colourway?!! 
*taps mic* Is this thing still on?
It’s been a while, and while everything is pretty overwhelming I’m still here and managing the best I can! If any of you fine people will be at @socallinuxexpo I’ll be at the @thunderbird booth - and possibly organizing a #FountainPens BoF and field trip
And I think @jedda recognise herself with the #fountainpens and #photography topics

I also received my Hello Kitty pen the other day. This is a case where I'll absolutely keep the box despite it's simplicity, because it's adorable.

Hello! Please call me Pen. My pronouns are she/ her/ they. I'm 30-something years old. I love #fountainpens, #journaling, #travelling, #music, and #reading.
I've been off social media for a while now because I find it intimidating. A friend recommended signing up on Mastodon, so here I am. 
What are your favorite stationery accessories? The question is inspired by the lastest @penaddict episode.
Here’s one of mine. My somewhat wonky pen try. I made it myself at the pottery class I went to with the kids.
Just like my pens in 2023, my inks have been multiplying at an alarming rate during 2024. In this post I take a look at some of my favourite inks from last year, as well as a brief look at my top pens from that year.
@Algot lots of people still use #FountainPens including many school kids in Europe and Asia as well as over 1000 people here on fediverse at @penfount
Hello, I'm Orion, this is my Fediverse #introduction
I'm a musician from Nova Scotia, principally playing electric bass. Currently in my last year of study for undergrad music.
I am interested in contemporary #composition, #musicproduction, and performance, mainly in the realm of improvised music, new complexity, and jazz. #AbletonLive is my DAW of choice, dabbling in #MaxMSP and other software.
Other hobbies are #photography #ttrpg #linux #fountainpens #mma
First post on Mastodon. So how does it work for FP people? #fountainpen #fountainpens #leonardopens #journaling
I love journaling with my #fountainpens , but I'm finding I also very much love journaling with a pointed nib dip pen. I truly enjoy the act of frequently dipping my nib into the ink and gently tapping on the inkwell to release any hanging drops, the whispery scratching of the nib on the paper (the nib is sharper than fountain pens), the cleaning of the nib before I put it away. I find it all soothing and calming.. a tonic for the senses. I can't wait for my gum arabic to arrive in a few days, so I can mix small portions of some of my fountain pen inks to make them work for my dip pens as well.
I'm trying to ween myself off the metaverse, and this is like the fourth time I've tried to use Mastodon since COVID-19 began. I like the *idea* of open-source social media but the UI is never as pretty, IMHO.
I like how quiet it is on here compared to FB and IG. But it's also a bit...too quiet on my timeline.
I live in #Ottawa, and I like #chess, trying different #pizza recipies, I geek out over #coffee and #fountainpens. I used to have a podcast and wouldn't mind getting back into it.
