Ink rotation - April 2014

Wed, 23 Apr 2014 00:00:00 +0000

I haven’t been very good with rotating the inks in the last year. Having accumulated more than my share of inks, it is time to have fewer pens inked and rotate colors.

I still couldn’t resist inking 9 pens! There are 3 pens I’m excited about – 2 parker 51 and a custom pen made out of 10000 year-old bogwood (a gift from Christina).

Inky obsessions

Mon, 13 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Have I mentioned the long-standing obsession with stationery, especially, fountain pens? Well, it is a bit of problem, really. In the last few months, I have started hoarding them. It started with one– a Lamy. Once I discovered how one can procure junk on eBay for very little money, I quickly ended up with a selection. As these things go, I suddenly had the increased “need” for inks that are not blue, or black. Nay, simple colours won’t do for the truly obsessed.
