My first handmade one-of-a-kind pen by MG Designs! The camera doesn’t do this finish justice. #fountainpen #oneofakind #stubnib

A couple of guys in my area are penmakers. Neither one have websites, but you can find them on IG.

Thank goodness I have an appointment with my therapist tomorrow. If I didn’t need the money, I’d seriously consider quitting my job. We (including our supervisor) all feel powerless and unheard by the decision makers who don’t know crap about what we really do, yet insist that we work in ways that don’t work for us. It really sucks. #worklife #allinadayswork #unappreciated

I sit around with unfinished projects and new projects want to start and I get overwhelmed. I gotta start somewhere!

This is what happens when your flight out of Newark gets canceled and you have to spend an extra day in the NYC metro area. #fountainpens #pelikanpens #vintagepens #FountainPenHospital #nyc

Ink can make all the difference in your writing experience with a pen. Initially, I inked up this #asvinev126 (modded with Pendleton’s BLS nib) with Colorverse Supernova and the experience was meh. 🫤 I switched the ink to #pilotiroshizukuink #asagao and I’m enjoying it a lot more. #fountainpens #traveljournal

@penfount I plan on attending the Hub in Nashville. 😁✍🏻

I’ve been on vacation this week. Isn’t it great when the pen matches the ride? #fountainpens #matchymatchy #pilotvanishingpoint #CelebrityCruises #vacation #cruising

@inkdependence It’s a really pretty turquoise blue.

I came, I saw, I shopped. #fountainpens #NewInkDay #newpenday #YosekaStationary

Van Dieman's has a new series of fountain pen inks - Feline and I very much suspect I will be getting Mad Half Hour and Tortoiseshell as soon as I can.

@paradoxmo I’d really like to give the Waverly nib a try.

@analogue_fog I like it a lot! Now, I just need to figure out which pen I want to ink it up with.

Did you know that Pilot offers 16 types of nibs? #pilotfountainpens #fountainpens #pilotpens

@penfount I thought I did, but then I took an inventory of all of my fountain pens and realized that there are more that I still want so I guess not.

@superplannergirl It’s so hard to pick just one favorite. I would say that among my favorites are the Pilot Custom 74 and 743, the Sailor 1911L, the Pelikan M205, and the FC Ambition (not so much for the pen body, but the nib!).

#NewInkDay 😊🖋️ For $18+change on Amazon, I couldn’t resist.

State of the collection—all that are missing are a TWSBI 580 Iris, which is at work and a Lamy 2000 which is with Gena at Custom Nib Works getting nib work done. #fountainpens #fountainPenCollector #JustCantGetEnough

@JakeSparkleChicken @penfount Diamine Damson—it’s muted but not too dark.
