My fountain pen usage was down even more this week as I missed doing journal entries a couple of days. So no pens went dry and I haven’t ink up any new pens. I could have used the same picture again but I’m tired of it and I didn’t have time to take another one. So no photo today.

Pen Shows & Clubs

The 2017 Philly pen show is history. The next US show is on the other coast, in Los Angeles, from February 16th to 19th.

Twiss Pen Eye Candy – The Clumsy Penman’s InKfusion Site // An eye-catching custom pen that’s seen four months of use.

Misc Links

The Ink bottle — Alt. Haven // A nice overview of ink bottle shapes.

Crónicas Estilográficas: “Made Abroad” // Seems like a strange way to label a pen, but some potential reasons are given

My Cross Century Secret Stash (and a Cross Spire for good measure) – The Well-Appointed Desk // Not a fountain pen in the bunch. Even if there was, it would be way to thin for me.
