As my name indicates, a fountain pen lover. I like fude and posting/concord type nibs for drawing. For writing Flex pens are fun.

Last Notes npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Our dogs used to love to take a sprint alongside each other. One had the habit of throwing the other off track. One time a slow moving car meant the other dog got under the wheel with his leg 😢. Poor injured dog. It was weekend and we had to go to the emergency ver whose name was dr. Breuk which means fracture 🙈. He got a nice pink bandage with paw prints after surgery. All healed well 😅💕 #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori day 5 of #The100DayProject #InkyParkers #Honderdag npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 The prompt is #CATCH! npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Oh wow what a size difference. I would have thought it to be M600 vs M800 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Day 3 of #The100DayProject with the prompt ripe for my #PastInktober npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Some extra sketching today on day 2 of #The100DayProject #FountainPen #WaterColour #MixedMedia #Midori #undatedA5 #InkyParkers npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Day 2 of #The100DayProject Last catch up prompt of 2018. It’s a good thing these pretty Amanita Muscaria are #poisonous otherwise too many people would poach them #PastInktober 1/2018, drawn with #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #undatedA5 #InkyParkers npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Today is the start of #The100DayProject. I’m actually doing a 365 and am on day 166, so I will also join the 100 😅 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 My favourite way to eat vegetables is to have them #roasted #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #undatedA5 #InkyParkers npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 😍 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I wish witches would really have the powers they were thought to have. They would surely know a #Spell to get the world out of this shit, male leaders seem to refuse to do. #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #GansaiTambi #Midori #undatedA5 #InkyParkers npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I used to have chickens, but never had them in my kitchen. I do like seeing pictures of chicken in kitchen though and I miss my chickens #PastInktober 5/2018 #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #undatedA5 #InkyParkers npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Haven't listened to this song for ages. I've always loved the Beautiful South for their unusual lyrics. I've heard the lyrics a million times before even this sentence, but it made me giggle this morning. "And I love you 'till my #FountainPen runs dry" npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Any cake display will have me #drooling #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #GansaiTambi #Midori #undatedA5 #InkyParkers npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Nowadays I start the day with fresh lemon and honey in hot water, which I count as tea. Then I have Earl Grey the rest of the day until dinner and after dinner I drink herbal tea. What is your favourite tea? npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Listening to the news makes me #exhausted. I always feel like throwing something at the TV. My sanity are my #FountainPens, #Midori #undatedA5 and a cup of #tea npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I don’t have a favorite pen maker, but would love a pen with an Orla Kiely’s multi stem design npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 So many #stars in the sky. I love those star trail pictures which can be fairly easily made with digital pictures. However Van Gogh of course was way ahead of his time painting star trails #PastInktober 8/2018 #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #undatedA5 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 My most #precious is my family. My most favorite picture of us is where we went out with boots and umbrellas to a statue of big boots to take a family picture. My oldest son wanted to know where the wind was coming from before he’d put up the umbrella (there was no wind that day), my youngest was just fed up and grumpy. Husband and daughter played along 😂#PastInktober 9/2018 #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #undatedA5 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Life got in the way of continuing my daily catch up prompts from past inktobers which I never did before. I did manage to continue my daily sketch with or without prompt. Anyway trying to get in a daily rhythm of doing the past inktobers. Used my Estie with Kirk Speer Needlepoint nib #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #undatedA5 #CloudsOverNiagaraFalls #flowing npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Do you know if a Sailor Realo would handle shimmer well? npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I started this account so I could more easily read up on fountain pen related things which get swamped on my main account. Because of request by someone I posted my drawings on my main account, but actually I think they more belong on this account. I use a mixture of media but always draw with #fountainpens npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Me too. It’s a lovely shade of dusty pink npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 A bit late for #SwatchWednesday but I didn’t have proper lighting last night #FountainPenInk npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 You can also use a seringe/pipette to fill the ink miser npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I always try thought Joe Dassin has the original and the other two were copies. TIL npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Oh I wish I’d known that earlier 😂😂😂 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 A very cheap refillable fountain pen is a Platinum Preppy. Don’t know how much cartridges are I don’t think it takes the international standard cartridges. But it’s a very good pen performing better than many others at a higher price point. You could get a converter, but the converter is quite expensive in comparison to the pen. The reasons probably because the same converter can be used on much more expensive platinum pens. npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 There is actually also a Dutch version with the Waterlooplein 😅😂 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Somehow I’m now singing “oh Waterlooplein” to the tune of “Aux Champs-Elysées” npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Nice to be back home timely for the celebrations. 🥳 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I thought that was yesterday 😅 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I have and like golden sands, but find it slightly not yellow enough. Looks like another ink on my wishlist 😅😂 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 A good working pen with the right paper and ink can feel like magic. You want to share the magic npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Is the colorverse Christmas star really a bit more yellow than diamine golden sands? Or is it just the picture? npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Yes didn’t think it was cotton, but Midori paper is so much nicer even without the cotton npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I don’t mind writing over lines, I think it adds to the drawing no matter what’s already on the page. Not even sure it has cotton, even if it doesn’t it so nuce (2/2) npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I’ve covered mine in fabric with a very strong fabric double sided adhesive. I used to be a big Moleskine fan, but in the long past I never used fountain pens. Since taking up daily sketching again recently I’ve been using FP and the MS occasionally bleeds. This year I went for the Midori undated A5 and the paper is so so so much better. It has some lines to the left of the page, but is blank to the right. (1/2) npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I can second that choice for sketching npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I haven’t heard good things about archer and olive for fountain pens despite their own claim that it is. Midori or anybody using tomoe river paper are good for fountain pens. Also Claire Fontaine paper, not sure if they do notebooks npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Does anybody know if Mann Inc is a reputable retailer in the UK? @npub1zcc…vkj9 @npub1zvm…qe5q ? #FountainPen npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Wow 🤩 I don’t do inkvent, but if I did I’d buy the file npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 This is torture. I cannot choose 😱 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Happy Christmas to you too! Thanks for your advent project. I enjoyed following it a lot npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 For my planner I just grab whichever pen I fancy at that moment. I have a few journals and it’s the same for most except one, my 10 year Midori. I record my steps, max and min temperature for that day, what I ate and any highlights of the day if there were any. For this one I always use my Esterbrook with a needle point (so I can write really small if necessary) always filled with Diamine’s archival registrars blue/black npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I just saw a YouTube movie and top one represents their team 💕 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Yes 😂 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Nope I’m still safe as I’m not on the US 😅😂😱😭 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 No, so not a dealbreaker 😎 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I have enough inks and am trying to not buy more inks. But that intention has only been since FPD 🙈 Let’s see how long it will last 😅. So I’m not buying any. But the thought of advent presents is very appealing each year. npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I love seeing them too. My sentiment before it starts is “I don’t need that”. Then once it starts “oh that’s so pretty! I wish I’d joined” every year 😂😂😂 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I got a sample of Esterbrook ink with a pen purchase and I’m in love with that ink npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Very pretty colour indeed npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Good catch! Those single ones a day were crazy good prices. This one is a beauty 😍. And that was quick coming from France 😱 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I love reds❤️♥️❤️ npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Meanwhile it’s today🙌🏼😂 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 😁 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Talking to you is like time travelling 😂 sleep well and see you tomorrow for you/later today for me 🤗 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 It’s already tomorrow here! I don’t have any inkvent/colorvent, but will live vicariously through you. Can’t wait 🤗 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I’ve been wanting to swatch my inks, but the existing swatch cards wasn’t what I was looking for. For me swatch cards are mostly about what lines out of a #FountainPen looks like. Then I saw something online, which I’ve adjusted to my needs. This way I can put multiple fountain pens (over a space of time).m. I’ve ordered A4 Tomoe River 68g/m2 which should be printable. I mostly use the thinner version. Let me know if you’d like the pdf by email, which I cannot post on mastodon npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Now that sounds good! npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I bought a commemorative Safari while being on a trip. Of course I was too impatient to wait and put in the cartridge as they didn’t sell converters. I now have my converter in house and want to use one of my many inks. The ink in the cartridge is fairly nice. What would you do #FountainPen community? npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 That looks really very nice. Some writing samples please 🙏🏼 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 #FountainPen npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 #Caturday #FountainPen npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I know of Goulet and Noodlers and agree. What’s with Robert Oster? npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Just think of it that your wallet is trying to lose some weight 😜 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I’ve had mine for about a month as well. I’m impressed. I have few other Jinhao pens I’m not so pleased with. This one I can leave for a week and no/hardly any hard start I’ve refilled it once, but that was after I’d written/drawn a lot with it the first few days. Perhaps try another ink? npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Todays sketch is a #FensterFreitag drawing with #FountainPen coloured in with #WaterColours npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Some #doodling fun on #SketchSunday npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Of course we’d like to see a writing sample npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 I love the Sailor version of the fude de mannen nibs, but I hate the pen (too long and doesn’t fit my pen pouch). Does anybody which other pen takes these fude nibs by sailor? #FountainPen npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 Of course I was curious about the Jinhao 10 retractable #FountainPen See my very few thoughts about it written on paper. Time will tell if it’s as good as the Pilot in not drying out if not used for a while npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 My sister is visiting from Korea next week. I asked her to bring a couple of Shirosuzuku inks for me as they are half price from what they are here. Turns out they have a sale going on at BestPen and it’s only 1/3. I added two more inks 😅. One of them the Kosumosu. Partially fomo 😅 npub1zeu08jr2e0dgmscumlx9jk7qhkkyfls8924rq8a0tsw2q6gm0evsrrr0vf Parker51 It remains to be a force of habit to try to fill my fountain pen as much as possible. After fully filling I suddenly realise I still have so many inks to try, I should not have fully filled it, so it empties earlier. I know I can always chuck an ink, but unless an ink is really terrible in the pen, I'd rather not. Just my upbringing to always be frugal, you just never know. #FountainPen
