My week of insanity.  Thought I would take a quick picture to memorialize it forever. 

Too Many Pens Inked: This Week's Lineup

April 2, 2015

So I sat down this morning, preparing for my day, and realized that due to some reviews in progress and new ink purchases, I have WAY too many pens inked, and plan on inking three more soon.  (What, I'm supposed to let three brand new bottles of ink just sit there unused until I actual drain a pen?!)  I might as well give you all a post out of it, even though I personally consider having this many inked-up fountain pens to be insane.  What can I say, I'm working my way through them.  They are: 

  1. Parker Vacumatic Major (3rd Generation), Green Celluloid with Medium Nib, inked with Franklin-Christoph Olde Emerald. 
  2. Waterman Man 100 Patrician, Coral Red with Fine Nib, inked with Bung Box Sapphire.
  3. Sailor 1911 Large, Black with Silver Trim, Nagahara-modified Music Nib, inked with Sailor Jentle Apricot.
  4. Waterman Hemisphere, Black with Gold Trim, Fine Nib, inked with Sailor Jentle Oku-Yama.
  5. Karas Kustoms Ink, Black with Copper Grip, Medium Nib, inked with Sailor Jentle Grenade. 
  6. Kaweco AC-Sport in Red, Medium Nib, inked with Kaweco Blue cartridge. 
  7. Montblanc 146 with .6mm Binder Stub, inked with my mixture of Sheaffer Skrip Red and Aurora Black. 
  8. Pilot Vanishing Point in Matte Black with Masuyama Broad Stub, inked with Bung Box Blue Black. 
  9. Pilot Metropolitan, Plain Black with a medium nib, inked with my Skrip/Aurora Red-Black mix. 
  10. Sailor Pro Gear Imperial Black Edition, Fine Nib, Inked with Iroshizuku Yu-Yake. 

I have bottles of Montblanc Corn Poppy Red, JFK Blue Black, and Edelstein Garnet on the way, so I really, really need to write some of these pens dry.  I have several InCoWriMo responses in progress, so that will help, but seriously people, I feel like I have issues.
