Some of my absolute favorite inks (and ink
pens) to write letters with.....
 |
| Excellent for historic character letters. |
 |
| I don't own this inkwell yet, but I want one. |
 |
| Good for writing and drawing. |
 |
The "Blue" is the one I use the most. Hobby Lobby has
them for sale individually. I like the "Teal" too. |
 |
As with the one above, I don't actually own this
peacock glass inkwell. But I want it. :) |
 |
Perhaps not "accurate" for historic character correspondence.
But sooo pretty. :) |
 |
| Again, less practical- but so fun!! |
 |
| Swirl click ball-point pens by The Write Dudes |
 |
| Gelly Roll Stardust pens by Sakura |
 |
For dark papers. I like to use this on a dark blue shimmer finished
cardstock that has been cut to the size of my card, when I need a
couple more "pages" for my letter. I'm long winded. :) |
 |
| Pretty and smooth gel ink in very bright colors. |
 |
| Same as above, but slightly different feel. |
 |
I usually keep the pink one and give the
purple one to a friend. |
What inks and pens are your favorites to write letters with, my Loves?
Lately, I find myself reaching for the Pilot Hi-Tec C Maica pens more often than not. I love my lovely green Lamy Safari, too, but I just found out about Pilot Acroball pens with a hybrid ink of gel and ballpoint ink, and I want to try them. I have the Uni-ball 207s in pretty colors, but I forget to use them! The Acroball pens are available at Target, I've heard. I think a trip to Target is in my near future.
ReplyDeleteI do want to try an italic nib and eventually a flex nib, fountains pen someday, too. No such thing as too many pens, right?
Indeed there is not! One of my pen friends had a blog called "Confessions of a Pen Thief". LOL! I have a drawer full, but they are all different and used for different things.
DeleteOne thing I didn't list here is that 3 of my favorite pens to use don't even have a name. They came from the dollar store!!! :D
I don't dare get into fountain pens. I'll stick with dips, quills and store-bought-out-of-a-package, etc. ;)
