It’s hump day! At Fountain Pen Follies we’re trying to get over the hump. In non-pen news, the Chicago Cubs baseball team won their division series yesterday and next will play for the National League pennant. Wow. Surely the time is out of joint. In a good way.
I’ve been doing a lot of ink testing behind the scenes, and that has been tedious and a little frustrating. I hope things will be cleared up in time for a future post. At this point, if I never again hear the word “chromatography,” I’ll be good. Even seeing the roll of paper towels makes me scowl.
But let’s get over the hump. What’s in the pen cup?

That’s an Edison custom pen in a material Brian Gray calls Tortoise Lucite.

What is the pen just behind the orange Lamy thing?

Good for you for still trying to finish that cartridge! I think I would have given up by now, lol. Another reason to love bottled ink, right? You decide how much to fill up with!
This made me laugh though! Love the tone of it. Heh. Bag of candy, what bag of candy? *rustle*

“One pen in there is hard to see. That is my scandalous recent purchase. That will be pen of the day at some point.”
I know which one that is! Can’t wait for you to show it off!

Oh, that’s nice to hear. Thank you.
Can you watch the games? I literally couldn’t watch any of the Cardinals series. Too agonizing. 🙂

Yay, go Cubs!! I love when you write about other stuff besides just pens (although I love the colors in those posts!) You have a great style — you should do it more!!
