EnQueuedBeen going through a stub nib phase again and I've been using a few that I haven't used in quite some time.

PixelNenzzLine and wash with Dip Pen. Birth flower of October: Cosmos Cosmos are herbaceous perennial plants or annual plants growing 0.3–2 m (1 ft 0 in – 6 ft 7 in) tall. The leaves are simple, pinnate, or bipinnate, and arranged in opposite pairs. The flowers are produced in a capitulum with a ring of broad ray florets and a center of disc florets; flower color varies noticeably between the different species. <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#watercolor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolour?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#watercolour</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Art</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Painting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Painting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/MastoArt?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastoArt</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Dutchartist?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dutchartist</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/artwork?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#artwork</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolorpainting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#watercolorpainting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/aquarelle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aquarelle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/artoftheday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#artoftheday</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolordaily?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#watercolordaily</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolourdaily?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#watercolourdaily</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/winsorandnewton?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#winsorandnewton</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Danielsmithwatercolors?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Danielsmithwatercolors</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Princetonbrushes?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Princetonbrushes</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/aquarelle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aquarelle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Watercoloursketchbook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Watercoloursketchbook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Watercoloursketchbook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Watercoloursketchbook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/nibs?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nibs</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Dippen?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dippen</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/ink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ink</a>

TogaThe new Ferris Wheel Press Kickstarter is live! I like the look of the pen, but I don't think I'll be picking it up. I love the engraving on the individual nib set, but I can't help feeling that they've really missed a trick by only having standard nib grinds. Considering their whole shtick is creativity it would have been nice to have some creative grinds, like a cursive italic, a fude, an architect, that kind of thing.<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ferriswheelpress/the-marquise-fountain-pen-and-adventurers-nib-collection?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=ferris%20wheel%20press" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ferriswheelpress/the-marquise-fountain-pen-and-adventurers-nib-collection?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=ferris%20wheel%20press</a><a href="https://penfount.social/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPen</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/Kickstarter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kickstarter</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/nibs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nibs</a>

Cheryl Lindo JonesI'm back this week with a post for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InkSwatchWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InkSwatchWednesday</a>, funnily enough, with no ink swatches! 😅<a href="https://cjs-wunderkammer.ghost.io/ink-swatch-wednesday-van-diemans-graceful-pirouette-and-pilot-medium-nibs/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cjs-wunderkammer.ghost.io/ink-swatch-wednesday-van-diemans-graceful-pirouette-and-pilot-medium-nibs/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/inks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inks</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Pilot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pilot</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nibs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nibs</a>

Cheryl Lindo JonesCan nibmeisters make architects or other specialized nibs from original nib sizes smaller than M? I have a fine stub Schmidt nib which I like a lot, and wondered if it's possible to make architect nibs from F or MF nibs. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nibs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nibs</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/lazyweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lazyweb</a>

Cheryl Lindo JonesAre the Pilot medium nibs the same between the steel nib on something like the Explorer or Metropolitan and the gold medium nib on a Pilot E95s? I find the E95s medium nib to be ridiculously broad and wet (especially relative to a fine on a vintage Pilot Elite) and wondered if the steel nib medium might be less so? 🤔<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Pilot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pilot</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nibs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nibs</a>

Cheryl Lindo JonesI don’t know why I signed up for the restock notification for this awesome-looking nib, as I have no space in the budget for it now. 😭If anyone else gets one of these, I’d love to hear how you like it. <a href="https://www.regalialabs.com/products/crossflex-nib" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.regalialabs.com/products/crossflex-nib</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nibs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nibs</a>

Cheryl Lindo JonesA while back I mentioned you can buy purple nibs from Nahvalur for their pens (and others may be compatible; I fitted my Laban Skeleton with a purple nib transplanted into the Laban housing). I see they also have black and blue now, in addition to the rose gold they offered before. They also have these colors for gold nibs. Since they just released a spring pen with a green nib, they might start offering green nibs in the future. <a href="https://nahvalur.com/collections/nibs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://nahvalur.com/collections/nibs</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nibs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nibs</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PSA</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FYI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FYI</a>

Cheryl Lindo JonesIf I like needlepoint nibs (I have a Franklin-Christoph) and the Kakuno EF nib (which is even finer than the F-C), would I like an EF Sailor nib? I have small writing, so I like finer nibs, or architects, as they work well with my block print writing. Also, is the Sailor zoom nib really broad? I like architect nibs, but not a really fat, rounded one (I’m not sure I like Naginata-Togi nibs, but I haven’t tried an “official” one; got a couple from AliExpress 😅). <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nibs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nibs</a>

TogaI've only gone and made another blog post! This time about a pen with a very unusual nib.<a href="https://blog.stationeryvagaries.com/what-the-fude/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.stationeryvagaries.com/what-the-fude/</a>I've moved platform, so hopefully everything has gone smoothly. If you find any problems, please let me know! I've also added a voiceover for the post for those who would prefer to listen instead of read. I'll be adding this feature to my previous posts over the next few weeks.<a href="https://penfount.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPen</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/nibs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nibs</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/fude" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fude</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/fudenib" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fudenib</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/fudedemannen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fudedemannen</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/musicnib" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musicnib</a>

Cheryl Lindo JonesI posted some thoughts about the stub nib unit I bought for my Waterman Carène: <a href="https://www.cheryllindojones.com/personal/waterman-carne-stub-nib-initial-thoughts" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cheryllindojones.com/personal/waterman-carne-stub-nib-initial-thoughts</a>Sort of a bittersweet realization about stub nibs for me. My preferences aren't fully compatible with wide stub nibs currently, but they can always change. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Waterman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Waterman</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Carene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Carene</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nibs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nibs</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blog</a>

TheGeckoThought today was a shit day because work sucked. Met a friend and one of his pens needs tuning. Life is good. <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPen</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/nibs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nibs</a>

TheGeckoPictures don't do this beauty justice. I was bummed out about it for over a month because the pen is beautiful but the nib was horribly dry. I didn't want the hassle of sending it in (instead choosing to brood, how clever) or work on the nib without a replacement around in case I screwed up. Bought a replacement nib 2 weeks ago that was instantly a great writer and am so happy with the pen now. <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPen</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/nibs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nibs</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/stationary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stationary</a>
