I think it's saturated and strong enough to hold up to dip pens, albeit with a small amount of feathering. <br /><br />Ooh, I am making a to-do list (more of a to-shop-for list!) for when I get to Berlin tomorrow, and you've just reminded me to write down Leuchtturm1917. It's not sold locally, so I haven't been able to try them yet - looking forward to it!Adwoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457285629002149759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-88164423649410548002011-05-25T09:10:48.598-07:002011-05-25T09:10:48.598-07:00Only now I can put a grown-up facade on my childho...<i>Only now I can put a grown-up facade on my childhood playtime by claiming that "I'm modulating the time crystals in order to earn X number of reputation points and unlock the next paradox."</i><br /><br />Exactly! Heh...<br /><br />Come to think of it, we did the world building thing as kids, too, mostly with those wonderful old wood blocks. (Why are such things so hard to find these days??) Good times.Elizabeth H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09161162407130146871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-48376106882211369202011-05-25T09:05:22.828-07:002011-05-25T09:05:22.828-07:00I'll have to do some sort of review of the ink...I'll have to do some sort of review of the ink eventually, though I doubt I can do as nice a job as Adwoa. Can't wait to see it in person! And I just love a lot of the literary or poetic names of some of the Noodler's inks, goofy though they may be. <br /><br />I also keep meaning to write up a bit about the Leuchtturm1917 notebook I got at Powell's Books. I'm about halfway through it, and (with a few minor caveats) pleased with it. As far as ink goes, at least, it works much better than Moleskine. Pricier than composition books, of course, and I wouldn't use 'em for just scribbling, but as journals...they're quite nice.Elizabeth H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09161162407130146871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-32100615815725111332011-05-25T09:02:25.097-07:002011-05-25T09:02:25.097-07:00Ugh.

And the dog (forget its name) could still be seen in the search feature right up until Windows 7.<br /><br />As you have probably seen, I, too, am hopelessly addicted to Gardens of Time. It reminds me of the little worlds I and my friends used to create out of boxes, action figures, and Matchbox cars. Only now I can put a grown-up facade on my childhood playtime by claiming that "I'm modulating the time crystals in order to earn X number of reputation points and unlock the next paradox. Yeah, that's the ticket."Machines of Loving Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286532870875619199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-7790312343993879562011-05-24T20:18:23.207-07:002011-05-24T20:18:23.207-07:00That was a very generous gift.

It is plated with something and it is the smoothest dip nib I've tried. The 314 has my has become my favotite non-italic nib.<br /><br />Please let us know about the Noodlers ink you ordered. It sounds intriguing. I wish someone sold it locally.<br /><br />Jeff The BearAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
