Thoughts Before Filling

It’s time to rotate another purple ink in for my daughter’s diary. This time around I’m going to use a waterproof ink with the hope that her diaries will last her life, and when she’s an old woman she can still read them and remember how much I love her. I haven’t used my Ghost Koi pen in quite some time, and I recently modified the nib so I thought I’d put the pen back into service. I’m looking forward to this!

Thoughts After Cleaning the Pen

Of the three pens I used all year for daughters’s diaries, this was by far my favorite, which surprised me. The nib was perfect, offering a delicate line which matched the ink to my mind. The ink went down a lovely shade of purple and darkened quite delightfully. The end result, especially on cream paper, was a visual delight. I am surprised that I only had to refill this pen twice throughout the year, considering I used it every-other day, which is a testament to the fineness of the line.

I’m retiring this combination for now, but I suspect I will one day return this ink to this pen.
