Never posted my SF Pen show haul. Not much, but I finally joined the Murex club. The #pilotmurex is a ladies model, and my get was my #bungbox cotton rollcase... Lastly, the #opus88 is included just because it’s red.

Lovely handwritten newsletter done with Bung Box inks... (at Hamamatsu-shi, Shizuoka, Japan)

Throwback Thursday: Platinum 3776 Century Sai + Bungbox Kotohogi Kurenai (New Year Red)

We’ve had a couple of unseasonably warm days here. So for this weeks’ Throwback Thursday, I revisit a hot red pen + ink combo from my July line-up.

Handwritten Review

Pen: Platinum 3776 Century Sai F

Ink: Bungbox Kotohogi Kurenai(New Year Red)

Paper: Rhodia No. 16 Grid

I mean, this is not a dark red. It’s bright. Kind of a water colour type look when it dries. But it doesn’t look at all pink. I didn’t think this ink would be good for writing but it’s OK. Even in this Platinum medium nib. I’m not sure I would go with a narrower nib than this one though. I did enjoy having this ink in the line-up just to have something very bright. Sunny. I could actually live with this as a daily writer. Of course, it works for emphasis, accents, etc. This ink flows well. It’s lubricated just right. Well-behaved on Rhoda. I don’t think I have many red inks so this is something a bit different for me.

Closing Comments

On a sad note, this review was one of the last things I wrote with this Platinum 3776 Century Sai before it’s nib made a break for freedom down the drain whilst I was cleaning it. I miss using that crystal clear pen and that sweet nib!!

This red ink is hard to miss. I enjoy using it for annotations or editing. Is it the perfect teacher’s red?

Chinese Cacography: 男孩 Boy

My little guy had hockey try-outs this weekend and made the team!  Proud mama here.  So, this one is a tribute to little boys.

Pen: Franklin-Christoph Pocket 40 Blue-Violet and Ice 1.1 Ink: Bungbox Hatsuyume Aofuji

Brush: Platinum Natural Weasel Hair Brush Pen Ink: Platinum Black

Chinese Cacography (i.e. chicken scratch) is my attempt to combine using fountain pens and Chinese characters writing practice. Unless otherwise noted, the paper used is always Baron Fig Apprentice Dot grid.

Trying out a newer holder and new ink.
