Macro March... by vignouse

Macro March...

... it is suggested that, for this the third week of Macro March, we should look to feature more everyday items. I guess a fountain-pen is not so 'everyday' any more, but I still use one.

If, on the other hand, you would like to see more of the bees - you'll find one in my Doubletakes album for today.
I still use a fountain pen too. Love this picture and the writing.

Lovely! I had a gold nib pen with which I used peacock blue ink I drew up from the bottle - but somehow the pen went missing years ago. How lovely to see a "real" pen again!

@therubysusan Mrs S always uses peacock blue ink - my preference is for brown. This is my ordinary pen, I bounced the Scheaffer recently and haven't got round to getting a new nib for it yet.

How lovely to see an italic nib, we all had to write italic at school. My preference was turquoise Quink. At school a man used to come round and fill the ceramic inkwells with a teapot filled with ink!!

I love ink pens too, my Mont Blanc is one of my most treasured possessions. It's a shame they fell out of fashion.

Beautiful macro - and gorgeous purple tones. I love fountain pens - could be the reason I married my husband 35 years ago.

Great macro, I still use a fountain pen too and I find I can write much better with it than with a biro.

Wonderful capture. I love a fountain pen. Don't own one but think they write a lovely line.

Lovely shot Richard and very unique

great shot. I didn't know anyone still used those. I used to like using them but usually got ink all over my fingers.

lovely shot - nice to see one still in action, not just dug out for calligraphy work
