Wander through the pendemonium of pens, papers, and inks unleashed by the opening of the Pendora's Box.
Continuing on the summer theme for Throwback Thursday, we take a look back at another pen + ink combo from my July line-up. Now, I’ve had in my mind to do a fulsome review of Noodler’s Raven Black so this Throwback will have a little more than usual.
Read MoreI’m posting my pen & ink line-up a later than originally planned. I had hoped that a new pen that shipped out at the end of September would have arrived in time to join the October line-up. I decided to go ahead and post my Currently Inked for October and do an addendum for the new pen.

Tracking of my pen and ink combinations in a central place has helped my senile mind greatly. I still feel the choice of using the Tomoe River Notebook bound by Coach House Press for Wonderpens for my Currently Inked log is a good one. Great paper in a nice form factor.
It was a little hard to choose the new inks this month due to the number of holdovers from last month. It was kind of unfortunate I was forced to top up a few pens with 3 days left in March to accommodate a one-day out of town trip. But, it's all good as long as I have pens with ink to write with.

Since it's Chinese New Year, I thought I would do something a little different and just focus on one New Year greeting. I went with something other than the usual "Gung Hay Fat Choy" (or "Gong Xi Fa Chai").
