Editor’s Note:
Yves, you definitely have some nice combinations of pen and ink here. I think it’s interesting that you mix inks. I received an ink mixing kit for Christmas, but I have yet to experiment. I think I need a few more inks by the same manufacturer so I can safely experiment. Your Visconti Van Gogh is quite beautiful, as is the Pelikan M400 in striated brown. A Visconti Homo Sapiens is probably the next high end pen I’m going to be purchasing. I have a Pelikan M605 that I love. I would really like to try out a specialized nib like your stub though. The wrap you keep the pens in is also very nice to look at. It looks like it does a great job of protecting the pens too. Thanks again for submitting this great loadout, it’s my pleasure to feature it!

Very nice pens and wrap. What brand is that wrap & where did you get it? I would like to try to make a design like that.
This post was actually submitted by a reader of the site, so I’m not entirely sure what kind it is. Thanks for reading though!
