Rummaging around I found it and pressed gently against the page, and was really gratified and a bit surprised to see it had worked. Surprised because the ink left on the page was two shades lighter than what I'd written. That is a lot of ink, but these blotter cards are large and re-usable so there should be no more problems with smudging.
I've gotten to like pressing this against the page, there's something satisfyingly tactile about writing with a fountain pen and then blotting the paper. The advertising blotters are made from 100-pound heavyweight blotter stock, which has a nice rough feel to it, and the five pin-ups are wonderfully retro.
I picked up one of those at the Philadelphia Pen show but had no idea it was a blotter. I just thought it was an over-sized business card.
ReplyDeleteSay, what pen is that lurking behind the wire binding on your notebook? I love that color!
The pen is a Namiki Grance and the color is Yamabuki Koi, for the orange gold koi fish. It is one of my top pens, the pic doesn't do it justice. :)
