TWSBI Eco Carrara with Onyx
Last Saturday, I stopped by Gboutiquedestylo.ca and got my Gtwsbi Eco Carrara with Onyx. According to my records, it's my 100th fountain pen (wow, yikes, woah.. all valid).
I asked for this pen as soon as TWSBI made the Amazonite one (turquoise with white), but I would have called it Storm with Onyx (any relationship with a popular book that came out earlier this year is merely a coincidence ;D).
Now, I need help. I have six inks which would work with this pen. Please help me choose!
I hope you have a great day! And if you're in Canada, Happy Thanksgiving!
When choosing ink for the TWSBI Eco Carrara with Onyx, consider how ink color and flow will complement the pen’s marbled design. From experience, Diamine Motn Beam offers a vibrant blue that contrasts beautifully with the pen's sleek black onyx accents. Another favorite is Diamine Christ the Redeemer, which brings a warm hue perfect for everyday writing. Cleaning and maintaining the Eco Carrara is quite straightforward; its piston filling mechanism is smooth and reliable. I find regular cleaning after every few fills helps keep the nib crisp and free from clogging, especially when using more saturated inks. Also, pairing inks that highlight your pen's unique Carrara finish can enhance writing pleasure—try shades that echo earthy tones or cooler blues to make your writing truly stand out. For collectors like me, this pen isn’t just a writing instrument but a piece of art to cherish and use daily. Lastly, if you’re in Canada like me, enjoy your Thanksgiving with this beautiful pen at hand—it's the perfect companion for journaling or sending warm holiday notes. Happy writing!
