Inky T O D - What Would You Buy For The Fpner Who (Theoretically) Has Everything?

[amberleadavis]

Before ya'll think I"m speaking for myself

I"m also thinking of USMCMom

 

Sexauerw (his collection is now much larger, but love the droid).

Rainbow Bright

 

[amberleadavis]

I'm really looking for the collections of Lapis, Sam Capote and Saskia Madding perhaps even Pterdactalus because I'm sure these FPNers have tried every ink imaginable.

 

Taz is off to a good start.

If one has everything, he/she needs a second Visconti Homo sapiens.

You know, AmberLea, if you move those books out of the way, you'd have a lot more room for inks....

Well, the new book shelves haven't been moved in yet.

 

But, tell me what ink you'd pick out for me?

I stopped adding names... you know who the ink lovers are... Ethernautrix ... what should someone buy YOU!

[carlos.q]

How about a bottle of a really hard to get ink like Parker Penman Sapphire?

[ethernautrix]

Hahaha, I know of only two inks I have that you don't, and one of them you could probably mix with your own inks (if you have the two, which you probably do) and one of them is probably on the way to you. (*Grins)

 

The first is a gorgeous red made from equal parts Platinum Mix Free Sunny Yellow and PMF Silky Purple.

 

The second is the KWZ Blue #3.

 

You'll probably have many more KWZ inks than I very soon, and I am looking forward to seeing your photos and tests.

[The Blue Knight]

Do you ever wonder what you will do with all that ink eventually. I mean we are all on this plant for a limited amount of time and from what I can tell you have enough ink to last 10 generations there. Do you have any idea of what you are going to do with them when one day when you have to stop fountain pen collecting.

 

 

I don't mean to be rude I have a similar addiction to notebooks. I have more then enough of them to finish my degree but I still keep buying them.

 

I do have to make an ink fund rather then a pen fund soon as thanks to you and other helpful inkophiles I have really started to find ink interesting.

That would be a good gift for any FPNer...I love my Emerald.

 

The old Skrip inks are great gifts.

[ethernautrix]

Have you tried the Faber Castell Stone Grey? It is lovely.

 

How about Caran d'Ache Grand Canyon? Diamine Sepia, too.

 

Waterman Mystere Bleu for those who don't like their dark blue inks to remain dark blue but magically change to a pretty teal with red highlights.

 

I've tried a few Pharmacist inks, too. I don't know the actual names, but one is Absynth-something and the other is Turkish Nights (I think). Very pretty.

 

Ya know, I don't think of myself as an Inky person, but I might have to re-assess. (*Laughs)

Believe it or not, I consume in various ways about 20 bottles of 50 ml bottles per month, that's 1000 ml of ink that I send out to the inky world. Most of the ink I send out to others. About once a quarter I do a whole bunch of samples (hence how I consumed 14 bottles of the 150 ml Akkerman inks - most of the samples out there came from me). I also paint with it, rabidly doodle oh and I do that stuff called write.

 

When I give up inkkeeping, I'll give them to my kids who are developing their own love of the ink.

Hey what are those two types of bottles on the right between the Caran and the DeAtrementis? I don't recognize the blue box or the plastic bottles. I can identify everything else on the shelf.

[ethernautrix]

As for what anyone "should" buy me... I'd be happy with another bottle of Noodler's Black. (Hahaha.)

[Uncle Red]

I was going to say storage. I was thinking of Brian Anderson's pen storage case.

 

So, how about an antique ink bottle. 19th century, 16th century, 1st century.

 

An antique written document.

 

An antique stylus, say Roman era.

Oh the shame

 

I'd buy you some kind of lighting to fit in your case to make your collection glow at night and beckon you to take another fill . . .

 

 

(I think migo984 may well need to be named and shamed here . . . )

What about a nice ink blotter....there was a nice English walnut one in the classifieds yesterday. Or what about a desk set, you know the type with provision to have a blotter pad to write on, a stamp dispenser, and in and out basket for letters etc. Anyone who has that much ink must write.
