[Morwen]

MB Corn Poppy Red. It looks just so yummy in the reviews, I can't wait!

I just signed up for the Goulet Pen's ink drop if anyone has experience with that. Seems like a pretty sweet deal to explore new inks.

 

Since I'm still pretty much in the introductory phase of fountain pen using / collecting the only inks I have are Noodler's Black & Bad Belted Kingfisher.

 

From what I read and see online of the color Iroshizuku's Kon Peki seems friggin amazing and I definitely want to get that next.

Imperial Purple, Majestic Blue, and Sherwood Green are all very nice colours I've tried from that list.

Noodler's Heart of Darkness. The big 'un, 4.5 oz. You can never have too much black ink.

[HollyGolightly]

• Private Reserve - Shell Pink
• Diamine - Hope Pink
• Iroshizuku - Kosumosu
• Sailor Jentle - Peche
• Noodler's - Blue Ghost

You may see a theme emerging, and one stray outlier.

I participate in the ink drop! Or at least, I have paid for 3 months. We'll see how that goes. Did you get yours in the mail yet?

[sansa]

My bottles of Sailor Oku-yama and Pilot Blue-Black are yet to arrive. Six Toucan inks should be arriving tomorrow.

 

And I just bought two more bottles of Iroshizuku

 

 

 

• Private Reserve - Shell Pink
• Diamine - Hope Pink
• Iroshizuku - Kosumosu
• Sailor Jentle - Peche
• Noodler's - Blue Ghost

Four bottles of pink?! Is this for journalling or what?

It's my favorite color! I simply would not be me if I didn't have a myriad of pink inks at my disposal. And I'm sure all that pink will be mostly used for journaling. And letter writing during incowrimo.

 

Though to be fair I still need to find my ideal blue-black and black inks for more practical things such as signing checks and ...whatever other boring things that would get me strange looks if I used pink.

 

Edited to ask: Which Iroshizuku inks do you own? I have a feeling I'm going to become enamoured and want more of their lovely colors.

Iroshizuku shin kai and yama budo

Been waiting almost 3 weeks

Looks like we both have impractical favourite colours... mine's yellow-green. And I assume the Blue Ghost is to be used for mixing slightly lighter shades of pink?

 

They do look like lovely inks.

 

I only have three Iro inks, two of which are in the mail... both of their greys and Chiku-rin. (My ink palette in other brands is broader, I swear!) Kiri-same's not the most conventional of inks, being grey, but it's fantastic when I'm feeling introspective. It's the grey of a deep fog, with brown/purple undertones like the silt in falling rain.

[Veltri]

Caran d'Ache Grand Canyon from an online retailer. Can't wait to see if it actually comes.

[apkayle]

Sailor Epinard and Private Reserve Avacado.

[alarickc]

I finally broke down and ordered a bottle of MB Defoe Palm Green. I can't resist a nice yellow-green, especially a limited one. (Yes, I am constantly suckered by limited edition inks. I am the reason those evil marketeers pull that particular stunt...)

Ha! Honestly I wanted to tinker around with writing in "invisible" ink (also to use it to highlight in my books without leaving visible marks), but hmmm you have a point! I should try that!

 

Ah, that is such a lovely description of that grey color. It sounds beautiful. I love when you can really see the other tones that compose a color, much like you described.

The more uses the better, I say. And now you've got me wondering if I should mess around with a bottle of my own...

 

It so is! And I agree completely. I always find myself gravitating to unusual inks, ones you couldn't easily mix yourself. What got you into the fountain pen hobby?
