Pelikan

• Edelstein Aquamarine

Received these earlier this week. I was counting with a full set of 60 samples but only received 56, maybe Konrad discontinued some... Still, so many nice inks and gorgeous colors to try! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/600x900q90/923/gtt5VG.jpg

If you received Grey Lux and Raspberry, I would love to see writing samples! It is hard to find writing samples of these inks. This picture makes me want to order all those samples too! Must resist...

[KyleKatarn]

I did receive Grey Lux and Raspberry, yes. I shall make a quick review of them as soon as I have time to do it.

 

EDIT: As per Rach31 request, a handwritten samples of KWZI Grey Lux (click on the images for better quality). More on the Raspberry when I can find some time.

Oh please.. post writing samples of that as soon as you can..

[amberleadavis]

I just tried De Atramentis Sapphire, now I need to buy a bottle.

[Pensei]

KyleKatern, thanks for making me feel better about having more samples than I can keep up with.

[KyleKatarn]

Pensei, where is the fun in having just a few inks? The more the merrier

I just ordered a bottle of Iroshizuku Murasaki-shikibu. This is less than 72 hours after I picked up a bottle of Noodler's Texas Blue Bonnet. I hope these two can quench my thirst for inks for now... It's a good thing I don't have any really thirsty pens!

I love that Iro.

[ScienceChick]

PE Aquamarine, Caran d'Ache Divine Pink and (something) Gray. My first gray ink.

[Aelie]

I love that Iro.

 

Murasaki-shikibu often gets overlooked for more intense colors in the line such as Yama-budo, but I personally prefer brighter and softer colors like it and Ama-iro. I feel that those brighter inks really help bring out my personality when I write with them. Perhaps there is a connection between ink color preference and personality?

Just won a bottle of PPS, which I look forward to comparing to my Tekker version. I placed the minimum bid on the PPS 3 days ago, and nobody else bid. Got it for a good bit less than other bottles from the same seller that were contested, and for about half of one of the buy-it-now prices I saw today. Still kicking myself for not buying cases of it when it first came out back in the day.

 

Also shipped today: GvFC Moss Green and Midnight Blue, and Noodler's Berning Red just for fun (from Goulet).

Just received one bottle of Kobe #37 and one bottle of Kobe #38. Had to pay 25 € in customs duties and VAT. First time I've had to pay import on my inks or pens...

[Kiaxa]

15ml of Take-Sumi, been wanting a bottle for a while so I can enjoy Iroshizuku in class (my other bottle is tsuyu-kusa and it's a bit too light for note taking) and when I was browsing eBay I thought "why not?".

[Mew]

My friend got 3 bottles of Maruzen Fukurou and he is giving me one when he heard that I couldn't get one.

 

I guess it's true, that's what friends are for.

 

Edit: I will personally pick it up from him since I do not want to trouble him to send to me. He is doing me a big favor as it is.

I just received Diamine Autumn Oak supposedly for my Pelikan M320 Orange.

 

It looks as though it might sneak its way into other pens as well.... fantastic shading!

You have good friends...
