Let me know what you think of the color!

 

Will do> As always, give me 6 months because next is Nodaiko Violet, then Irori, then Nishikisan Black purple, then Rikyu-cha and finally Mandarin duck.

Platinum Pigmented Rose Red

Private Reserve American Blue

 

I ordered the red for sketching, mainly. Sometimes I like to draw in my sketchbook with something other than the usual black or blue-black.

 

I wasn't sure whether to go with American Blue, DC Supershow Blue or Electric DC Blue. My first PR ink, actually.

Montblanc Pink, just cartridges.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

I can wait. Bc) However, you really should allow me to send you a glass dip pen. :rolleyes:

Not technically waiting for them myself, but am having 2 bottles of Rikyu-cha sent to FP friends as surprise gifts.

I hope they like it. I like it a lot myself.

I sent a surprise bottle of Joyful-2 Purple Heart to another pen pal recently. I was more excited waiting for her to get it than when I'm waiting for my own inks to arrive. I truly believe that giving is better than receiving; at least, it makes me happier :-)

Jon Szanto sent me a sample of J. Herbin Stormy Grey a little while back. I liked it a lot, even without the sparkles I find it nice with a broad edge nib.

 

Anyway, saw some on the 'Bay at a very good price and exceptionally low 'round the world' shipping, so I plunked for a bottle. Also added a bottle of Emerald of Chivor as well. Like you do!

 

Given up on ever getting hold of anything by Pen & Message, or Sailor Epinard (had a sample, loved it).

 

Considering Sailor Miruai though. Maybe. :)

Sailor Irori arrived yesterday. Shosaikan Seiran should be here any day.

One GLASS bottle of Noodler's Liberty's Alysium :)

My palette is missing a "true" blue and I didn't wanna risk damaging some expensive pens, therefore, opted not to get BSB...

 

Have to say I really like that label. Several quotes along the edges and good depiction of some historical individuals in American History. Am I the only one that appreciate those Noodler's labels? Every time I'm about to buy one of their ink, after looking it up online and realizing that it's one of the generic Noodler's label with the fish, I kinda lose interest! lol

A large 350ml bottle of Pilot Blue-Black. I have wanted to buy this ink for a long time and I finally acted on that wish.

Waiting for 15 ink samples, all from Sailor, including many special editions. Sadly I don't know their English names so I couldn't list them out here.

 

Also a bottle of Storia Lion Brown and Fire red.

Very excited now although I have to wait until August to get them...

I've been using this as my standard ink at the office for awhile in a Pilot Custom 823. You won't be disappointed. Just a bit more blue and less gray than Iro Shin-kai, and a lot less expensive.
