Unconsiously played with the converter of a filled pen.

 

My fingers are covered with Diamine Oxblood.

A bit of magenta that BSiAR likes to turn after the darker parts wash off your hands, covered with a good bit of Ku-jaku. I seem to have horrible luck with Ku-jaku. I spilled my sample on my hands about a month ago, and now I finally have a bottle and accidentally squirted it out of my 580 when trying to prime the nib... Of course it happened while switching from the B to EF nib, right before I went to work. :rolleyes:

So many inks, so little time...

I re-inked several daily choices, *but* I did load up two brand-new-to-me that I'm enjoying so far:

 

Waterman Absolute Brown (I wanted an easy brown for a finicky pen)

DA Charles Dickens (a warm gray from one of my favorite ink brands. Feeling saucy, using w/a 1.1 nib.)

Sailor Jentle Blue from squeesing a cartridge trying to make my Sailor Lecoule write directly.

Rohrer & Klingner Magenta and Smaragdgrun from testing them in my Parker Sonnet. I decided on inking it with the Smaragdgrun.

Some Baystate Blue. It's easier to wash off than I thought. It goes away in 1-2 days just like any other ink I've been using.

Cleaned out my Vac 700, which had Sailor Grenade in it and accidentally dipped my hands into the water... and my right hand was pink....

 

One hour later I filled a Vista with Akkerman Treves Turquoise and this ink had immensely high surface tension, I thought I pushed air out of the pen, because the converter seemed empty, but there was ink stuck in the top... and my left hand was turquoise....

 

And this stuff doesn't come off easily... on paper it washes away pretty quickly, but on skin? After trying soap, nail polish remover, makeup remover and brake cleaner!!! I gave up...

What a strange world we live in, where people communicate by text more than ever before, yet the art of proper handwriting is seen as a thing from the past.

Yesterday I received three inks, Parker Quink, Pelikan Edelstein Garnet, and J. Herbin scented green, so that are also the colors on my fingers. Fortunately the most of the Herbin already faded away.

Edelstein Topaz, wearing off because I was restoring the edge of a lovely 12-inch chef's knife I picked up at a garage sale -- for ten bucks.
