Iroshizuku "Kon-peki," on the tip of my left thumbnail, which is better than two days again when it looked like I was bleeding the stuff.

A gross mess of Noodler's Golden Brown and Borealis Black... I have fixed two Ahabs in the past 12 hours! My new one was dripping all over the place, so I knew exactly what to do when my friend's was doing the same. http://i57.tinypic.com/20u95ir.jpg

Woaw, it´s the first time I see so much ink on a hand ......

I have one little spot of Namiki blue on my finger, right were the clutch ring from this 51 Flighter rests. I don't know if it's leaking or if I just got ink in it while filling it. I'll know after I use it tomorrow.

 

If it leaks, it'll be the second 51 I've had do that.

I recently got a Goulet sample of Tsuki-yo. I was trying to put in my Metropolitan, but I couldn't manage to get a decent fill from the vial, so I had the fantastic idea of using a needle-point syringe to fill the CON-20 converter.

 

Needless to say my fingers are a very pretty shade of blue-green.

I dipped my finger in a drop of Noodler's Red-Black and painted my palm with it, and I was playing with mechanism on my Snorkel so I also have Lamy Green in random splotches on both of my hands.

Brazilwood Ink (Iron Gall) from Scribalworkshop. Looooove the inks from here!!!! Lucas does historical inks. Looking forward to seeing him at the Dallas Pen Show...I hope! :D

Shameless plug. I get nothing from them in any form for sharing the news. I have no personal connection either beyond loving the historic products!

A teeny tiny bit of J. Herbin Rose Cyclamen when I filled up my white Pelikan M205.

It makes me smile seeing this bright pink ink flowing out of a white pen. :)

Diamine Oxblood and a bit of Diamine Autumn Oak. I am loooooooving the Autumn Oak. Perfect for the changing season!

I really like this Diamine Autumn Oak. A friend of mine bring it back from the states for me a few months ago but it´s now empty ..... A pitty that I cannot find it in Belgium. Buying it from USA costs more for P&P than for the ink .....

I've had some Herbin Bleu Pervenche in my favorite pen, a 1950s 146, since Sunday and for some reason when I got to class to take notes today the cap was quite inky! I'm blaming the after effects of this week's full moon for the pen's disturbance...

Noodler's Burma Road Brown. I just got around to trying the sample from Goulet's August ink drop, and managed to swab my fingers along with my sample notebook. The color wasn't even to my taste- just not a fan of brown inks.

Blue, which is unusual because I usually use black.

I'm trying some blue samples (Noodler's, PR, Iroshizuku, and Diamine).
