Diamine Tyrian Purple for my Sheaffer Craftsman Touchdown. Unusual.

 

Yeah, but Tyrian Purple is such a great color....

It is great. And very unusual. Love this chalky vibe :)

Practice, patience, perseverance

Diamine Oxblood.

Every time I look down I temporarily think I have injured myself.

 

Tempted to get some of these just to see what they look like on my fingers.

 

I still think the gangrenous green from Wancher Matcha Green has been my best colour.

No ink on them yet. If it doesn't happen by accident soon, I might have to take more drastic measures. :)

Nothing now, but early this morning it was diluted De Atramentis Ruby Red, from getting a cloggy pen to start writing. Along with a bit of Diamine Havusu Turquoise left over from last night's fill of the M200 Café Crème.

In my wisdom I pulled the nib and feed from a Wality piston filler which was full of Noodler's "Upper Ganges Blue." The operative phrase is 'WAS full'.

Those are some impressive colors you have there chingdamosaic!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I've got a wee spot of Waterman Inspired Blue on my thumb from filling my Neon Lime Lamy Safari earlier this evening. I really love this ink. I'm still new to fountain pens, and so have a tendency to swap between inks on very nearly every fill -- not this time. I ran out of Inspired Blue, and refilled immediately; it never even occurred to me to wonder if I wanted a different ink.

I haven't loaded up any of my pens yet, but I picked up a bottle of J. Herbin Lie de Thé over the weekend -- I'd been wanting to pick up a brown anyway. Other than that, it's lately been Waterman Blue-Black, or Private Reserve Vampire Red.

Got a few drops of Ancient Copper on my fingers from overfilling the cartridge for my new Plumix 1.1mm. Also filled my new 'Charlie'pen with Noodlers Heart of Darkness without getting a drop on me. Very first eyedropper pen, excited.

Koh-i-noor Document Blue, from 'safely' transporting ink from the main bottle to a small sampler bottle to take to work. I was using a 10ml syringe and blunt dispensing needle (no more inky tattoos...).

 

I swear the ink migrated through the glass onto my fingers. Treally ruly. Cross my heart and ho....

Piffle, now have inky cross on chest..

Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-kai while filling my EDC (Pilot Prera, medium stub) last night. Washing the ink off my fingers before they have a chance to stain usually keeps my fingers not-so-colorful, but I didn't notice the ink seeping through the folded paper towel until too late. So now I have a dark stain on my right thumb as if I just had my thumbprint taken!
