It's St Patrick's Day so ... my fingers are Diamine meadow. (I told people at work that I had cut my finger and the green stuff was my blood.)

I've got small traces of Henry Hudson Blue and Pelikan Edelstein Garnet from when I was working with them today, but I think what really horrifies me is that my nails are still stained with Baystate Blue-- it's been a week since I had sampled that ink!

A little Blackstone Barrier Reef Blue. Tried to open the flow in my red Kaweco Sport ICE a little. Opened it a lot.

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

Mont Blanc Leonardo Red Chalk.

 

I had silently lusted :wub: after this ink for ages when someone out of the blue popped a vial in the post to me last December. I promised I'd fill up my Vac 700 with it next fill and here it is.

Not so easy to fill one of these with a syringe :wacko: :rolleyes: :blush: but it's so pretty I'm not going to wash for a week.

I'm impressed; I've never managed to fill mine with a syringe.

Hmm, can't say I'd do it again, or recommend it . . . but it's completely full now.

I'd say it's the only safe and reliable way to fill it 100%; much easier and cleaner than trying to push the air out with the piston, as Brian Goulet and Stephen Brown have demonstrated. Below my Vac700 with Emeraude de Chivor.

I have three new pens coming in today (580AL Green, Vac Mini, Botanica Green Daylily), so I will try my best to rectify my clean finger problem. I'm looking forward to skin painting with GvFC Moss Green, Akkerman Chinatown Red, and Lamy Turquoise.

I comfort myself with the thought that everybody who eats cornflakes, dies.

ETA: I've got De Atramentis Indigo Blue on the side of my right middle finger (right around where I'm developing a callus :( from pen use). I like the ink a lot. But I was waving the pen (Dollar 717i) around a bit the other night and got ink in the cap, *and* on my hand. And Even though I washed my hair yesterday afternoon, the shampoo did NOT get all of Indigo Blue off....

There we go. It is a good day.

And Ruth, writing calluses is nothing to be sad about. It only shows that you are a honourable and hard working penophile.

Well, I'm a bit concerned because a while back I had some sort of splinter in the same spot. I need to start soaking my hand and taking an emery board to the place again....

On the plus side, the DA Indigo is finally off (only took 2 days...).
