What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

Just flushed and cleaned a number of pens: Pelikan Edelstein Topaz and Jade, Private Reserve Midnight Blues, PR Copper Burst.

There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man

that he does not know until he takes up his pen to write.

I've got Diamine Asa Blue on my fingers... again...

 

It's starting to become a daily occurrence!

Noodler's Apache Sunset. Yeah!!! Got it today from Greenman on ebay (same place I got my Noodler's flex pen). And guess what pen I put it in first...

Sailor Oku Yama, with a hint of Iroshizuku Yu-Yake and Noodler's Habanero (and a touch of pilot black cartridge).

Parker Quink here, I detail stripped my TWSBI Diamond 530 and as usual the Quink got everywhere. Not sure whether to use it up or pitch it and replace it with Noodler Polar Black - my favorite characteristic of Polar Black is that it does not bond in any way shape or form just to the paper.

Mixed MB emeral green with Sheaffer Black. Just the green I have been looking for and acceptable at work.

 

6 of 10 fingers now have a combination of the above inks. :headsmack:

Diamine Classic Red, they do fill the bottles so full. It does look rather as if i'm in need of first aid despite 5 minutes trying to remove the worst of it

"for what is love, if not the willingness to repeat oneself?"

Parker Penman Sapphire. As my remaining supply dwindles I find it more difficult to get enough ink into the filling insert so I end up tilting and swirling a bit, inevitably getting some on my hands.

 

I will definitely miss this beautiful ink when it is completely used up.

Today my hands are actually ink-free. I know - whaaaaat? :D

 

Though Sunday it was looking rather funny... I had both Le Couleur Royale and Habañero on my fingers.

I have Noodler's Habañero and love it - the shading effects are insane. But I've been dying to take it a shade lighter and pick up Apache Sunset for ages...

Noodlers Dragon Napalm... frigging cartriges...

 

I was showing my daughter all the ink tests I had on hand and she seems to like blue inks (yuck) and bright reds. So I filled one of her empty cartridges for her cheapie Pilot pen, forgot the name of the plastic mini pens.. The cartridge has a sealing disk that just spins vertical when inserted... Capping it with a small rod was a bit interesting as many times I put to much pressure and the disc popped right on over splashing a drop of high velocity ink up wards all over my fingers... I have Mercurochrome looking fingers...

Diamine Imperial Purple and Sapphire Blue. Just arrived today and I inked my new FPs with them. However, I do not have a FP yet to ink with the Emerald. Otherwise my hands would have shown traces of green too. Add some red and yellow and I would have had rainbow hands.

Anyway, the inks are really beautiful but it took me ages and a lot of scrubbing to get it off my fingers. No complaining though, better these wonderful looking inks than black grease or something like that.....
