What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

[Aysun]

Lamy Dark Lilac

[clazbill]

Noodler's Bankers Tan

Iroshizuku Ina Ho (Rice Ear)

 

I rather like the Bankers Tan; it was a special edition produced for the Dallas Pen Show in 2015, so I know when my (tiny, 1oz) bottle is used up that's it. So I'm searching for other inks that could replace it. I had hoped the InaHo would be close. I'd say it is in the same color family, but firmly different.

Call Larry Dromgoole and see if he can get any more. I haven't found an ink exactly like it and I really enjoyed it.

Unknown blue today, have been flushing a Parker Arrow the whole day. Seems, an entire cartridge has dried up in the feed.

Diamine / Cult Pens Deep Dark Green, from flushing my Sheaffer / Ranga Frankenpen. It doesn't come easy...

Today it was a bit of Waterman's Mysterious Blue. I was trying to make a shopping list because I need to bake cookies for this weekend for a couple of parties, and partway checking to see what I had and didn't have in the house discovered to my horror that I was missing the cap for my Red Shadow Wave Vac. I ended up putting the pen inside a plastic ziplock sandwich bag, and sticking it somewhere so it would stay upright, nib up. And eventually discovered that the cap had fallen into a dirty skillet in the kitchen sink.... So the pen was good, once I cleaned the cap a little bit with Dawn dish detergent (which is a degreaser). And I could recap the pen, and get it out of the bag.

But it turned out that the nib poked a bit of a hole in the bag in the process -- plus there was some ink inside the cap, and some on the nib as well....

My pens did not appreciate being in a hot car at higher altitude than usual, so I have Diamine blue pearl and oxblood, as well as J. Herbin Rose all over my hands.

 

And a touch of Lamy dark lilac.

A bit of J. Herbin Perle Noire as I cleaned out two Vacumatics that I wrote dry.

Sailor shigure, that ink bottle seems to be jinxed.

[chromantic]

Oku-yama, because the new, pretty sparkly-red Sheaffer Stylist leaks ever so slightly where the nib screws into the section.

Will perhaps try some silicon.

[Mannyonpil]

Just a touch of Noodler's Blue-Black on my thumb. I wiped a spot off the nib.

Sailor Shigure and a little bit of Akkermans Treves Turquoise ... I am just too goofy to ink up my Carene and Concord without accident

[OCArt]

Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Budo. I was very surprised to find out how much I like this color and now I always have pen inked with it. Do yourself a favor and give it a try--- you might be surprised too!

Just the smallest bit of Blackstone Inks Daintree Green. I reckon there's been enough nib creep to get out into the cap. Or maybe the pen suffered a small drop or shake and some ink splashed into the cap ... you know how that goes.

A bit of Diamine Twilight - from inking my "new" Parker Slimfold.

[glorfindel]

Yama Dori.

 

I got my first sailor bottle and was anxious to see if it had the ink well which was not visible. Impatiently, I did not look hard enough for any tools to dig it out with and just used my finger...
