What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

[ca49reber]

DeA Bookworm. Filled an old Parker Sonnet for a trip, got there, took off the cap, & green ink went all over my hands.

[inkstainedruth]

Some black Quink (I know, I know. But it works for me ), some Skrip blue-black, and a tiny bit of Noodler's Starry Night.

 

Hey! Nothing wrong with Quink Black there. Well, other than it being a black ink.... It's a good tester ink for pens, if nothing else.

For me, today, it's a bit of De Atramentis Sky Blue, from filling the new TWSBI kI got on Saturday. The pen isn't all that expensive. But when you add in 3 bottles of De Atramentis (Sky Blue, Gold, and Van Dyck Brown) along *with* the pen....

Iroshizuku Yama-Guri. Never thought i would say this about a brown ink, but it may be my favorite in my fine Vanishing Point.

Diamine Asa Blue. Seems like my Sheaffer Tuckaway is leaking

[HollyDav]

My left thumb is the color of Iroshizuku Asa Gao.

[DarkAudit]

More FPN Van Gogh Starry Night, because it hadn't quite dried on the Rhodiarama paper after nearly an hour. The Quink on a different Estie dried in seconds on the same page.

Blue, and black, having just peeled pesky plastic pseals from two bottles of Aurora inks.

Mine are that exact same color becauseI learned that the ink bottle cap is bakelite, which I also learned will break when knocked off a 6-foot high shelf enough times. Luckily I mostly keep bottles of ink in their boxes, so this cap didn't shatter (could have messed up more than my fingers!). But it was crumbly when I opened the box to use some of the ink.

 

Out of 3 fl.oz. of ink I managed to transfer maybe 2.5 oz. into other bottles.

The Berning Red showed up today, and of course I had to test it out. Dries in about 15 seconds on either my Rhodiarama or Miquelrius paper. Faster on copy paper or newsprint.

Had an incident when filling a converter from a sample vial of R&K Morinda. It got under the rings I wear on two fingers which looked like I had some sort of horrible (and exceptionally gory) accident.

[inkstainedruth]

There's a little spot of Edelstein Tanzanite on my right thumb, from refilling the Striated Blue M405.

I'm starting to really like the ink (and the pen) more and more. And it's only a little spot. Well, actually two -- one's about an 1/8" long and the other is a line about 3/16" long; well, the longer one might actually be vintage Quink Microfilm Black because it's such a skinny line, and it's currently in a 51 Vac with an EF nib....

Pelikan 4001 Violet - because the converter in my Waterman Concord was not sitting right in the place - uff.

And Fuchsia - Montegrappa Fuchsia - after filling 4 pens with this gorgeous ink to find the perfect fit. I never thought I could fall in love with such a bright magenta. Wonderful. And even my FA-nib (feed of the FA-nib ) does love this ink. Yeah!

[callous4567]

My entire right hand looks like a sunset after I accidentally spilled some ink while refilling my pen.

[cello]

I have a small dot of Pilot Asa-Gao on my left thumb, and I thought I was being so careful!

[JayHomeBody]

I've got spots of Diamine steel blue on my palms, my left thumb pad has skrip vintage washable purple #82, and my right forefinger and thumb has noodler's golden brown. And man, that golden brown looks amazing on paper, but it sure does look suspicious on my hands! XD

[domzals1]

Small amount of Callifolio Bourgogne on my fingers today.

[Miaxina]

I'm drenched in Sailor jentle souten both yesterday and today, it's everywhere, even under my nails! D: I pushed the converter down which still had ink in it, which spilt everywhere...

[uemuraw]

Lamy blue. Diamine Oxblood. R&K Smaragdgruen. Ran out of ink in these pens, but neglected to refill them. So I got to flush 'em, and I made a little bit of a mess.

[displacermoose]

Noodlers Lexington Grey. Cleaning a pen before finishing my coffee.

[DarkAudit]

Noodler's FPN Van Gogh Starry Night Blue. Again. Testing out dry times with new pens and new paper. A minute and a half with the TWSBI Diamond 580 Fine on a Rhodia Reverse Book. TWO and a half minutes with a Jinhao 159 medium.
