What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

[Gobblecup]

Diamine Woodland Green and Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses from fiddling with nibs on inked pens... and Sheaffer Skrip Black and Waterman Havana Brown from inking pens, although they washed off pretty easily.

[Maethelwine]

Diamine Syrah, all over the place, thanks to a Wyvern that has more of a faucet than a nib.

[hbquikcomjamesl]

Pelikan brown, from repairing my Pirre Paul Penbash without flushing it first. (It seems that I hadn't done such a good job of permanently gluing the converter into its socket.)

 

Except that the stain turned kind of indigo on washing.

Noodler's Tienanman

 

...I always spill the red ones!

[MegWesley]

Surprisingly, I didn't get any on my fingers but I got to finally change ink colors again! It is J Herbin Rouge Hematite 1670 Anniversary Ink. It is a very, very nice color of red and looks elegant to me. Sophisticated red.

 

I got an ink sample of this ink a month before exams and I was saving it for last. I just now get to use it because I had to write my way through my fill of blue ink for my exams. Either that or I was writing at my boyfriend's house and had a cartridge with me and I had to keep writing that second. I am a little tired of blue right now.

Noodler's Beaver and PR Avacado [sic]. These ink bottles need addiction warnings. Worse than heroin, as a herion addict doesn't need to keep 23 different syringes filled at any one time.

[PBW]

Noodler's V-mail Midway Blue. I got a box full of ink and other stuff from Gouletpens and did not know that the Noodler's bottle were so full. Also got a couple of bottles of J. Herbin Rouge Hematite 1670 but di not get any of that on me, yet.

Today I've got Levenger Pinkly on my fingertips.

[GardenWeasel]

Several fingers marked with Sailor Jentle Sky High....

[KrazyIvan]

Pulled out the TWSBI for inking in Private Reserve Tropical Blue.

Let's just say that my Noodler's pen had some troubling problems with Nikita...

Baystate Blue is the color of my wife's fingers and thumb...ha! Not my fingers today!

[ticoun]

nothing today, but two days ago i had a lot of a mysterious vintage blue that came out of a 1930's Eclipse pen i picked up at an antique store. really interesting light blue woth a slight greenish tinge. there were tons of it in the cap...

[FloridaMike]

Noodler's Bad Blue Heron all over my thumb, carelessly refilling my Lamy Safari from a nearly-full bottle.

[KrazyIvan]

Noodler's Midway Blue. Filled my new Hero 616 just now.

[ticoun]

lots and lots of noodler's navy: finally got my noodler's flex pen today! refilled it 4 times, wrote a lot, fiddled with the feed a bit. now i'm happy.

[PhxPiper]

Noodler's North African Violet

[dcpritch]

Diamine Umber over Noodler's Seminole Sepia - resembles puke, and has convinced me never to mix these colors together for a custom tint of ink (not that I was thinking about that!)

[FloridaMike]

MB Irish Green, all over my left hand and the inside of my left pants pocket. The cap of my Pelikan came unscrewed.

[777]

I finally got some time to show pictures of what my hands look like after grinding a nib...

 

This Parker Duofold came out (at the expense of my hands) as a nice oblique medium stub. I wasn't sure if the pen was going to make it though. It was a rescue case for this one. The previous owner (before the person who sent me the pen) tried to make it into a OM themselves... It was a disgusting scratchy mess...

 

It's much better now.
