What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

[Bill Wood]

Diamine Denim - and the way this nib straightening is going - it could be up to my elbows by tonight.

[AndyLa]

A luxury blue/American blue mixture! Somehow managed to get into my finger nail and only on one finger.

[inkspot]

J. Herbin Orange Indien - I was filling a sample vial from my bottle and dribbled a little on my fingers. It looks a little like iodine.

[inkspot]

Diamine Syrah - it looks like I have a dreadful injury

 

Ah, Syrah -- my favourite red sofar, eventhough I just flushed it from my pen and switched to Umber. Umber might just be Syrah's green counterpart.

 

 

I agree - Umber is one of my favourite greens - earthy and cool. I love it on cream paper with brown inks.

Diamine Syrah - was using it to take notes in church this morning when the cute little boy beside me bumped my arm. I now have some lovely modern art all over my hand

[spiv]

Both hands... Noodler's Cactus Fruit

Transferring ink into a vial with a syringe that burped

[doodlesinink]

Black. Haha. Since that's the only ink color I have at the moment. I hope to get more ink colors sometime soon.

 

Is it weird that I think its fun to have my hands stained by ink? Haha.

[Luke Scicluna]

Black, blue, red, green, another shade of blue, and another shade of green.

[inkspot]

Diamine Denim, J. Herbin Poussiere de Lune, and Diamine China Blue.

[sessyargc]

Mostly blues.

Got some Lamy blue when I was removing a Safari nib.

Refilled the Skyline with Waterman blue.

And then some Pelikan Blue-Black.

Too many inks!

[lizncats]

Diamine Eclipse - filled up my purple Visconti Rembrandt yesterday morning before work - 6a is too early to be playing with ink, I think.

 

Miraculously, I flushed PR Purple Mojo from my Omas Bologna and didn't get any on me - that has to be a first.

[GardenWeasel]

Fuyu-gaki...if I spelled it right.

 

Edited to add now I've found Tsutsuji on my palm....

And tonight I have many little splatters of Gruene Cactus Eel. Somehow it's on both hands...

[blemt]

Noodler's Navajo Turquoise. In my spiffy new Ahab.

[Bo Bo Olson]

Cafe de Ilse. It was supposed to be ESSR but it didn't come in.

 

 

The only reason my fingers are inky is I was re-hydrating three old pens...old unused pens...that finally after 4 days will suck ink.

 

The tines were not aligned. So I got my fingers inky aligning tines.

 

It is a nice shading ink. I have a Steel Degussa M easy full flex, a maxi-semi-flex/'flexi' Osmia Supra 14 K F and a regular Osmia steel BBL (OBB*) semi-flex (+). The nib is so 'mint' it still has the gold lines in the Osmia imprint on the nib. A nice touch of class.

 

 

*This is vintage size and a writing nib not a signature nib.
