What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

I got globbed with Noodler's Tahitian Pearl when the converter dislodged from my Lamy Al-Star :yikes:

My *fingers* are clean, but my *trousers* are a fetching shade of Rouille d'Ancre. (I was talking while I was filling a pen. Never a good idea, because I tend to wave my arms around.)

My fingers have almost recovered from looking like an Organics studio.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Filled up the medium Burgundy Parker "51" Special with Iroshizuku Ku-jaku today - a perfect match for the super smooth Octanium nib. The flow and saturation are just perfect and I am using this combo for my daily everyday writer for now. The Edison Herald was flushed after 3 months of fills of Private Reserve Chocolate and refilled with the same ink that I use for my daily journal. I go through a fill every 2 or 3 weeks on this pen but since the PR is a pretty saturated ink I think it is better to be safe thank sorry and flush it every few months.

I'm in New Orleans for a conference, and I forgot to bring any ink. A second pen ran out today, so I looked online for a nearby pen store, and found Papier Plume in the French Quarter. I am now the happy owner of (and slightly stained with) a bottle of their Pecan, a very nice warm brown. I believe they make their inks themselves.

Diamine Kelly Green from trying to transfer some drops of ink from a piston filler to an eyedropper to strengthen the colour of the dark green mix in the eyedropper. It certainly strengthened the colour of my fingers... :P

I suggest that with that statement you may have made yourself liable for a review of the ink ... please?

For me it's LAMY Blue! Not as saturated as I'd like but the ink is coming out of an EF Hero FP -_-

Diamine Deep Dark Blue. A snorkel wouldn't write, and while I was tinkering to get it going, I ended up emptying it all over my left hand. Oops! <blush>

 

 

No new Kobes?

Noodler's Midnight Blue. My new Ahab was not enjoying the humidity level at work with the A/C fritzing out today. It spurts a little from the nib when you keep it in a pocket and then try to write on a day like this.
