The cucumber looks more pleasant on here than the sample I saw on Goulet's. This one looks nicely green and vibrant, but the sample I saw was... positively cukey (I think I just made up a word).

 

Did you pick the ink for the colour, or for the scent too?

Tes rires retroussés comme à son bord la rose,


Effacent mon dépit de ta métamorphose;


Tu t'éveilles, alors le rêve est oublié.

pmhudepo: That is a nice idea. It might be happening sooner than later, right, TMLee?

 

GabrielleDuVent: I chose the ink because in the game of match the ink to the pen, this particular green matches the green in the Athens. The scent is nice, but does not smell like a cucumber. I made my pen pretty wet so it lets out a lot of ink, maybe that explains the hue. When it was dryer, such little ink came out that it was barely visible on paper.

 

The Athens is one of the most beautiful pens from the cities series. Now isn't is sad that we go from the most beautiful to the drabbest, the New York? It is grey and black, not white and black but a whitish grey. Yuck. It is raining here today, so the grey pen and ink match the day wonderfully. Today's word is HOMILEPTICS.

An eye for insignificant details is a good sign you will do just fine in medical school...

As a sharp wit and powerful sarcasm is a sign that you already have.

Those are lovely, plistumi. I am amazed at how effortlessly you make every ink work for you and marvel at your imagination for the drawings. Wonderful. Thank you for sharing. :notworthy1:

Wow, I love the comics.

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

Newjelan: I did not dilute the ink. I have to admit, I am too lazy to add water to the ink. :lol:

 

The next words are HOSTILITY and HOSPITALITY.

That's a beautiful black.

 

Would also love to know what those censored words are, but FPN would probably censor them out. :P

Those censored words can be whatever you want them to be. FPN even censors c.r.a.p!

Lovely drawing. Again.

And the next word (though it is really five) is one of my (many) favourites in the book :)

For today we have HOUSELESS and HUMANITY. The picture does not do justice to the San Francisco pen.

Nice colour choice. The fellow looks rather miserable :P
