If you don't have a volunteer, I'll do it. I won't be able to get them done quickly, but I'll do them.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I'd also be interested in reviewing.

I'll keep on struggling, 'cause that's the measure of a man.

What about splitting up the samples to different people so it isn't as overwhelming?

Just an idea. :)

 

By the way, thank you Shawndo for posting the comparisons! I have referenced your examples many times and just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to share those with us! :)

I'm much too lazy to split it up. I'd worry about getting too much blue in one and purple in the other. Then i'd be OCD-obligated to evenly balance it as much as possible, etc, hehe.

 

 

OK, as soon as I get back from vacation in a couple weeks, I will PM whoever shows interest and has the highest post count. They can split it up if desired.

Lol! That sounds like good reasoning! :) I am still impressed you went through all those samples! I still have samples I have barely touched...and I counted today - I have 63 samples (not counting some others I have given away to a friend.)

OOOO so far that's me. I'll split some up and spread the joy. Have fun on vacation.

Sorry to revive an old topic (if anyone ever sees this), but how much did you spend on this package?!

Yay!!!!! I can't wait to see your reviews Amber! :)

 

 

I would love to see: De Atramentis Magic Fairy, De Atramentis Mimosa, and De Atramentis Birthday. They aren't sold at Goulet's anymore, so I have no way to get a sample, but they sound and look intriguing to me. :)

 

Edited to add: I am willing to review these three inks if you aren't interested in doing them. I have really been wanting to learn more about these hard to find inks.

Thank you!!!

The box arrived. Only one seemed to have broken and spilled, but because of how they were contained, it only got two baggies and the 5 vials inside that baggie messy. I'll look for these first.

 

De Atramentis Magic Fairy, De Atramentis Mimosa, and De Atramentis Birthday.

 

Thank you Shawn!!!

Shawndo... I'm still making progress.

 

Each review has the title "Shawndo Sample Mayhem" so any FPNer can easily do a search.
