Today being the first day of spring, I have switched from Sailor Shigure, one of my winter inks, to Iroshizuku Murasaki Shikibu, one of my spring inks.

Despite being the first day of spring, I inked my Pelikan with Platinum Blue/black and didn't continue with the Pelikan Edelstein topaz I had !

Work: the blue cartridge that came with my Pilot Petite (trying to use it up) and Sailor Doyou (my stealth not-quite-black)

 

Personal: KWZ Honey, Iroshizuku Yama-Budo

Yet another Sarah.

I like when people use Sailor Doyou as a stealth-black :D

 

Today I used Diamine Blue-Black, Diamine Steel Blue, and Diamine Matador.

Hello all, using two Parker 51s for today, used them for a quick sketch, they are inked with Waterman Harminious Green and Waterman Tender Purple.

​Today, testing out some new inks that arrived, KWZ El Dorado (++), Honey (++), Green #5 (meh) and Krishna Banana Yellow (not working in this pen).

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

northstar, your inky art is lovely!

 

Today I've been lazy and spent too much time studying and ogling my new stamps to write much.

 

I used only Diamine Blue-Black (standard line) in my Faber-Castell Loom because I'm still wrestling with the nib. I'll beat it into smoothness though, you just wait!

Copied some information about my great aunt Mirla and a song she wrote for kids (When He Comes Again) back in the early 1950's from her history into a A4 Red N Black notebook with my 1948 Parker 51 Demi Vacumatic inked with Diamine Blue Black. Three type written pages reduced from 8.5 x 14 to 8.5 x 11 (landscape). Took up the better part of six pages - three front and back. The 51 has a very fine nib.

 

I have done some other things this afternoon with Noodler's Apache Sunset (TWSBI 580 B Tomahawk stub) and Blackstone Daintree Green (Pelikan M200 Blue Marbled (old style) OB).

I'm also using Murasaki Shikibu today. If it is going to insist on snowing again, I may as well have Spring on my paper.

"Yes."
