[RoyalBlueNotebooks]

Today was so chaotic and oppressively hot I couldn't focus on anything, much less studying and writing.

I used RK Scabiosa in my hopeless attempts to get anything done. rip this day.

[goodpens]

A rare - well I can't easily find it on a Google search - ink from Salor. I beleive it's called Arashsi Machi (Stormy Town) and Sailor produce it for a store in China.

 

It's the closest ink, in colour, I've seen to Heironymous Blue 01 and also very similar to Papier Plume's Oyster Grey

 

Thank you Lgsoltek for this and three other STUNNING ink samples.

This morning was a multicolor entry in my morning pages journal, finishing up a couple of pens that were very low in the process:

Diamine Shimmertastic Moondust, in the Pelikan M100, 1 mm nib.

vintage Skrip V-Black, in the Burgundy Snorkel Admiral, M nib.

Edelstein Topaze, in the Pelikan M405 Striated Blue, EF nib.

I will probably be using other pens/inks this afternoon, and have to refill yet another pen.

And I like it more and more, more with everyday day, every next word.
