Kobe Monet Violet & Van Gogh Cobalt

Hi migo984, Is there any way that you could post a writing sample of the Van Gogh Cobalt? The brush drawing Algester posted of it in the Sailor post looked amazing, so I've been wondering what it looks like inked up.

I am enjoying more than I would have imagined, a bottle of Waterman's Tender Purple:

 

[Lou Erickson]

Let's see... this is October, so I have a pen inked with Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo. I also have one inked with J. Herbin Eclat du Saphir, which I might love, have to try more. And something in that third pen. Oh! Tsuki-yo, silly me.

[HalloweenHJB]

Some very naughty and wicked people showed samples of the new J. Herbin 1670 ink, Stormy Grey. Now, I am waiting (not so patiently) for the next shipment. In the meantime, I will have to content myself with the sublime Rouge Hematite, while the flowers from my plumeria fall.

 

 

[shudaizi]

Rohrer and Klingner Salix (general use) and Diamine Oxblood (editing markup on my manuscript).

[Morwen]

Caran d'Ache Amazon (Why oh why do I finally discover the best green ink in the world long after it has been discontinued? I have only one bottle and it was the last one in the only place I found it. And only 30ml. Sigh.) Also MB Irish green, which will have to replace the Amazon when it runs out, and JHerbin Blue Ocean, and Iroshizuku Ajisai. And Noodler's X-Feather. Yep, I like to alternate a lot.

[byggyns]

Today, it's Toucan Crimson in a TWSBI 580 (F).

 

And, there are numerous pens inked at home that I could use: Noodler's BSB, Sailor Grenade & Yama-Dori, a couple of home mixes, and I can't exactly remember what else.

[HalloweenHJB]

The bottle of Iroshizuku's Ama-iro arrived this morning, so I'm trying it out. VERY PLEASED!

 

[jmccarty3]

Morwen, try CdA Vibrant Green. I'm using it today in an OMAS Vintage Paragon Arco Verde with a 14k EF Extra Flexible nib. This is a beautiful ink that shades wonderfully.

 

I'm also using Diamine Bilberry in two Montblancs: a 149 from 1968 with a 14k medium nib, and a 344 from 1954 with an EF flexible nib.

 

I also have my latest acquisition, a Sailor Pro Gear Slim EF with rhodium trim, inked with Ackerman #4 Nassaus Blauw.

[Sagar_C]

Awesome!!!

Herbin stormy grey and parker quink washable blue both in medium lamy safaris

A few new arrivals today from the Netherlands: Akkerman Shocking Blue, Hopjesbruin, and Rood Haags Pluche. On regular paper, much darker than on this Canson tracing paper. Written with 3 different Pelikan Souveräns (2 M200, 1 M800). The Hopjesbruin (Toffee Brown) is a great shader, similar to Pelikan Edelstein's Amber, and the Shocking Blue leaves an amazing pink-red sheen. Wonderful!

 

[swanjun]

That Hopjesbruin reminds me of butterscotch candy.
