mostly Private Reserve Ebony Black today and a little J.Herbin 1670 Stormy Grey and a dash of De Atramentis Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin-AKA Atlantic Blue.

Iroshizuku Kiri-Same. First grey that looks like I think grey ought to look, not just a weak black.

I'm enjoying a nice Sailor Jentle Oku-yama this afternoon:

 

Sorry for the crummy cell phone photo...

Lessee. This morning it was De Atramentis Dante Alighieri, in the (no longer dry-writing) Noodler's Konrad. Yay for wet inks! Yay for good pen/ink combos!

Then this afternoon I was at a meeting and had to do some research and make a lot of notes to then write up commentary -- the notes were mostly with KWZI IG Violet #3 in one of my Parker Vectors, and then occasionally with Waterman Mysterious Blue in the grey Sheaffer Snorkel Valiant.

Sailor Jentle Shigure

[Tanzanite]

This far today Iroshizuku Kon Peki, trying to figure out why it is so popular. This is probably a spring colour for me.

Waterman Florida Blue, South Sea Blue, RnK Verdigris, Diamine Oxblood.

[sargetalon]

Waterman's Harmonious Green

[HalloweenHJB]

Akkerman Garuda Rood.

 

And for those who are wondering about the name, Wikipedia (yes, I know, not the best source...) tells us that "Garuda is a Hindu divinity, usually the mount (vahana) of the Lord Vishnu. Garuda is depicted as having the golden body of a strong man with a white face, red wings, and an eagle's beak and with a crown on his head. This ancient deity was said to be massive, large enough to block out the sun."

Waterman Florida Blue, South Sea Blue, RnK Verdigris, Diamine Oxblood.

 

Love both South Seas Blue, and Oxblood. Very rich, and very moody. Wonderful choices!

Sailor Jentle Ultramarine and Nano Black.

[HalloweenHJB]

Doodling at the office (a.k.a., English Ivy's Tavern) and in a festive color mood.

 

[amberleadavis]

Very nice!

Sheaffer Black

..and some P.R. Naples Blue left in one pen.

 

Buying ink is the quandry for me. There isn't a lot available locally, and the cost of shipping means I need to pick ink carefully. Fortunately, there is a little office supply store near me that can order Sheaffer's ink, and I can get it for under $8. Sheaffer will be my ink of choice for a while. I'm getting away from Private Reserve for a few reasons.
