Which Inks Are You Using Today?

[chromantic]

Brought Lamy Coral out tonight. I don't use it very often but, when I do, I'm always reminded what an interesting color it is.

Noodler's FPH Henry Hudson Blue in an Edison Mina.

 

Nooder's FPN Van Gogh Starry Night Blue in my updated Edison Menlo with Draw filler.

 

Sailor Joyful-2 Honda Taniguwadaki Blue in another Edison Mina. The last of the sample I received of this ink.

Organics Studio Nickel Teal, Sailor Kin-Mokusei, Noodler's Army and Noodler's El Lawrence. El Lawrence currently hangs around in my Delike brass pen in case I need something permanent. Nickel Teal is my current primary writing color. Kin-Mokusei is for titles in a fat nib. As far as color palettes, this one is unusual for me.

What a fun way to show the inks off!

Not anything nearly so artistic for me today --

Iroshizhuku Yama-budo in the new Decimo; and Birmingham Scheneley Park Thicket Green in the Sheaffer Balance Oversize.

Birmingham Lilac Wind in a Monteverde Invincia Deluxe. This ink reminds me quite a bit of Oster Purple Rock but is purpler and wetter and does not turn green on any paper, or at least hasn't yet.

 

Birmingham Phipps Conservatory Verbena in a Bulow x750.

Ooh, I haven't tried Lilac Wind or Verbena yet.

It's not until you make lists like this that you realize the depth of depravity to which we all have sunk!

I cannot (and will not) compete with the famous (or infamous) jmccarty3.

 

I recently purchased a Nook 3-pen canvas case, so this helps limit the number of pens I have inked at any one time. Yesterday I swapped out the Edison Mina with Noodler's FPH Henry Hudson Blue with a vintage Traveler lever-filler with vintage Shaeffer permanent blue-black.

Today I finally got to use the OS Nitrogen that arrived about 10 days ago. Oh, my! I've given away inks I thought had too much sheen, so much it negatively impacted the color, yet here the result is absolutely spectacular. Just wow.
