Bathysphere: Organics Studio Jules Verne Nautilus Blue.

Exploration: Cailifno Blue - because it is leading me to explore strange new websites and meet interesting new people.

 

New Word: Arcane (because I'm envious that I'm not a peer of Realm).

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Ha! You would be considerably less envious with the 13 loads of laundry I had to do over the weekend after I got home from the event -- and most of the elevation outfit will have to probably be dry-cleaned, because the fabric is silk (the shift was linen, so it just went into a bleach load and then hung on a hanger on the clothes line in my basement); I could theoretically wash the dress on the silk cycle (it's dupioni) and line dry it as well, but for the overdress I'm worried about the color of the base fabric running and ruining the white applique work (a lot of silk fabric tends to have excess dye in it for some reason -- maybe color saturation -- but as a result you want to launder those garments separately...).

Not to mention the disaster my kitchen was from having to make up a subtlety (basically, a can-be-edible presentation piece -- a wedding or birthday cake would be a modern version, as would something made with candy molds) for the other vigil and elevation happening at the same event....

In a really old article about the SCA in _Smithsonian_ (from the 1970s, and the issue is now out of print), someone who was Queen (of I think the Middle Kingdom, which at the time comprised most of the Midwest US, plus the province of Ontario in Canada) said, "Even queens have to do the dishes!"

 

Arcane = Noodler's Kung Te Cheng or Diamine Salamander (because I haven't figured out just how those colors happen in either of those inks...)

 

New word: subtlety (while I'm thinking of it -- but you don't have to use the medieval/Renaissance definition! :lol:)

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Lark: (as in the British sense of the word) Noodler's Blue Ghost, there's plenty of fun that can be had writing with an invisible ink.

New word: treat

Akkerman Simplisties Violet. Mostly because it's such a treat to visit their shop and come home with a lovely ink. I've been using it quite happily in my new pen for a few weeks now.

 

New word: candy store [like a kid in a ~]

Okay, well, now, I can use PR Bubble Gum because I wasn't allowed to chew gum as a kid so whenever my dad wasn't around.....

Lucky you living close to an Akkerman shop! And the number of times I've wanted to use two words instead of limiting myself to just one! There will be no holding me back now...

 

Okay, now for Amberlea's new word, tricky; Iroshizuku's Fuyu-syogun. I really want to love this ink, but it's tricky finding paper it works well on :unsure:

 

New word: sticky :P

Diamine Chocolate, because when chocolate melts it gets sticky.

 

 

New word: corundum

 

Well, I had to go look that up!

 

 

One of the inks I've seen is meant to look like Hematite.

 

OH yeah, J. Herbin Ann. Ink 1670

 

New word: conundrum

Diamine apple glory, because when I saw Acrobatic Conundrum at a circus festival there was a performer there with bright green hightop basketball shoes and matching green suspenders.

New word: bunker

Diamine Grey, because it's the grey I currently have sitting in one of my pens, and my strongest association with bunkers is some robust thing shaped from concrete.

Austere: Diamine Poppy Red, if used for corrections it screams "Not good enough!"

 

New word: Five-star restaurant

Five-star Restaurant: Montblanc Oyster - it's highly recommended, but I've never tried it. Just like all five-start restaurants. :)

 

New word: Ballad

Ballad: Diamine Salamander. For some reason I'm thinking of medieval ballads, and paintings of troubadours.

 

New word: 50s

 

Edited to add: love the five-star restaurant association :)

50s ...

 

Well, maybe I need some adderall, but

 

Diamine Salamander

Because our local ball team is the 51s because of Area 51, which of course reminds me of aliens, and aliens reminds me of camouflage and wars which reminds me of Diamine Salamander because it is a sneaky color that was used to camouflage war machines even during the Korean war.

Vivid - Diamine Majestic Blue as it's such a vivid blue and always a pleasant surprise.

Games: Diamine Kelly Green. It reminds me of green grass, and I am so longing for the snow to melt so I can go out and play tennis, and bocce ball, and badminton, and...

 

New word: Impatient
