Let's See Your Ink Collection Set-Up!

[mjhullett]

Hey Everybody!

 

if you're anything like me, you have a very specific way that you like to arrange your collection of inks on your desk or in a drawer etc. Time to show them off! Ill begin by posting mine and a list of the inks there.

 

Please don't mind the tequila in the background....

 

Thanks

-M.

 

 

Inks:

 

Lamy Blue

Lamy Blue-Black (my first ink)

 

Montblanc Leonardo (maybe my new favorite)

Montblanc Toffee Brown (my everyday ink for my Montparnasse)

 

Diamine Turquoise

 

Noodler's X-Feather

Noodler's Rome Burning (awful)

Noodler's Forest Green

Noodler's American Eel Black (my everyday ink for my TWSBI 580 and it smells great)

Noodler's Black Swan in English Roses (my everyday ink for any flex pen)

Noodler's Apache Sunset (my go-to "impact ink" when I want to show off)

What are the large bottles of golden brown ink in the background?

One is Tequila and one is probably Sailor Jerry at a guess?

Yup, those up top at the right are the ones I saw first.

Cubic MB bottles are so nice!

I definitely believe that this "large bottles of ink" help my drafting very much, I highly recommend them.

 

Also, nice collection Attila! What is the flagon of ink I see?

 

On an unrelated note, I also have a really good friend in Budapest named Attila!

This is the best collection I've ever seen of these bottles. WOW thank you for sharing.

[amberleadavis]

I filled up my first cabinet and expanded to a second. Now I have room.

just the perks of living in the Netherlands. my collection keeps growing.

[SeeksAdvice]

Eeew ... do I see Concord Bream in Amber's collection? Doesn't that even top LRM for bad behavior on paper?

Hmmm, I don't see TX Pecan with the "Big Nuts" on it.

Good eye, yep, I have both the Big Nut (next to the heart) and the lousy concord bream but no LRM. However, QSH was the WORST performer for me.

Wow nice collections! I just saw an interesting 1 liter OMAS bottle for sale and I got tempted to buy it...I just worry if I buy one that I will end up with lots of vintage ink bottles and it will start to look like clutter.

 

Since I am in the middle of a huge remodel all of my inks are in various boxes...not sure I will ever have a proper display though as my style is modern and minimal.

The reason mine is so small compared to what it could be ... I give away samples or even bottles.

[RonLyke]

I own 3 Bottles of ink!! Pretty good start. :-)

 

I saw the attached photo on another site. I don't think I'll get there any time soon.

I really wish I could get a nice picture of all my ink. <sigh> It just can't be done. I'd have to photograph it in segments, and even then, probably segments of segments.
