But you don't have to feel naughty for looking. :P

 

 

Unless your honey comes in and asks if you are spending the kids college fund on pens and ink.

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

Isn't that why white lies were invented?

 

No honey, these were just gifts.

No honey, I just wanted to try it, but I'm going to send it back.

Of course not honey, I've had this pen for ages.

You're an experienced melon? You respond correctly when your Honey says, "Honey, do this" which is not to argue, but get up and do it.

I know that there might be some people who don't love the scent of patchouli, but for those of us who do, De Atramentis' Patchouli ink not only smells great, but looks gorgeous. I don't think the junky cellphone photo really captures the richness of the color (deep red moving into violet and drying like a dark mauve), but here's an idea:

I got a stack of samples yesterday and I'm trying to decide which Diamines to request from Nordic Pen Imports before their final order so I had a big reinking session last night, this is only the half I took to work with me today :D Oh and my Pilot VP arrived from Massdrop (8 days from the US to AU, that must be some kind of record!) so I couldn't resist inking that up straight away.

Iroshizuku Kon-peki - I finally get the fuss, definitely an ink you really have to try in person, it's just a tiny bit brighter than any blue ink Ive tried before whilst looking for a good basic blue.

 

Diamine Blaze Orange - I love this ink so much, the saturation and shading just make it such fun to write with this ink. It also looks great with blue ink, I've already reeled off a couple of pages in my midori with this colour combo :)

 

Diamine Meadow - Blah, I prefer Kelly Green which is just a tiny bit brighter and is a little wetter when it writes than Meadow. Oh well, win some lose some.

 

Diamine Damson - I want to love this ink, it looks great with my coffee brown al star and I love how it looks dry but it's so slow to dry....zzzzzzz

 

Diamine Sargasso Sea - Can't decide how I feel about this one, the sheen is great but I don't know if I would ever write much with it. Needs to go in a different pen I think.

16% Red Cashmere and the start of a letter from Santa. I think I'm going to dilute it to get a brighter red, though.

Wow. Is Blue Bonnet KWZI #4? I like it. I love DBS - every time I see it I tell myself I should call them for some.

Seeing Attila use Ancient Copper made me buy it and try it for myself. It's probably my favourite reddish colour I've tried to date.http://i61.tinypic.com/jzve51.jpg

Nicely matched color and pen. And the warm colors do look spectacular on cream or ivory paper. Handsome effect!
