Most Boring - On Emptying A Bottle Of Tsuki-Yo

[dcwaites]

It would be more exciting if we could watch the ink dry on the page.

 

Accidentally spilt some ink on the grass outside while transferring from large bottle to small bottle. Now sitting watching coloured grass grow...

When I did that with Noodler's Highland Heather it killed the grass. The mole crickets were unfazed.

Please elaborate - did you spill some ink from the subject bottle? I am near to tears, you will need to start a new experiment all over, perhaps PI Yama-Budo?

I am not the OP, that is KaB. I just transferred the remains of some ink from a large bottle, where I couldn't get at it anymore to a smaller bottle.

But I thought that watching grass grow was in the same meditative theme as watching the level of ink go down in KaB's bottle of Tsuki-Yo.

Like some here, I await the film of the event, hoping that it will be in real time.

 

On the other hand, I am contemplating the re-constitution of the ink in this bottle --

that I recently received from eBay vendor julisev2cisw. There is dried out ink powder at the bottom. How much water should I put in? Is it a dye Blue-Black ink, or and Iron-Gall one?

My apologies, I forgot that KaB was the OP of this thread.

 

While reconstituting your ink, please post writing samples of the different stages of dilution, filling up your bottle in contrast to this thread.

I've really enjoyed reading through this thread. What most impresses me is that there is still no ink on the tassel.

 

That is truly incredible.

Oh but there is... on the backside of the bottle

Thanks for the idea! I just picked up my glass bottle of Visconti's Turquoise from the customs (coming in from Peter's in your neck o' da woods) and I wanted to measure its real volume by transferring the ink into a graduated cylinder because I don't believe it's 60 ml. So I'll do that out on the grass outside. I'll also sit around watching in the hope that the grass will grow under the coloured snow...

It's high summer here, and it has been raining a lot, so the grass is literally growing under one's feet.

Let us know what the results of your measuring.

Kudos for OP to do this run, It will be even more trilling if its only with EF and F nibs

ink on the string (suppose that's what you mean with 'lassel'?)

I get that. But I'm not into F let alone EF. Got an F on a Lamy studio 'cause that writes like an M ...

 

I'm in my fifties, I would have the patience to sit out emtying with an EF, but might not have the time left. In my youth, when I had the time left, might not have had the patience

27th filling, the VAC again (been doing a lot of writing these days)

I'm loving this thread, KaB! Just stumbled across it and have read all thirteen pages. I'm guessing that your ink bottle will be empty sometime early summer.

OMG I'm so excited I might faint

I am really enjoying this. Do you have a sequel planned for us?
