Inky T O D - Ever Forget What Ink Is In Which Pen? - Confessions And Contest

[amberleadavis]

i'm so sorry about going off topic, but the background sound was REALLY unexpected .

 

On YouTube someone complained about my breathing. (Yep, I'm one of those with a deviated septum and hence a mouth breather). This time, I was listening to music. I just discovered her that day. I'm totally impressed. Aida Nikolaichuk is AMAZING.

[amberleadavis]

Close enough.

 

PM me with your address and I'll send you a letter and some nifty paper.

OH, and it was KWZI

 

 

Really??.. I thought that was too easy.... when you were talking about "getting darker"... I was thinking, no it can't be Iron Gall cause that would be a dead giveaway... only Konrad is currently making green Iron Galls...

Well, I had the iron gall part right, apparently, anyway....

Congratulations to lgsoltek.

My guess is close but I don't exactly get the ink right though. That "iron-gall" part was a dead giveaway. And Amber said it's Cyber6' favourite brand so that makes it easier.

Amber, my address is still the same as the one I gave you sometime ago. Do you still have it? If not I'll PM it again.

[ink-syringe]

I'll admit i forget sometimes what is in a pen. I also have this problem:

 

I have a Sailor ink that I love that I bought as an opened bottle from my dealer. There is no label.

 

I have no idea if it is Epinard, the 2010 Tokiwa-Matsu or the current one, but I am 99% sure it is one of those three. I would love to know for certain but I have accepted that that is, in the immortal words of Homer Simpson, "unpossible".

Okay, here are some close ups, maybe we can see the difference.

 

 

 

 

I know it's probably wrong, but I keep thinking Sherwood green. So very wrong. Must read to the end before answering lol.

Do you mind PMing me again? I forget....

[amberleadavis]

I was doodling to show what is inked up today ...

 

 

I still have one of the Sailor Boutique Blues that I can't tell the difference between.

[lgsoltek]

Oohs, guessing a Sailor blue ink, that's a challenge!

[TSherbs]

actually, the limits of my memory of inks in pens is one of the limits that I have set on my spending: when I can't remember what's in a pen, once I use it up I don't re-ink it (immediately) and I don't buy any more inks until I finish a bottle. I have about 15 inks.

[Erik Dalton]

I do it all the time. Now I keep an A5 size dot pad with a dated, running list I call "My Pens".

Depending on how many I'm working on, I always have between 10 and 15 pens inked up on my bench. Maybe the mad cow disease, but I do get confused...lol..

[lgsoltek]

That blue looks like P&M Saku though.

I used to keep an ink log on my computer, but the computer and inks are in different parts of the house...so I sometimes forgot to log the ink fill. Now I keep an ink sample binder, located near my inks, so when I fill/refill, I jot down the date, pen and ink.

 

I have had a brain freeze, I went to refill a pen that had Waterman blue, and I knew it was Waterman blue, and I filled it with Cross blue. So even knowing the ink in the pen, did not help when my brain was too tired to think. Lesson, don't refill pen when tired.

Craig brought me 10 samples of different Sailor blue or blue-black inks. I'm enjoying playing with them, but I can't remember which ink is in which pen.

[sidthecat]

I discovered Sailor Bungbox Eel, and now it's in all my pens but one. It's the prettiest color I've ever seen and if Sailor stops making it I may go back to the computer altogether.
