Week #16 / 16 Apr: Iro, Iro, Iro - 2017 Weekly Ink Project

[lgsoltek]

Happy Easter!

 

Iro means colour in Japanese. Use a Japanese ink this week.

 

As usual, don't forget to share with us your choice of ink, your writing, drawing, doodling or anything with the ink in this thread. You can take a photo, make a scan, or even better, write letters and CRV reviews (what is a CRV?) and mail them to the many ink pals here. You are welcome to check back on this thread even when we've gone past this week.

Click here to read more about this community project. Links to the two previous links can be found there too.

Next week: Use an ink or sample that's been gifted to you.

I was ready for you! Here is my sample of favorite Japanese inks. Hard to choose among so many great options, but Sailor's Souten and Hachimitsu (Honey) are inks I always have loaded in pens. I really like this combination of colors.

 

 

And then, there's the sheen on Tomoe River paper!

Thanks guys. I have Tomoe River to thank for this. I never sketch on it, too smooth but a friend bought me a couple of Japanese brushes and I thought I'd give them a try. Miles, MILES harder to use that the videos let on.

 

Here's mine:

I like the Blue Black but feel a similar "meh" as you to their blue.

I've been wanting to try that. But it's currently out of stock at Vanness (I know because I was ordering inks last night).

Delighted you've shown us some of your Japanese collection. Even more delighted to see that gorgeous Edison ! What model is it ?

 

*Ah haa . . . found it - Beaumont.

Yes it's an Edison Beaumont pneumatic filler. My favorite pen, right up there with my Pelikans.

I love Taisanji.

Lots of Japanese inks in pens (well, considering I have 8 Pilot Petits.....)

Great pen choices! Edison and Pelikan are my favorite newly-made pens. For vintage, Waterman wins with me, hands down.
