The TWSBI Swipe persion blue, and my only purple ink Pilot Iroshizuku Murasaki-shikubu. I am trying to run it out, and as the pen was running a bit dry as though it was blocked, I’ve added washing up liquid to the converter and also had the pen apart for a full clean. I’m just hoping that by taking the nib and feed out I haven’t caused it to leek where the nib meet the section

That looks a really nice pen I like it

Edison Menlo draw filler with DIY titanium cross flex nib and (heavily) modified Flexible Nib Factory J6E ebonite feed. Photographed after the pen was cleaned so there is no ink on the nib and in the barrel; the nib, when ink-stained, looks ugly.

That's a very striking pen!  

What sort of fill system does it have?  And how does the glass nib write?  (I saw a glass nibbed fountain pen in an antiques mall a few years ago but didn't buy it because I'd had trouble getting a J Herbin dip pen with a glass nib to write.)

Hi Mark, don't you mean PRUSSIAN Blue; or have they released another new color??

Today my midnight blue Visconti and palm green ink, it feels like a green ink sort of day.

Yes I do, getting old timers LOL. It’s been a long week 😛

Oh wow, @Kas- what a stunning pen! The palm green ink is a complimentary choice as well. 
I have a 1970s teal Platinum that I was getting ready to ink for the first time with Platinum pink (feeling a bit nostalgic for my ‘80s Miami childhood), when I noticed a bit of nib corrosion where the section butts up to it, so I took out my Sunshine cloth an took care of it. While I was rinsing the pen- I got a huge surprise: the feed is clear and not black as I first thought! I had cleaned it when I received the pen last year, but apparently not well enough! 
I also have my Kaweco Sport Twin nib inked with J. Herbin Rouge Caroubier and a few others that have been previously mentioned recently. I try to keep a rainbowish spectrum of pens inked for calligraphy and coloring. I need to pick a new pen to put a purple in.

What a beautiful combination!  The stub nib really makes your handwriting look so good!

I don’t have a purple pen to ink, so I think it’s either going to be a clear five below italic pen or a black LAMY cp1.  I just have to look at my purples and see what I have.
