Next color?

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

How about Autumn Oak? Orange-y, so does it fit here?

 

 

 

EDIT: moved AO to the Orange thread...

 

 

RE-Edit - It can be in two places at once.

Put it in both. It is an "Oak" which is a wood which may be brown.

Playing with Kiowa Pecan today. Trying to fall in love with it, but I'm not feeling the passion yet.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll have to play a bit more with it, and see if Cupid's arrow strikes. ;)

I dug out the rest.

(This time with thoughts)

 

http://www.taskyprianou.com/fpn_diamine_burnt_umber_swatch.jpg

 

DIAMINE BURNT UMBER - Really quite nice actually. Very similar to Terracotta only a little more saturated and slightly pinker.

 

http://www.taskyprianou.com/fpn_diamine_golden_brown_swatch.jpg

 

DIAMINE GOLDEN BROWN - Another ink swap and another lovely shading ink. Not sure I'd buy a bottle though, not really my colour.

DIAMINE ANCIENT COPPER - Stunning ink, beautiful shading, colour and properties. Lived in my VAC 700 for around a year. (Terracotta forced it out :mellow: )

 

http://www.taskyprianou.com/fpn_sailor_maruzen_athena_sepia_swatch.jpg

 

SAILOR MARUZEN ATHENA SEPIA - A sample kindly sent to me and a terrific ink. (Sailor always produce the goods) Similar to Waterman's Havanna Brown but less saturated and less red.

Ooops! Thoughts? Me? ;)

 

Amaretto is a rich brown color, but very wet and juicy (as you can see). A bit too dark and, well, brown, for my taste. The scent is soft, exactly like almond extract.

And an ink that is growing on me (not literally!), but very thin and slight. Sometimes, just right for a subtler message to the right person...

Apologies to my aztec/náhuatl friends for that appallingly crappy attempt at drawing Quetzalcóatl. :)

And your cards are spectacular! They always inspire me --especially the idea of a wash over semi-dry lines.

Must say, Ancient Copper is still almost unparalleled in my opinion. Always a favorite for me.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen. 
    • A Smug Dill
      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o
    • adamselene
      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
