Someone is keen on black!

Add to my list the slightly exotic R&K Scabiosa...ooh iron gall...living life dangerously. I love these ferrogallic inks!
So, we just need some containers. I am super keen on trying some registrar's ink from diamine, for example.

Hi Carrie,

I've got some vials that I think will be suitable for the UK ink exchange, I use them to ship my shellac in - no problems with people receiving Jiffy bags full of orange gooey stuff I'll bring a couple of hundred along to the Midland Pen Weekend and any FPNer who wants them can have some for nowt.

Hope to see you there - assuming you know where Lichfield is (yes, Carrie, I saw your post )!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards

Ian

I have just received some of the vials that Ian has and haven't had chance to contact him yet about them. They're very long and thin in comparison to the vials that Dillon supplies, so sadly I don't really think they're suitable. I've got quite a few of Dillon's vials....somewhere, no doubt never to be seen again in the chaos of house moving.

I've got a few new inks I can add to the list as well.
