de Atramentis Scented Red Rose on my left hand, kitchen table, and a big splotch of it on my biblical notes in my Black 'n Red notebook! I thought I was being careful inking my eyedropper Serwex!

I managed to decorate nearly half of the bathroom with beautiful Visconti Blue polka dots. Don't ask how. I have to be more careful, but no fingers were harmed this time!

Diamond Blue Black. Beats me how it got on my hands. I wasn't inking pens, and I didn't see any leakage on the Pelikan I was using. And nothing wiped off It. Unsolved inking.

I have J. Herbin Eclat de Saphir on the palm of my hand and I can't figure out how I did it.

Still some traces of Aurora black on my fingers. I just got a new bottle, and they put a stopper seal in the bottle that was rather difficult to remove resulting inky fingertips.

Pen and Message Cigar. Today I learned about heat sealing pipettes.

 

Glass ones? or plastic?

Glass is more fun.

Some homebrew blue-black. A hodge-podge of blacks, grays, blues, and even some Binder Burgundy ...

Diluted Noodler's Blue.

I was flushing out one of the Konrads last night, and apparently had not gotten all the ink that had burped into the cap....

Also a bit of De Atramentis Ruby Red, trying to get the pen it's currently in started.

Reminds me of a story back when I was studying art history about the great British artist William Mallord Turner. An aspiring apprentice came to him and Turner inspected his immaculate hands. "How can you be an artist! There is no paint under your fingernails!" I hope Turner relented. Everyone wants to make a good impression on a job interview.

For several minutes, my fingers were an attractive shade of blue courtesy of Platinum Pigment Blue. Interestingly, whiteboard cleaner removed almost all of it.

      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.

      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..

      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

      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
