What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

Inspired by the colours of autumn :-)

 

Beautiful sheen on the Kobe #55 and the Kingdom Note Amanita Muscaria

I've got some Noodler's Baystate Blue under my left ring fingernail (it's from a couple of days ago ). And a bit of what I think is KWZI Grey on the side of my right middle finger, just above a callus I get sometimes when writing.

I had an accident with my little bottle of Diamine Majestic Blue and scrub as I might, I can't get it out from beneath my thumbnail.

My inking of KWZI Old Gold did not go as clean as planned, so a little on the left thumb.

Working on a review of Noodler's Colorado Spruce - I've got several different green inks on my fingers from the comparison section...

De Atramentis Steel Blue. The nib came loose on my F-C Ambition.

I have discovered that four parts Private Reserve Buttercup to one part Private Reserve Vampire Red makes an excellent gold. Not as rich as Sheaffer Kings Gold, but in that neighborhood.

A bit of Bung Box 4B from trying to get paper fiber off of nib.

[inkstainedruth]

For me, it's Papier Plume Forget Me Not, and a tiny bit of Iroshizuku Yama-budo.

I think there's been some air pressure changes in the atmosphere -- I was seeing ink on nibs where I usually don't. Which suggests that ink may be burping into pen caps; and in the case of Forget Me Not, it was... all over inside the cap of the newest Konrad, and the threads, and then onto my hand....

Not sure of the reason for the Yama-budo, other than it's just a really wet ink....

Various spots on my palms from drying my hands with a paper towel I had used to blot nibs after filling the pens.

Iroshizuku Syo-ro and Sailor Shigure while filling my pens from sample vials this morning. Interestingly enough, all that's left of Shigure are magenta colored-spots on my fingers after washing with soap. I suppose other colors that make up Shigure must have washed off much more easily.

Wahlberry blue!

[FrozenLand]

Usual MB's black mystery is covered with glittering steel-gray, as I work with some technical lubricants today:)

[uemuraw]

Noodler's Walnut, Gate City Pen and Ink Co. True Blue, Noodler's Ottoman Rose. Just cleaning some pens, and wasn't careful about cleaning the caps.

[eliweisz]

A bit of Diamine Oxford - careless handling of my Duofold Jr.

[Ghost Plane]

Alt Goldgrun - Omas section burp

[Ergative]

I last inked up my Snorkel. And before that I'd inked up my snorkel. So when I inked up my Pilot Metro this morning in some KWZ IG Green #3, I forgot that wiping the section (and nib!) is a thing that non-snorkels require.

 

Fortunately it's been fading pretty speedily through the day.

Not posted in this thread before, but I feel honour bound to do so now.

 

I recall making a rather sniffy comment in a thread about ink stained fingers to the effect that all one needed was a little care and hands could be kept clean.

 

Today I noticed the neck of my Edelstein Tanzanite bottle was very inky, making the cap rather stiff. So, I decided to clean it. A simple job requiring only a bit of damp kitchen paper.

 

Well, the threads are deep and it was all a bit more difficult than imagined. With the job nearly done I held it to the light for a final inspection, decided another wipe would do it . . . and tilted the bottle just a little too far. Ink slopped out and, as we all know, it is astounding how far a small amount of liquid can spread itself!

 

The good news is that I was in the kitchen, it all cleaned off the laminate work top easily and I was able to hide the evidence before my wife got home.

 

But, today, my fingers are Edelstein Tanzanite!

Edelstein Tanzanite today as well - same problem with the threads. But I don't really mind it very much or even care.

A few days ago it was sailor shigure (inky threads), Parker red Quink - loose cartridge in my daughter's pen and Sailor yama dori from tweaking a nib.
