I did not intend any direct negativity. I was 'pushed' sarcastically, as in I would not have purchased a bottle, had you not posted the image. I love bottles, and ink which comes in a nice bottle will have my attention quickly.

 

I won't bother. I like a wide range of red inks, and in a dip pen, this one is a bit bolder than I had feared. It is also begging to be blended, to see what other shades it may produce.

 

Please do not worry! I know you meant it kindly!!! :)

 

Yes, the purple is perfect with my glass dip pen too! It is my favorite dip ink!

 

Please do let me know, if you mix it, how it works. I would love to see your results!

I mixed mine with a little of BSAR and I liked the result. :) I will have to do a writing sample and post it when I have the time. :)

After reading these posts, I went looking at bottles on the web. Hmpff. Not much selection for air tight 2 oz bottles with decent neck openings. No wonder we are willing to pay more for pretty bottles.

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

Can you believe that I had to move some of the books that I really use ... I had to move ink in order to get to them. :) It's evenworse because Had to use books and boxes to get the bottles to stack in layers so you can see them.

:lol:

A number of years ago, when we lived in the Boston area, we went to a party at someone's house. Every available free wall was lined with bookshelves. This of course seemed normal to me.

The house owners then explained that when they first looked at the house, and were trying to figure out if there was enough wall space (it was a full Victorian with an octogon room off the living room), there was just Something that seemed odd to them. It wasn't until they got back outside that they could put their finger on what bothered them. Then they realized: the sellers were about the same age and socio-economic bracket, and one of the selling couple's kids was the same age as their daughter. But the *only* books in the entire house were in the glass butler's cabinets in the dining room -- sharing space with a stereo system! :yikes:

Of course, in retrospect, the sellers' real estate agent could have told them the same thing our agent told us when we were in the process of moving back to Pittsburgh: "All of this stuff has to GO!" (which in our case, included a whole lot of borrowed pottery equipment in the basement, as well as the books; the respective owners of said equipment were unhappy about this because they mostly lived in dinky Boston apartments with no space, whereas we had a biggish ranch house in the suburbs with a finished basement...). And then were going to have to take their equipment (2 wheels, three kilns, a slip mixer and a something else) back and find a new place to store it; the owner of the kilns had gotten us to drive down to her parents' house in CT to get them and one of the wheels out of the garage, so her brother could no longer pile stuff on them).

As for me, at the moment, nearly all the bottled ink fits in a couple of nice boxes from IKEA (except for the Flower Collection inks, and the tin from a Vector calligraphy set, which has various colors of cartridges in it, as well as the other 3 nib units); the samples (mostly) are in ink vial trays stacked up in a third IKEA box, but I'm not so good about putting stuff away -- there's one (untried) sample vial here in the living room on the shelf, and several more, plus the bottle of Diamine Eclipse in my knitting basket because those were the inks I brought on a trip down south last week, in case I needed to refill pens before the week was over. Plus several vials on the top shelf of the little bookcase next to my bed (where the IKEA boxes reside).

Fess up! I know we all do it.

How many of us choose a particular ink because the bottle was really really really pretty.

 

What was the last bottle of ink you got because you thought that the bottle looked gorgeous.

Mine was this bottle...it sits on my desk

so pretty

This is the reason why I have 8 bottles of Iroshizuku and hardly use any.

I am now replacing every word with "Iroshizuku". You're looking very Iroshizuku today! Iroshizuku to you too!

      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
