That pumpkin is awesome. What's the nice tortoise she'll pen in the top left?

 

 

It's a somewhat inexpensive Levenger True Writer pen. Not fancy, but a really nice, reliable pen.

KWZ Grapefruit. Spotted this color when going through Amberlea's CRVs; it's one of the most unusual colors I've ever seen. A retina-searing pink-orange.

Sailor Kin-Mokusei. A bright, cheerful orange that doesn't look washed out. Yay.

I like your little mini-review format, Errant.

 

Grapefruit and Kin-mokusei are the best oranges I've tried. Kin is the very acme of orange, while "intense" best describes the red/orange of Grapefruit.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Errant, I'm glad to have enabled you.

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

Got a few new swatches done in the Orange zone (cos we all use orange ink every day). First up, Monteverde Fireopal (from the new gemstone range). I like.

Me, too! [And there are some of us weirdos that do use orange ink everyday! ;) ] This looks like a great color. Do you have any other red-orange / dark orange inks to compare it to?

HalloweenHJB, does this help...

The thick line is from a wide italic dip nib, so a fat wet line, which I blotted after some of the ink had dried, so hopefully not too wet to hide the colour.

GREAT! I love seeing the colors in context. Now I'm really impressed by the Fire opal!

Not nearly as lovely as Liz's display, but a visual of the main orange inks I have on hand. Some are weird (inexplicable) mixes. :unsure:

      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..
    • 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

      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
