Some time ago Sisnistra1l has sent me thirteen sample of Sailor inks. I'll review them all. So first let's look at Madarin Duck that makes part of Kingdom Note's Bird series:

These inks are sold in Japan in Kingdom Note stationery shop. They can also be purchased from on-line sellers but to be honest I find the price (+/- 40 $) inacceptable. This statement doesn't mean I don't enjoy using Sailor's limited inks. Unhappily I enjoy doing it a lot and when the sample's over I feel sad :)

Mandarin Duck (Aix Galericulata) is nice, warm brown ink. It's pleasant but I'm not really excited about it. It's nice and good and that's all I can say.

To give credit where it is due - I shared a sample of this ink that I got from member Tinjapan, who lives close to the Kingdom Note store in Tokyo. He just supplied me with the fungi series, so they will be my next ones to review. I bow to your review, visvamitra!

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Marvelous Close up work.

What camera do you use?

What are you using for a lighting source?

Thank you Vis and Sin!

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

Igsoltek - I'll review full Birds series, 4/5 of Insect series (I lack Cicada), Tears of Clown, Ink of Witch, Maruzen Sepia and Akane. Akane is stunning.

 

Oh, good! I'm trying to decide if I want Akane, so I look forward to more pictures! :)

I got my two mushrooms, Entoloma virescens (the cute sky blue mushroom) and Amanita muscaria (fly agaric). I'm a little let down by the latter, coz in the swabs it looks exactly like Omaezaki Sunset which I have already.... :(

All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews

For those of you who really loved the color, I found the Pennbbs #235 to be an acceptable replacement. It has some glittery elements (in theory) but in my pen I haven't seen them.

      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
