Do you have Ink Splash Fever?
Do you find yourself with a half-syringe full of diluted ink, completely unable to send it down the drain?

And instead, splatter it onto some paper?

Or maybe you keep a paper towel handy while cleaning your pens...and once it's covered in ink it looks kind of beautiful.

Maybe you do something else a bit abstract with your fountain pen inks - like make little puddles of ink to ogle?

 

Please snap a photo and share with your fellow ink-o-philes.

 

All splishes, splashes, dribs, drabs, drips, drops, splatters, puddles, smears, fingerprints, and other inky messes are welcome!

Here, diluted Noodler's Sunrise frolics with some drips of diluted Noodler's Dragon's Napalm.

I smeared some of the Sunrise around with a cotton swab I had previously used to clean up some ink, which made a pretty nice green on the paper!

:)

My pen cleaning paper towel keeps a piece of my inking-up history, enabling me to go back in time and remember the good old days when I still had Copper Orange, or when I in a panic dabbed up a few gobs of permanent green acrylic dip pen ink. Like old scars, you can remember the source of every splatter. And in this case, some cat hair that makes a lovely addition every time you wipe your pen...

Wow, that is a work of art.

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

Only the ones with ink splotches and only until I scan them.

@Noihvo -

I know what you mean about remembering things from the paper towel. This one reminds me of the only time I nearly flipped over a sample vial of DeAtramentis Orchids...which is scented. The whole room smelled nice, for a minute.

And we DO suddenly sound like hoarders! I keep the same paper towel for a while - like maybe a month, until I can't find a clean spot on it to use anymore...or until I use it to clean up something else, like glue. Then I toss it and it starts all over again.

I did love the gold on the towel too, and it was okay to write with in a broad wet pen, but it is not super saturated (except on the napkin).

Inquiring minds want to know... what's the back story for these two circumstances?

Well... nothing really cool... I was just filling these (into different pens on different days) and lo and behold... yikes... the bottles fell over. My fault but may I suggest that it was also the MB bottle and especially its cap which are too round and flat... and that made them so hard to hang onto? And that the Noodler's bottle was too full (as always when new)? In the meantime, I fill more carefully with everything in a big, wide, flat porcelain dish...

      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. 
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
