Autumn/spring equinox falls on the 23rd this week. Celebrate spring or autumn with an ink of your choice.

As usual, don't forget to share with us your choice of ink, your writing, drawing, doodling or anything with the ink in this thread. You can take a photo, make a scan, or even better, write letters and CRV reviews (what is a CRV?) and mail them to the many ink pals here. You are welcome to check back on this thread even when we've gone past this week.

Click here to read more about this community project. Links to the two previous links can be found there too.

Next week: Undiluted Love

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

I like it.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I'm going with a stereotypical autumn colour: brownish orange:

 

Here's an attempt at drawing...

Actually I did half of it, wetted it with more ink, then folded the paper, retouched some lines on the other half. That's why there's different shades of orange.

 

 

Well done! I like the painterly effect.

Following the thinking of others, I will go with a perfectly clichéd color to celebrate the Inkquinox: Diamine's Pumpkin. [it's in my contract as "HalloweenHJB" to use Halloween-themed colors wherever possible... ;) ]

When I see this ink I kind of automatically associates it with you!

. . . any orange in fact :)

 

 

My submission this week, Diamine's Golden Brown.

I did originally try a sketch with Iroshizuku Ina Ho but it came out waay too dark when splattered or brushed on. In fact, I think I actually prefer the colour of Golden Brown. It is a little dry but my old toothbrush didn't mind.

Ink: Diamine Golden Brown (toothbrush splatter), Quink Black Solv-X in my trusty Namiki Falcon - nib used upside down to create Silver Birch markings.

Paper: Cass Art Watercolour 300gsm. - note to self, line up the "grain" of the paper in future . . . .

Stunning, Tas! I'm in awe of what you can do with Falcon nib upside down. Me I could only make ink swabs with it. How does that toothbrush splatter work?

Thank you. I'm in awe of your handwriting :wub:

I love an upside down nib, magic often happens when precision is avoided.

 

Toothbrush splatter . . . dip into ink, splatter onto paper with thumb, clean up desk and keyboard :blush: , attempt to wash ink off thumb :unsure:

One of my absolute favorites of your work, and that is saying quite a lot.

AWE! Award

You really showed off the range that is possible with this ink. Thank you!

Love this so much!

      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
