My ink is getting into Autumn spectrums

My Fragrance is getting a warmer spice

My coffee darker flavours.

So the perfect ink for this post is Seasons Greetings from MB. It had great sheen and reminds me of coffee.

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

Since it is early September here and the light is growing warmer and some of the trees at higher altitude are starting to turn more golden, my ink of choice is Stipula Calamo Sapphron - a golden yellow with wonderful shading.

 

Temperatures here are still warm but not hot. So the fragrance tonight is pine that is soft, warm and mellow.

 

Lastly, the coffee - ahh the coffee - a warm, mellow cup of Guatamalan.

KWZ Honey,

Gold reflecting falling leaves,

Sweet aroma soothes.

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

It's still summer in Texas, although it's a bit cooler today because of unseasonal rain during the last two days. Even so, it will soon be time for browns, oranges, and murky greens.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Brilliant. Love all the autumn/fall range of colours...

My coffee right now is Caribou Eclipse. Pumpkin Spice is everywhere now, but I waited until September to indulge. Why?! It’s a great flavor!

 

I put a sample of De Atramentis Red Brown in my Retro 51 Black Cherry Pen I recently cleaned (such a backlog of pens waiting to be cleaned, waiting for that last ink to run out). It kind of seemed fitting, though it’s a bit too early in my part of Missouri for trees to turn, though I should check out the ash tree since it is first.

 

To me Diamine Safari seems autumnal. I have a few pens already filled with brown ink. Maybe an orange or yellow orange ink would be fitting.

An aside. Thank you for posting this topic. It got me outside to check the ash tree, with just enough light to decide it had not started to change yet (ash gets a treatment every year to protect it).

 

I saw Mars, and a single Canada goose flew overhead and was making its honking sound.

I was looking at some Pumpkin Spice coffee as well!

I've been using the darker greens, browns now.

I was at a nature reserve in the year and see similar honking geese, majestic in flight, terrible at at a graceful landing haha

Well, it's just getting into Spring here, so perhaps fresh greens and blues are the go. Maybe Iroshizuku chiku-rin and ama-iro? There are of course the Spring colours in Sailor's Shikiori range (nioisumire, miruai, sakuramori, wakauguisu and yozakura) to consider as well, although I only have miruai right now; a bottle of nioisumire is on order from Japan.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Inked up this month with Diamine Autumn Oak and R&K Alt-Goldgrun.

 

Ah, Alt Goldgrün and Safari are quite close in color. Glad to know it seems you think that color can be autumnal too.

Wow! Fall is really in the air today. A weak storm front is moving in, with temperatures dropping, wind and clouds moving in - no rain though.

 

This calls for the inking of my brown iridiscent swirl Franklin Christoph Panther in Graf von Faber Castell Hazelnut Brown - warm and inviting. And tonight, I made a lovely cup of Nicaraguan coffee (decaf, of course - otherwise I would be on here all night long).

It should be full fall by now, but we keep getting hot days. Today was better. I can't wait as autumn is by far my favorite season.

 

No pumpkin spice anything for me; I like my coffee to taste like coffee.

 

My house will soon be smelling like wood smoke from the fireplace mixed with baked goods. Cookies on the hearth, anyone?

 

I don't have any inks that I use only during this season, but I do have several that take on more resonance. Oku-yama is exactly the color of the burning bush outside my kitchen after it turns. Chu-shu is perfect when it's all cold and gloomy and gray outside and I'm all warm and cozy inside. Ancient Copper is another turned leafy color.

Yet another Sarah.

Favorite colors of the year. Give me the golds, the coppers, the oranges, the bright and deep reds... YUM.

 

These are the colors I have inked on this very dark, gloomy day...

      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
