Hi,

This is my first ink mix which i was using for the past 3 weeks.

My Sheaffer 100 with medium nib lays a nice wet line. No feathering even on cheap paper. The ink dries quickly (appr 10 secs).

Comments please..

You are a daring person indeed! Pretty color.

Allow me until my body becomes still,

To sacrifice as a still standing tree!

Just mixed these two inks in a T10 cartridge. I love the violet that's resulted. Too bad I didn't quite monitor the proportions.

Good to know that was helpful, I accidentally made it, now this is my everyday ink

That's a lovely colour! I might have to try it out myself.

Bril blue with some crimson violet is my fauvorite mixed ink. No exact proportions. more blue less crimson. The beauty is that it works through many different proportions!

Mesu:

One more poem in the same link as above. But you got to do this:

1. Sit erect on a chair with a firm back rest

2. Breathe slowly five times

3. Relax and calm yourself... calm down... calm down.... that's better!

4. Fix your gaze gently, but firmly on the computer monitor

5. Sing the poem in Old Mac Donald tune.

Cheers!

      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

      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
