Hey folks I threw this idea out on the Virtual Pen Posse Facebook page and it garnered some interest, so I thought I would post it here and see what peoples reactions are. We have all heard of Movember.......I thought of INKuary The idea, is very simple..... For charitable donation's the participants will use only one ink and one pen for an entire month. (Gasp Horror!) Yes that's right, if you choose to take part you will only have one ink and one pen. Who? Well, anyone who wants to join in. Why? Well, for fun. Yes it will be painful, and yes you will probably never use that ink again afterwards! But the pain will raise some money, and in turn help ease someone else's pain. And you will have the self assured feeling that If you were stranded on a desert island with one ink, you will survive When? I was thinking based on timing and to see if there is any interest, we would opt for February (It is also the shortest month!) How? Well that's up to you. As long as you only use one, then you win. But if you want to make it more interesting If you want to list your inks and your highest bidder gets to choose the ink, then that is also fine. YOU get to choose the pen, but it can only be one. and no nib swapping allowed during the month! (IF you allow someone to choose your ink and you need a certain ink for work, you can keep 1 separate work pen, that is to be used ONLY for work) The Details. Well, to be honest, there is not many details, but I would like this (if it goes ahead) to be fairly simple. We can have a collective cause, or individual causes. You can choose your own ink, or let someone else choose. So would anyone like to volunteer? Or make a pledge? I will throw my hat in the ring first. My pen is a Sheaffer NoNonsense with medium nib. I don't need specific inks, so will let the highest bidder choose mine. I use about 2-3ml per week, so I need to have at least 15ml of ink to survive the month. Here are my inks you can choose from: Diamine Royal Blue Diamine Imperial Blue Diamine Twilight Blue Sheaffer Turquoise Parker Blue/Black R&K Salix Diamine Sherwood Green Diamine Racing Green J Herbin Lierre Sauvage Waterman Purple Diamine Violet Diamine Ancient Copper Diamine Oxblood Diamine Burnt Sienna J Herbin Lie de The Waterman Brown Diamine Sepia Diamine Ochre Diamine Coral Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black Noodlers Black Highest bidder gets to choose my ink for the month...... Hope some others will come along for the ride! Let me know what you think Renfield
