Greetings all,

 

Diamine Twilight- had to load it in four different pens today. This is the most ink loading of the same color I think I've ever done in a single 12-hour period.

 

All the best,

 

Sean :)

Clean hands this morning. The last of the Waterman South Seas Blue I got on my hands while filling my new/old Targa on Friday washed off when I shampooed my hair. I was surprised it lasted as long as it did. I'd filled my new Noodler's flex pen with Noodler's Ottoman Azure on Friday as well, getting a good handful of it when the tissue I used to wipe off the lip of the bottle leaked. That was gone by Friday evening, however, once I did the dinner dishes.

 

Since I'm going to an early Groundhog Day party this afternoon, I probably won't be filling pens today. No point, if I'm not going to be around to write with them. So for once, my friends will see me with ink-free hands. I wonder how many will be shocked and appalled. :hmm1:

A mix between Noodler's Blue and Borealis Black!!! Or Private Reserve Velvet Black since I have cartridges filled with that in my pen for school! And I write reminders on my hands all the time so whatever ink comes in a Pilot G2 :)

 

My hands are never without ink on them!

Every time there is a negative in life there is always a positive. A failed test, a relationship gone sour. Whatever it may be, your life is not over. If you dwell on the negative you can`t see the world with the right eyes. There is a positive in every moment, even if it is small. Try your whole life to find that positive and live off of it and you will be loved. My blog... Check it!!!

My first filling of Waterman's Havana Brown, which on my fingers looks like reddish dried blood. I've had several coworkers comment on it today (both my writing and my fingers!)

Either Asa-gao or Eclat de saphir. I've used two pens today, and I can't tell these inks apart all that easily on my hands. Probably Eclat de saphir though, as I took the pen apart to see just how little ink was left in the converter. There was none :headsmack:

 

Do you like Eclat de saphir? I've been thinking about purchasing a rich blue like that, but its hard to tell if the swatches online match the output on the page.

Diamine Havasu Turquoise on one of my fingers I can't seem to wash off. Forgot it was there from last night when changing my son's diaper this morning until I started seeing blue smears all over his legs, lol! Or wiping an eyelash from my face and getting a blue streak. I don't understand why it won't wash off my finger and yet keeps leaving its mark on everything I touch!

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
