What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

Diamine Sherwood Green, from a Green Kaweco Sport EF.

This morning it was a bit of Iroshizuku Kon-peki. Even though I fulled the Decimo just yesterday, it's been finicky, and the sudden heat/humidity around here has not been a plus. So this morning it was cloggy and I was seeing nib creep.

Dipped the nib in distilled water and now it's working fine, but I may consider taking the pen out of rotation soon. I probably should have done it sooner (there are other pens which haven't seen much love recently)... but Kon-peki....

Prussian Blue! Yesterday I bought 100g of Prussian Blue pigment to act as a reference as I look for an ink that most closely approximates the true hue. Transferring the fine powder from the shop's bag to a glass jar, I spilled a tiny amount of it, and trying to clean it up I mostly succeeded only in smearing it around. A little Prussian Blue, it turns out, goes a long, long way, as the top of my washing machine will now testify.

Diamine Imperial Purple from filling my new Marlen Aleph. My non-pen-nut wife not only didnt understand the pen purchase but also shot me the advice not to sign any legal documents with that color.

I can attest that Sailor Sei Boku looks really, really close without being chemically the same (i.e. sailor sei boku does not dissolve in strong alkali). Close enough that it was the only way to solve the argument.

Filling my Edison Nouveau Premiere Winter Edition with Diamine Pumpkin and my Nemosine Singularity with Noodler's Navajo Turquoise. Should be the other way around, but hey, it works.

I always use latex gloves so fingers stay pristine.

 

Inks used were Noodlers BBG and R&K Sepia.

A little GvFC Moss Green from flushing the pen prior to putting in a fresh cart so it was pretty diluted and washed right off.

[LWJ2]

Noodler's North African Violet — I had to dis-assemble the feed of one of my Parker 45s.

[bluebellrose]

lol Brian that's why I use gloves. No inky fingers!

[matt49]

Lamy Blue & Waterman absolute (formerly havana) brown

[1nkulus]

Nice n clean, thanks to a pencil day.

[minddance]

R&K Blu Mare, for filling up a Sailor Progear MF.

I've been a very good girl and managed not to get any ink on me today, even though I refilled a couple of pens with Bungubox Imperial Purple and Noodler's Mandalay Maroon. Hooray ink syringes!

Black. Mostly from weeding, for a change.

[ca49reber]

Colorverse Hubble Zoom. I used enough ink to combine the small & large bottles. When taking the small bottle off of the large one after letting it drain for several hours, it managed to ink several of my fingers. Now I need to rinse out the smaller bottle. There will probably be more ink on my fingers.

I'd ordered a bottle of Shin-Ryoku from Amazon, and they did a lousy job packing it. They threw the box into one of those huge Prime plastic bubble envelopes with zero packing material to stabilize the bottle and protect it. The cap got loose enough to leak into the box, and then out of the zip top of the envelope, so I got ink on my hands simply from pulling the package out of the mailbox.

 

It's going back now, with a nasty gram to Amazon about taking more care with such fragile items.

 

Jerks.

Clean now, but earlier, blue, from filling a Pilot 78 with Noodler's Kung te-Cheng.

[chromantic]

Several today due to flushing 4 JIFs and an M300 - mostly Kana-cho Midnight, with traces of van Gogh Dark Green, KWZ Red #1 and Inspired Blue.
