[Tom Aquinas]

Shaeffer Skrip Blue...been using it for about 55 years along with Parker Quink.

[brunico]

Sailor Grenade and Diamine Graphite, a pomegranate and greenish grey combination, and on some warmish artists paper, so the Grenade gets ruddier and the sagey green of the Graphite shines through.

[Pax85]

In class: Noodler's Bulletproof black.

 

In letters and my journal: a new bottle of Bad Blue Heron. I love it so far!

[79spitfire]

Noodler's Cactus fruit eel, Noodler's Red-Black, and PR DC supershow blue

 

It's an American ink day!

[Robinkeys]

most of my FPs are mepty after a good cleanout, but my bulow x450 is enjoying a bit of my precious chesterfield Sodalite, my padrino styb has a manuscript green cart, my parker sonnet has higgins eternal black, and my Cross ATX and Hero school pen hace Higgins eternal.

I have inadvertently filled most of my pens with beautiful fall colors. Thanks, subconscious!

 

Montblanc Seaweed

Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses

Noodler's Golden Brown

Pilot Blue-black

[Avalonia]

Sailor Sky High, and I can see some of the reddish-pink sheen on my little Leuchtturm 1917 notebook! It's pretty.

[Cyhz]

Noodler's Red-Black in my Sheaffer 300 F and Noodler's Army Green (original recipe) in my Lamy 2000 M.

[2GreyCats]

I carry a lot of pens with me in a leather zip pouch both for correcting papers and writing under the document camera which projects onto the front screen in my classrooms.

 

Today --

 

PR American Blue in my Rotring Artpen 1.1, a Baoer 801, and my no-name A&W "Marquis" navy blue German pen. LOVE those pens! Can't get them anymore... I'd probably cry if I lost one of the three I have. I ought to put them away, I suppose, and use Pelikanos or Sheaffers instead (more replaceable).

 

PR Spearmint in a green Sheaffer NN

My homebrew Forest Green in another A&W Marquis, black barrel

Skrip red (new) in the dark red A & W Marquis -- that's my main correcting pen

Skrip black (old bottle) in a Sheaffer Skripsert

A mixed purple in a Platinum Preppy, created by topping up with Waterman purple and a couple drops of black Skrip (because I *hate* the purple that comes in the Preppy cartridges).

These look really good, especially together. Is the new Herbin really that dark?

[Essensia]

Noodler's Eel Blue

Pilot Iroshizuku ku-jaku

Montblanc Lavender Purple

Monteverde Blue

 

The Noodler's Eel Blue is much better (richer, darker) than I remember it being. Might be the pen or the paper. Might be my memory. In any case, yay for giving every ink another chance every now and then.

[doji33]
