Certainly a very happy color! The shading is what strikes me most---from a dark orange-red to an almost soft, peach color. If only this ink was drinkable, I'd gulp it right up!

 

Still needs more sparkles, though. =p

Nice shading. But I'm not enamored of the color (not much for orange -- I'd probably try it, and then want to trade it to MarneM for say, a bottle of Cornflower...).

Thanks for the review.

Jadie thank you for your lovely comments with the reviews. I am in search of sparkles as we speak so watch out for more pictures soon. The shading is wild with this one, there are many shades that you can tease out with different nibs etc. Incredible.

I might have to buy the whole set just for this color. :-)

I'm so glad you liked it!

I like your thinking! Cornflower is wooing me as we speak..!

Admittedly, I think I like this color so much because it reminds me of my favorite flowers...

Not very impressed by the music set but the flower collection is something else. Impressed by almost every color.

Ooh way pretty.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

What a happy, vibrant little flower. Thanks for sharing the photo! A good likeness between flower and ink actually.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
