After looking at some of the collections I will never say, "I have too much ink". I really thought my 30 bottles of ink was a lot. Each of the collections posted are nice in their own way, but some of them could be displays in a store. Thanks to all for sharing your collections.

I have considered showing my husband some of the photos in this thread, and saying "See, I'm not so bad...."

Somehow, though, I don't think he'll buy it. :(

It's an older picture. Those empty spaces are now filled with Sailor ink back ups. :P

 

I'm so proud of you!!!

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

I show off Saskia's collection and try to say that I don't have an inking problem. The last time, my father saw my collection, he went and found me some beautiful glass bottles. He's the ultimate enabler.

OH, see that's a good name.

 

I think I just display my collection more than others, because a LOT of people I have met here have a LOT more ink than I do.

Decided to clean up my bookshelf so I could have more space for my books. Some of my inks have been moved to a box now.

I just moved my ink out of my desk and into the top 3 shelves of a DVD rack.

 

As I suffer migraines from bright light, sunlight is totally excluded from this room so I have no worries about ink fading.

 

Hope you enjoy the view.

PLEASE don't tell us you "DE-CLUTTERED, DOWNSIZED, an ENTIRE cabinet of INK?

 

NO, NO, I fear the aliens (POD People?) have abducted & spirited away our Ms Amber..............IF so, @ least you managed to "take an ENTIRE cupboard of ink with you to the aircraft!"

 

WHEREVER they have taken Ms Amber @ least there is hope it may be a civilised society, when you arrive with your Ink Cupboard, "the cupboard, formerly known as #2" AND I bet you managed to slip a Twsbi stub or more "somplace" where they would be available for use upon landing. Please let us know you are well & having a good time.

Well, cabinet 1 is still in place, and in fairness, I didn't declutter or downsize, I just unpacked boxes and moved books.

That's awesome! I like how you gradually add height to the stacks so that you can see what inks are behind. Have you ever counted them?

 

I *only* have 95 bottles and that is almost 4.5L of ink!!! I don't dare imagine how much you've got there!!

I don't want to count. I haven't counted since 2014. I know that I give away and share a LOT of ink but I use a lot of it too. I can't find the picture of the third cabinet. I will so so shortly.

Wow Amberlea!! I really like the stepped shelves, gotta remember to look for those again. Just out of curiosity...it's that *all* the bottled ink you have?

Looking good Amberlea :-)

 

Mine are all stored in a rather tatty, mismatched assortment of recycled cardboard boxes, on two continents, in two different hemispheres :-/

Not to worry about their containers,

 

Just slap some packing tape around those boxes, affix MY address on a label & send 'em to me; I have an old walnut, 8 foot tall, bookcase from my Great Grandfather, in which I will be happy to store them properly for you. They will be residing in the living room as the center of attention. Nope, no sir, No way should this be allowed to go on, I just can't stand to think of YOUR inks in "tattered, mismatched, old boxes," SEND 'em on, it's the LEAST I can do for you. AND I would be happy to offer unrestricted visitation, ANYTIME!

 

YOUR inks deserve NO less than to be together. I don't mind @ all.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      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
