Noodler's Purple Martin ~ Tried a sample of this from a Goulet Pens, and was pleasantly surprised.

 

 

Absolutely stunning! What fantastic art!!!

So, do you create a bunch of tree trunks and then do the ink doodles? Or do you do them one at a time?

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

I draw a general pencil outline of the trees in small batches when I'm inspired (2-3), and then add the ink of choice when I have the time. Because inks have different drying times I tend to keep a few on the go in various stages, depending on my schedule. The most time consuming part is filling in the trunk, so having these ready to go (dry) means I can just sit down for a few minutes here and there as I find a few moments.

Pira, you are an incredibly talented artist. I am delighted with the drawings you have done with many of my favorite inks. They are magnificent!

I am a new convert to the Diamine Syrah club! I really enjoy this ink, but I will have to investigate more closely its brother, Merlot. More images to come...

And now for Merlot. Very pleased with this ink, but it is a major nightmare to scan and get a faithful representation of it. Not sure why my scanner has such a difficult time with this ink, but Photoshop got it close to what I see on the paper. Yummy!

Thank you for showing Diamine Syrah & Merlot!

 

I was disappointed with Syrah because I was expecting it to be more pink and it was very RED to me in person. But this is coming from someone who doesn't like reds.

 

I have not tried Merlot, but I imagine it will also be too much of a dark red for my preferences. I better just stick with my purple-pink inks that I know I like. ;)

 

Still, you always manage to make all the colors look so beautiful here on the screen!!!

I truly love Pelikan Edelstein Amethyst —I think you will, too! The Edison I have it in dries just a bit at the nib, and leaves the most glorious sheen when I first write... Pretty stuff!

Ooh pretty sheen!!

Is it quite similar to Mont Blanc Lavender Purple? I have that and love it :)

Not sure if this counts as a purple, blurple or black. I was not very impressed with this colour until I used a bolder nib (just looked like washed out black otherwise).

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
