Inky T O D - Color Swatches - Green - Please Post Your Pictures And Tell Us Your Thoughts

Recommended Posts

I gave away my Gemstone green and I regret it; it holds up in fade tests. I've never seen the Always Greener.

 

BTW, do you have pictures of your ink cabinets?

I have no cabinet --just the entire right side of my desk top:

Scary, isn't it? ;)

Scary for sure! How many ink bottles have you knocked right off the side? If that were my desk, I'd need a safety net.

Close calls, for sure! Luckily, the cat knows better than to go anywhere near. At least while I'm awake...

So are the Levengers behind the ink pots?

No, orange. He may have gotten into the Oranje Boven...

Yes, right -- just in front (below) the Herbin 1670 Inks. Current count is 104 bottles. Do you think an intervention is appropriate? ;)

Yes absolutely. You have too many bottles of ink. You should obviously send some of them to me! Because I'm pretty sure I *don't* have 104 bottles. Yet....

:lticaptd:

Okay, I actually just counted (that's what spreadsheets are for, right). I have 98. :blush: Mind you, a couple of them are really little, and came with a J Herbin glass pen a friend was giving away, and I don't actually know if those are FP safe.... And the four KWZI bottles on order are just that. On order. As in, not yet actually in my possession (and since they're not yet paid for, not technically mine yet, either).

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.... B)

Thanks for the perspective, Ruth! I was thinking I was far beyond the reasonable limit, and there you are in the same league as me. Phheww!

 

I have 77 inks (including a few samples). I thought I was crazy and out of control... Apparently not, yet :lol:

 

I predict that it won't be long before you're rounding 100! Splendid!

:o I'm pretty sure you said you had 85ish in your letter. Have you done that much shopping already?

It was a rough estimate. When I took the time to count them, it was a sobering experience... :)

Another inky portrait of the mighty fountain pen. One of my favorites in green stripes, the intrepid Pelikan 100:

Well, this is my theme song ...

 

I'll start with Baystate Blue, but I don't know when to stop.

Yes --at least that's what the bottle says. I *may* have added some other ingredients over the years (I've had these Levenger inks for a really long time!), but I couldn't swear. It serves as my bright green if ever I need one... ;)

      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. 
    • A Smug Dill
      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
