I'm thoroughly enjoying the two new Caran d'Ache greens: Vibrant Green and Delicate Green. Even though Delicate Green seems to not shade as well as Vibrant Green when you swab, the "edge" shading is much more visible with the lighter Delicate Green - see the small bit of lettering. This looks great printed; I'll post more later.

 

Paper is Tomoe River A5 size in a paperforfountainpens notebook.

NICE!

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Woo Hoo!! Thank you, Cyber6, and may I mention, I'm sensing a theme?

Magnificent! Beautifully done. After seeing your cards, I may almost come to like green inks... ;)

The only green inks I go for are the oddballs, e.g., Vert Olive and Alt Goldgrün:

I could go for a plate of them right now! And you should see the olive aisle in the grocery stores in Spain --they're a riot! Stuffed with almost everything imaginable... Fun.

I got hooked on green olives stuffed with anchovies. They are hard to find out here. I LOVE them. Growing up my front yard had two olive trees that we had topiaried into cubes. They were so cool.

That's really cool. Could you post a before/after wash shot once? I'd be interested to see how you achieve these wonderful little washes.

It's just a Q-tip dipped in the ink. It comes out pretty dark at first (top left) and lightens as the cotton absorbs the ink. Give it a try!

      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
