It would be more exciting if we could watch the ink dry on the page.

 

Accidentally spilt some ink on the grass outside while transferring from large bottle to small bottle. Now sitting watching coloured grass grow...

When I did that with Noodler's Highland Heather it killed the grass. The mole crickets were unfazed.

Please elaborate - did you spill some ink from the subject bottle? I am near to tears, you will need to start a new experiment all over, perhaps PI Yama-Budo?

I am not the OP, that is KaB. I just transferred the remains of some ink from a large bottle, where I couldn't get at it anymore to a smaller bottle.

But I thought that watching grass grow was in the same meditative theme as watching the level of ink go down in KaB's bottle of Tsuki-Yo.

Like some here, I await the film of the event, hoping that it will be in real time.

 

On the other hand, I am contemplating the re-constitution of the ink in this bottle --

that I recently received from eBay vendor julisev2cisw. There is dried out ink powder at the bottom. How much water should I put in? Is it a dye Blue-Black ink, or and Iron-Gall one?

My apologies, I forgot that KaB was the OP of this thread.

 

While reconstituting your ink, please post writing samples of the different stages of dilution, filling up your bottle in contrast to this thread.

I've really enjoyed reading through this thread. What most impresses me is that there is still no ink on the tassel.

 

That is truly incredible.

Oh but there is... on the backside of the bottle

Thanks for the idea! I just picked up my glass bottle of Visconti's Turquoise from the customs (coming in from Peter's in your neck o' da woods) and I wanted to measure its real volume by transferring the ink into a graduated cylinder because I don't believe it's 60 ml. So I'll do that out on the grass outside. I'll also sit around watching in the hope that the grass will grow under the coloured snow...

It's high summer here, and it has been raining a lot, so the grass is literally growing under one's feet.

Let us know what the results of your measuring.

ink on the string (suppose that's what you mean with 'lassel'?)

Kudos for OP to do this run, It will be even more trilling if its only with EF and F nibs :P

 

I get that. But I'm not into F let alone EF. Got an F on a Lamy studio 'cause that writes like an M ...

 

I'm in my fifties, I would have the patience to sit out emtying with an EF, but might not have the time left. In my youth, when I had the time left, might not have had the patience -_-

I'm loving this thread, KaB! Just stumbled across it and have read all thirteen pages. I'm guessing that your ink bottle will be empty sometime early summer.

So space and time are linked together. As we are looking across space, we are looking back in time. The further and further away those stars are the further back in time you are looking. Now you are seeing a star that is say six thousand years ago. Imagine somebody at that star looking at us They would be seeing us as we were six thousand years ago.

      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

      @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
