Runnin_Ute Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I more or less (ok, almost) completed the fill of Napa Burgundy. Since I hadn't tried the Diamine Merlot yet I put it in the 3776..... http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af283/Runnin_Ute/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-01/20170110_203738_zpsvymfgxs5.jpg Brad "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind" - Rudyard Kipling"None of us can have as many virtues as the fountain-pen, or half its cussedness; but we can try." - Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkstainedruth Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Wow -- your Skrip Red is a lot brighter than mine. I didn't like it when I tried it, because it was more of a blood red to me.Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth "It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

amberleadavis Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Oh, hey, we were comparing Olivarste with PR Avacado Green. So, please save a page for CRVing. 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.

Newjelan Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 This topic is brilliant, I am learning so much and some of it relates to inks! 😏 One of the best things is that I realise that I'm not the only nerd around 👍🏻 I prepared my sample on Sunday but haven't gotten around to photographing it until now. I have learnt something about attempting to take photos inside my house. My house is virtually a glass box and consequently it's full of light. So this should make things easy. But from an architectural perspective (& due to summer heat), all our windows and doors are tinted. On top of that I'm a lousy photographer, I'm using my iPad, it's been too hot to take them outside and now it's pouring. This means that the colours in my pics have only a passing resemblance with reality. For what it's worth, here it is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkstainedruth Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Well, I finally had a chance this evening to get a bunch of scanning done (sadly, a lot of it was work done NOT with a fountain pen, but artwork inked with a Uniball M -- and touched up with a fair amount of white out... ). But this is the important stuff for purposes of this thread: Both ended up being done on the Tomoe River paper, because it's just slightly slicker than the stuff from the Pelikan Hub, and the pen, a Parker 45, has what I think is either an OF or OM nib so it's got an even weirder small sweet spot than even a "normal" 45 nib. And it's a slightly dry writer, and the ink is also drier and a bit less lubricated than many De Atramentis inks so it just worked better on the TR paper. And of course I'm *still* trying to wrap my brain around the fact that when I first heard of the ink it was relabeled D'A Silvergrau... and isn't any more....

sakshi__reddy Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 This is such a wonderful idea! The threads would be great to follow even if I can't contribute (as will probably happen, considering my modest-ish supply of ink). Here's my humble contribution to this week's theme. Excuse the horribe photographs- there is a paucity of natural light in my room so I am making do with a bright desk lamp and my phone's camera.

sakshi__reddy Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Thank you for joining! That is one gorgeous ink! Thank you, it is quite pretty Giving credit to Mr Mehandiratta here. It was his review of Krishna Dark Rose that pushed me over the edge into ordering bottles of Krishna inks. Blue Velvet is my favourite from the Diamine anniversary inks. Ditto. I find it stunning even in a nib as fine as the Vintage capless I currently have it inked in Edited January 14, 2017 by sakshi__reddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
