Week #10 / 5 Mar: Show Us Where You Live - 2017 Weekly Ink Project

Recommended Posts

Show us where you live this week. Pick an ink that says something about where you live (climate, geography, food…): e.g. red brick houses, desert brown, luscious green forests, deep blue glacial lakes, slate blue harbour, and so on. evyxmsj contributed this idea.

 

As usual, don't forget to share with us your choice of ink, your writing, drawing, doodling or anything with the ink in this thread. You can take a photo, make a scan, or even better, write letters and CRV reviews (what is a CRV?) and mail them to the many ink pals here. You are welcome to check back on this thread even when we've gone past this week.

Week 10 - show us where you live... I live on a small Caribbean island. From almost anywhere on the island you can either see the sea, or easily reach a point where you can. I live close to the narrowest point of the island, and so I see both the windward and leeward ocean...

Most people associate the Caribbean with the (almost?) turquoise that you see on the beach. But when you reach deeper waters, the darker blue takes over, and it's also what I see on my daily walk around the hill in my neighborhood, where I can overlook the ocean on the windward side: the dark blue of the deep sea.

Lgsotek, careful what you wish for, our scourge is drought...

In fact I could do - but I won't - an inky theme based on the colors of the land - reddish brown, greyish green, for when we are deep in the dry season.

Although truth be told, we have had an exceptionally wet twelve months just past, and the island is greener than I think I have ever seen it in march!

 

And it is really good to be able to see the sea...

I must go ink up glittery golds and neons.

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

Did you have a good vacation?

 

Yes, thank you! I spent the week with my aging parents in their 55+ Florida retirement community. I did win ONE of my shuffleboard matches - those old guys are GOOD!

Each week there's less and less of us. C'mon guys, show some inks :)

(I neglected to clarify in the above that the reason we had to switch to an EF nib is because, well, that's where I "live". :) )

I live in a medium size city in Texas, but I'm traveling right now & the inks I have with me are more suited to describing the surrounding area than the city itself. (I haven't been the biggest fan of Callifolio inks primarily because of the moderate to low saturation, but it turns out, they are fairly good for describing the landscape. :))

      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..
    • 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
