Happy Easter!

 

Iro means colour in Japanese. Use a Japanese ink this week.

 

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.

Click here to read more about this community project. Links to the two previous links can be found there too.

---------

Next week: Use an ink or sample that's been gifted to you.

All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews

I was ready for you! Here is my sample of favorite Japanese inks. Hard to choose among so many great options, but Sailor's Souten and Hachimitsu (Honey) are inks I always have loaded in pens. I really like this combination of colors.

And then, there's the sheen on Tomoe River paper!

Whoa, Tas, this looks beautiful :)

 

 

 

 

My my!

 

Thanks guys. I have Tomoe River to thank for this. I never sketch on it, too smooth but a friend bought me a couple of Japanese brushes and I thought I'd give them a try. Miles, MILES harder to use that the videos let on.

I like the Blue Black but feel a similar "meh" as you to their blue.

I've been wanting to try that. But it's currently out of stock at Vanness (I know because I was ordering inks last night).

No fancy drawings here. Just ink and pens.

Delighted you've shown us some of your Japanese collection. Even more delighted to see that gorgeous Edison ! What model is it ?

 

*Ah haa . . . found it - Beaumont. :wub:

Yes it's an Edison Beaumont pneumatic filler. My favorite pen, right up there with my Pelikans.

Great pen choices! Edison and Pelikan are my favorite newly-made pens. For vintage, Waterman wins with me, hands down.

      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
