I've got some of that.

An fpn member sent me some and I've never opened it.

Why is it so expensive?

And how expensive is it?

 

I only have a couple of ml, but I'll be keeping it for "special" although it doesn't look particularly nice does it.

For the Europe Challenge I wanted to represent two of my favorite places - France with a J.Herbin ink, and London, England with the Tower Bridge. Also, I love Cacao du Bresil!

Ha Ha. I did that one for May the Force.

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

Lots of European inks to chose from (and my stormtrooper Sheaffer for last week, one of many I have missed)

From a former Dutch colony, probably appropriately, a Dutch ink: Akkerman Bekakt Haags...

Normally this color would be indicative of the dominant color in the landscape this time of year, but we're having some rain this week and it's amazing how much green there still is...

I like that color a lot! I love those pretty reddish-browns.

Ik vind die kleur heel leuk! Ik houd van die mooie rode-bruins. [Correct?]

Toen ik het pas had vond ik die rood-bruine inkt heel mooi.

When I'd just got it I thought that reddish brown ink very beautiful.

Maar nu dat ik bekeerd ben tot blauw weet ik het eigenlijk niet meer...

But now that I've been converted to blue I don't really know anymore...

 

So I for one am glad I figured out a way to make the ink flow back into the main part of the bottle, so it won't dry out in the inkwell...

And I may come back to it - I do find color likings to shift.

If I were you, I'd put this ink to week #24!

🤔 I think I may be able to find something else for that one 🙂

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast. 
    • Ceilidh
      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
