Week #31 / 30 Jul: Be Done With It - 2017 Weekly Ink Project

Recommended Posts

Finish one of your samples or bottles. Or pick one that has the least amount left.

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: Love/Hate mix

Been meaning to use up the last of this in a Metro ever since someone posted that they'd done so and it worked well, but other inks kept getting in the way... :blush: So this week finally gives me an excuse to use this one up. Not sure I'll ever buy a bottle - I think I like Sailor Sei Boku better for a permanent blue - but we'll see.

Thanks. :) This is one of the Noodler's inks that I actually have a part bottle of. ;)

Week #31 "Be Done With It"

 

I must use this pen more and finish up this ink. On the other hand I quite like this one and I have no more. :(

Chrissy, congratulations on Ancient Artefact status :-)

 

An interesting ink - is it grey or green?

 

Thank you. :) It's green (well it was.) A rather nice dark green as I remember. On the other hand I have plenty of dark green inks. :D

I've finally finished a sample:

 

 

Given it was only a 1ml sample, I couldn't use a folded pen like I used to:

 

 

Nice. I like it. :)

The challenge this week is to "Be done with it!"
Veni, vidi, vici.

Edit: Yikes! Now that I've attached the image, the color is very different from the original scan. :huh:

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

This is the last of my Noodler's Navajo Turquoise sample... I picked up a bottle of Caran d'ACHE Hypnotic Turquoise at the Chicago Pen Show so I won't be getting a bottle of this - they are very similar. (The C d'A has a prettier bottle!)

The remains of this gifted sample of Noodler's Habanero (thank you) has sat in the drawer of shame for ages.

I've filled up my Red Noodler's Ahab with the last of it and am blown away by the line quality of the ink in this pen.

I don't ordinarily use such vivid inks. This has tickled my fancy right now. :)

I'm loving this project.

      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
