October is breast cancer awareness month. In France they call it "octobre rose" (pink october). So this week let's pick a pink ink (alliteration and rhyming intended) . If you don't have a pink, maybe something red, magenta, purple?

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: Lights of Diwali

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

Yep, somehow #41 is the neglected child...

 

What a shame. People are missing out on an incredible pair of shoes.

 

Thank you white_lotus.

Wow. How did I miss that ink before now (I've loved most of the D'A inks I've tried except for the Document line). And normally I don't go all "matchy-matchy" with pen and ink colors but that worked well. And makes me want one of those M600s even more -- not that they're *remotely* affordable at this point....

I'm so far behind on this project. I really meant to do one for last week but I've got to find the ink that matches the garment really closely....

It's a repeat ink for me, but cleverly enough, it's another De Atramentis - we have a series going. :D The pen was a gift from a friend (I infected her, she tried out the Nemosine, but didn't like it, so she shipped it to me :) ).

I didn't know you liked these kinds of soft pinks, Ruth!

Guess I blew a fuse...

These are all my pinks, on Tomoe River paper. It's the 2nd colour I have the most of, the 1st being blue-greens/ teals.

The first one I bought was Iroshizuku Yama BUdo and the latest is Graf Von Faber Eectric pink - which i LOVE

 

Bonus for sheen lovers:

I have a pen inked with Yama Budo, which I unfortunately don't use very often. So the ink has been there for a while and it now writes a lot darker and with a lot more sheen than YB dipped fresh from the bottle - it doesn't even look like the same ink..

I'm constantly surprised by what it turns out I like and don't like. I do actually have and like some pinks -- although one I thought I *would* like, J Herbin Rose Tendresse, turned out to have just enough of a lavender undertone that it was somehow sort of grating on my senses. Which was weird because I like a lot of purples, and lavenders that are dark enough to be legible.

The two that freaked me out the most by liking? J Herbin 1670 Rouge Hematite (the original formula with the big flakes of gold) and Noodler's El Lawrence. And normally I can't stand blood reds, or pretty much *anything* "murky" that might have a green component to it....

But yeah, I like pink sometimes (the first pink ink I bought was fairly early on -- Noodler's Shah Rose.

      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
