This is mix of Robert Osters heart of gold and noodlers polar blue. The result is a seaweedy/ forest green with gold shimmer and its very fast drying and water resistant. Bear in mind Im using a fairly absorbent paper because its what I have.

Goldberry... like the Tolkien character?!? That is the PERFECT name for this.

 

This is a great shade of green. I love it.

Yep! She is my absolute favorite Tolkien character. When I make the ink test pages (lol, not sure what to call those yet) I like to write a quote that the ink reminds me of. I knew she was the perfect muse.

 

Thank you! I was going for more of a forest green but its growing on me for sure. I love the gold shimmer in it. Ill have to post an updated pic when I get my tomoe paper in.

Love that color green, and the gold shimmer is a real bonus, too. Does the gold smear after the ink had dried?

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

On my screen the green is dark (with a hint of forest green for sure), but there's a bit of an olive hue to it, which is what I tend to like. It gives it some subtlety and some character. "Seaweedy" is an apt description. Even without the gold shading (what a great ink for xmas cards!) it's a great colour.

 

I think you are the first person I've ever encountered who lists Goldberry as her favourite character! I think most people tend to shy away from that portion of the book, and she tends to disappear as a result. This colour is a perfect homage.

Now isn't that a pretty ink! Great looking mix you've made. 

Get a yellow shimmer going and you can have a Bombadil as well.

      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
