Ordered some notebooks from Stilo & Stile and needed to add some items to get free shipment.

Added a Sailor x Bungubox Umi-iro Ruri Sea. A really lovely deep blue ink with nice burgundy sheen.

Nice color, but what really stands out is your lettering!  It almost looks like you used a stencil, an art lost when draftsmen started using CAD systems.

Please consider showing vintage ink in the vintage ink thread. (Which I just revisited and noticed that I promised to show some inks but evidently forgot to do so. 😅) 

 

 

 

 

I recognize that photo.  The shelf hasn't changed much.

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

 That’s a gorgeous color.

+1 on that.  The base color is reminding me of MB Leo Tolstoy....

Unfortunately I can't take any credit for that lettering. 🙃
It's a picture from Bungubox's website.

It's quite close to Leo Tolstoy, but Umi-iro is a bit bluer, and not as grey. Also, I have the experience that Leo Tolstoy changes colour in the pen (no matter which pen) and turns to a dark blue with quite strong red sheen after a week or two.

That photo was automagically picked by the forum software. It must like you.

These five!

I ordered them from Flensburg in the North of Germany

early last week. They were promptly shipped,

but German Mail sent them on a sightseeing trip to the South

of Germany instead of letting them hop over the border to

Denmark and then on to Sweden. Grrrrr. Can you imaging an

"express parcel" needing 10 days for this distance?

 

Ah well. At least i have received them!

 

Have fun!

I'm not familiar with the first one, "Calligraphy passion [   ]".  Is that a German exclusive?  And what color is the ink?  (I've seen images online of the other four....)

I was enabled 

and I worried it might be lonely travelling by itself, so a bottle of Moby Dick and one of Zemyna came along for the ride.

 

So much for my self-imposed ink buying ban...

I finally ordered a bottle of KTC from Dromgoole's (nearly local), threw in a bottle of Noodler's Grinch Garnet to make the free shipping. KTC was planned, Grinch Garnet was spontaneous.

 

The package with my impulse-buy sparkly Diamine inks coming from Goldspot is stalled in Mobile Alabama for some reason. 

 

ETA because Murphy has a sense of humor, the Goldspot package is suddenly at my local USPS package sorting facility. I guess an expeditor in Mobile missed scanning the container when the trailer was loading. Even though I work for USPS I have to wait like everybody else 🧑‍🎄

Hi @inkstainedruth,

Yes, it is a German exclusive (which is why I ordered it). Looks like this:

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/346046-diamine-calligraphy-passion/

Okay, thanks.  A little TOO yellow for my tastes, so I can pass (I tried Diamine Kelly Green early on, and it wasn't to my taste either...)

Oh man.... Hadn't heard about Grinch Garnet before now.  That looks quite nice.  Unfortunately it ALSO looks to be sold out.... :wallbash:

Pen Boutique shows it in stock. 
 

I didn’t need to order more ink. But it’s garnet ink, and that was my Dad’s birthstone. I also got a GvFC pen on closeout, and a Rhodia pad. These will be my reward for getting up for 7:25am plumber appointments two days in a row.

It's a nice dark pink, not what I'd call a Christmas color. I missed last year's Grinch Green.

Hmm, if I’d waited one day, and seen your post, I might would have passed on the Noodler’s.  I have a similar ink or two to that. J Herbin Rouge Opera and De Atramentis Mark Twain or Kermesin red are likely similar. Impulsive is not always good.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
