In another batch, I added Blackstone Ink Gel #3 - OH MY - Miss both Blackstone and Ink Gel.

 

Glad to see that you got such inky amusement from the Ferris Wheel ink!  Very creative approaches to heal a sick little ink. (Joking here:  Like Amber, I am underwhelmed by light, unsaturated inks in general. But this one looked like the someone forgot to add the color...)  

 

And as for the bottles, they're a perfect example of form over function. Trendy and Stylish, yes, but oh so frustrating.

And I actually got to see the results of her experiment via Co-razy Views.... Very pretty (after the tinkering), very underwhelming prior..... 😃

 

I'll scan in the pages if I can get my scanner to work.....

And those bottles are only cute looking, you can't fit a pen inside the top.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

That has to be frustrating.

That's why I decant my Ferris Wheel inks into sample vials to fill pens.  A syringe or serological pipet works for converters.

I agree with Amber and HalloweenHJB.  Severely undersaturated inks leave me cold and very unimpressed unless they can be mixed with something else.

      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
