Yeah, that one's on the owner - should have kept that kitten locked up!

Well. I don't remember the details, but it was a very gentle story. And with Cat's they have a way to get themselves in trouble, just to have their martini stirred not shaken

Thank you for leaping kitty picture!    (Smoke would be balanced on that TV trying to figure out how to leap onto the ceiling fan. )

I hope it's a phase Ours is more or less very well behaved. She never jumps where she shouldn't (everything is relative).

Shall we forgive Montblanc for discontinuing the wrong inks? 🤫    How painful would that be for them?

 

Thank you, @LizEF, for reviewing an ink I have in use since some years , for the family story and for forcing the deAtramentis ink to form micro-autumn-leafs! Well done! 👍

From the Deepwater Obsession series, I like Black Green (Schwarzgrün) and Black Red (Schwarzrot) the most. I would say those inks are the slightly more saturated versions of Robert Oster Mudpack inks. Diamine Green/Black is in the same category, maybe even a bit darker (secret hint: can be diluted with a bit water to make it more pale and increase shading).

 

And yes, most deAtramentis inks are of low or very low surface tension, resulting in increased line width, decreased shading and fuzziness on below average quality paper. On the positive side, those inks make the driest of nibs useable.  

 

Thank you for transforming my bad Wednesday start into a good morning session!

Looking forward to next week's review!

Tell me about it!   I think they're just too smart and curious for their humans.

That's Klaw.  He's a very polite gentleman.

  I fear they wouldn't even notice.

The gentleman and rogue (rebel). One is Lawrence Olivier the other is James Dean or Brando
