It took a while to put together, but here's my post for #InkSwatchWednesday, coinciding with the 1st of the month, the typical time to update my batch of currently inked pens.
I almost forgot about #InkSwatchWednesday again. This time I'm highlighting Sailor Yurameku Date Gokoro because I recently inked a pen with it and had a breakthrough.
Robert Oster, like Diamine, have so many inks that a lot of them seem the same, but renamed. I watched this Yoseka Stationery video showing off a ton of ink swatches and there were many times I thought, “didn’t I just see this ink?” 🤔
My favorite part about #Spring arriving is that I can order liquids in glass jars like #fountainpen#inks without worrying about them freezing and shattering in transit or on my doorstep after delivery.
Hi, All. I have a blog that I've moved to the Ghost platform, and would love to see it grow there. I mainly post a picture a day, either one I took on the day, or a picture from my archives that I decide to post. I also talk about fountain pens, inks, and sometimes stationery, and tech and gadgets. If any of this interests you, please check out CJ's Wunderkammer (German term for "cabinet of wonders"):
Shameless blatant begging post : What fountain pen inks are you running with this month, and what has been your favorite this last month?
I am mildly irritated by the dryness of Diamine Registrar's, and Noodlers' Inks still somehow manage to beat my expectations (Twisbi Eco with Rome Burning, Pilot Metro with Antietam). #fountainpens#inks#notebooks
An hour ago we had an earthquake magnitude of about 5. I am happy to report that all of my #FountainPens and #inks survived! Yes, that was the first things I checked.
@backtoanalog glad to hear you’re safe, we just went through the quake here. I’m not home to check if my inks are safe unfortunately (: I expect to have to deal with a few broken glasses when I get back tomorrow
I watched a YT video from Chris Saenz where she mentioned a Platinum “Sugar Plum” ink. I didn’t think Platinum had inks named that, but I found this page which has a bunch of recipes for ink colors using their mixable inks, including a Sugar Plum. I may have to play around with this.
