My order from Goulet Pens arrived and I proceeded to set up my working stock of inks. This way, I could tuck away all the bottles I have (my desk was running out of space). Plus, they're safer from the cats this way. And, less risk of contaminating the bottles when I refill my pens.
While I wish I could say the entire rack is full of a working stock of ink, there's only 21 working tubes. Ha. "Only" 21. As though that's a small number. My current inks are as follows:
Noodler's - Baystate Blue (courtesy of Shangching!)
Pelikan Edelstein - Mandarin (courtesy of Shangching!)
Rohrer & Klingner - Eisen-Gallus-Tinte Scabiosa (courtesy of Shangching!)
Chesterfield Ink - Rose (repackaged Diamine Scarlet)
Chesterfield Ink - Turquoise (repackaged Diamine Havasu Turquoise)
Chesterfield Ink - Siam (repackaged Diamine Monaco Red)
Chesterfield Ink - Mahogany (repackaged Diamine Saddle Brown)
I'm a little embarrassed by this, given how spoiled I obviously am and how so many people and critters are suffering in the world while I flounce around playing with pens and inks.
Have you tried the Rouge Hematite 1670 yet? I got a sample way back when, and I was thinking of trying it again.
ReplyDeleteI have! I've got a review of it ready to go for next week! I think it's pretty but I worry about the ink drying in my pen and leaving residue.
ReplyDeleteThea above picture just magnifies how unkempt my writing is. *sigh* I need a penmanship class.
