Day 99 of #The100DayProject #PastInktober I'm so glad I managed yesterday and today's drawing. Can look back on two wonderful DPS (Dutch Pen Show) days. Getting to know more and more people and talking about a shared passion (fountain pens and everything around that hobby, ink and papers etc) is such a joy. The prompt is #camping and one of the happy memories is the bunting the kids and I made for our daughter's birthday #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #undatedA5 #InkyParker51

Sketch in sketchbook of a tent pole with towels hanging from the strands amidst some greenery. From the pole is also a selfmade bunting.

All pens I will bring on my 2 week travel.

TWSBI Diamond 580 iris filled with Yama Budo.
TWSBI Eco with Chiku Rin
Kaweco Sport with the unnamed blue ink.
Jinhao 82 with Sailor Manyo Ume.
Lamy Studio with Kon Peki.

This should tie me over for 2 weeks, never mind that the 2 TWSBI’s alone are months of writing to empty for me 😂

A pen sleeve with 5 pens and a page from my Hobonichi weeks with ink samples. I have a aubergine colored ink, a grey-blue, a dark red and a very bright blue ink.

Just a quick little test and so far, so good. Very bright and seems to be "true" red. Not too dark or too pink when dried. Neither are bad just not what I'm after sometimes.

There seems to be a bit of gold sheen, too, which I didn't expect (but should have, seems like almost all reds have gold sheen)

Writing sample below is on Iroful (top, first) and Midori MD (bottom, second)

(1/2)

Photo of two writing samples and a fountain pen containing red ink. Taken from the top-down. Both samples say "Diamine Forever Cherry Red" followed by three "X"s and three curlicues. The ink is a bold red.

Microscope photo of ink on Iroful paper. The ink is bright red. In places with less ink it appears slightly pinkish. In places with more ink it's darker and the edge of those boundaries is darker still. Some flecks of gold are visible in the dark areas.

JetPens order with the Diamine Forever inks arrived in record time! I'm going to try Cherry Red first and oh no, how did that TWSBI get in there? I swear these things just keep multiplying completely on their own.

(Really I needed something I could trust with pigment inks and no other pens I trust were nearly empty or had ink I didn't want in them.)

Photo of three fountain pen ink bottles in front of their open boxes. They are all "Diamine Forever" inks. From left to right they are: Skyline, a light blue. Cherry Red, a bright bold red. Butterscotch, a medium brown. In front of the bottles lies a TWSBI Diamond 580 fountain pen with clear plastic body, cap, and no colored accents. The clip and ring are silver.
