I laid out my inks on my desk to take photos for a couple of fellow FP bloggers. I thought I would share. :)

3 different angles - 163 inks...

Absolutely wonderful.
You've achieved FPG nirvana after a long process of committed application to the path of inkification.

You can never have too much ink but I think you are very near the event horizon.

Thanks for posting your collection.

In a word: WOW!!!!!!! (and look at all those Iroshizuki inks...) Which Noodlers "flavors" do you have?

Holy crap - oops, can I say that here??? ;)That is more ink than Bertram's had on display!!! I am speechless, makes me want to throw a hand towel over my 6 bottles and casually whistle a little tune. . . . :eek:

Yes not even a fountain pen - just a Waterman Preface Roller Ball I got in a set while chasing the FP.

Oh my nirvana. We need to head to your house to do ink sampling I guess. *daydreams*

Do you have more of one colour family than another, just wondering. I can see why you need to track which pen/ink combo to try next, its all starting to make sense.

To be honest I have never arranged them by colour. I would think shades of blue would win though.

Noodler's inks for me is as much about their label art than the inks inside. I have been tempted to order a large bottle of Noodler's just so I have the label art in a large size. I wish Noodler's would sell them labels as prints I would love to have some of 3 side wrap ones as wall art.

I would find it hard to choose which print I would want. I adore the labels

Recently received a 4.5 oz Heart of Darkness (and free pen, with an extra, non-fountain pen point) and the label goes all the way around the tall, round bottle. Looks like a forest at Halloween. It's even in French: Au Coeur des Tenèbres. Named after the novel, I imagine.

Anyway, I got a nice wine box at a thrift shop today, it fits perfectly for my ink thingies. ;)

If rolling around in your inks wouldn't break all your bottles and ruin them, I'd do it. I totally would.

I have a little over 20 inks including samples. but I will cut it down to 2 (maybe 4) and samples come September, because I don't htink it's sensible to cross the Atlantic with glass ink bottles in my suitcase. That's what the Diamine plastic bottles are for.

Let's see:

Noodler's: Apache Sunset
Bad Belted Kingfisher

Waterman: Serenity Blue
Havana

R&K: Scabiosa

Pelikan Edelstein: Aventurine

J. Herbin: Vert Réséda

Diamine: Havasu Turquoise
Claret
Red Dragon
ASA Blue
Ochre
Eau de Nil
Merlot

Goulet Ink Drop: Staff Favorites Sept 2012 Although my El Lawrence and Liberty's Elysium are long gone :(
Cryptid inks Oct 2012
Autumn Leaves Nov 2012

I am utterly speechless...YIKES that is AWESOME!!! I'm VERY new to FP and inks (I have 3 bottles - Noodler's Borealis Black, Noodler's Black, and Noodler's 54th Mass - and about a dozen or so samples) and can only DREAM of having this amount of variety and selection. AMAZING! I'm literally drooling! So looking forward to growing my collection. Putting in an order soon at Goulet's for 4 or 5 more bottles. Let the ink gathering begin :)

If I assembled all my inks in one place, I might rival you. Might. Maybe. All Noodler's, though.

You are my ink hero.
