I have been a FP user all my life (I am 50ish) but it only really became a hobby a couple of years ago so up until that point it was cheap FP's and Parker Quink in blue and black. I tend to take quite a lot of notes at work and also I sign a lot of documents.
I got more into inks last year (discovered the Diamine website tbh) and bought a bunch of interesting crimsons, purples, greens, browns and maybe got a bit carried away. I have had a lot of fun using them and my notebooks are a rainbow of colours from page to page and I keep a lot of pens inked, can't help myself.
With the benefit of hindsight, though, I maybe went a bit too far (hehe) and I signed a bunch of invoices and offical documents in Sherwood green and a very bright Diamine Purple (obviously not two colours on one page), I got a slightly sarcastic comment from one of the guys in the accounts department.
<slapped wrist> I need to calm it down ......
I AM fairly senior at work (ego alert!) so pretty much I can get away with it but I have toned it down a bit, literally! I should be a bit more professional as I am not a 12 year old girl (no offence to any 12 year old girls reading). It's just a bit of fun, sorry if I coming across as a bit of a nutjob .....
Long preamble over I was wondering what people would recommend for work which is conservative enough to get away with, but rebellious enough to satisfy my inner subversive.
Example:
Instead of using blue and black I am currently using Diamine Graphite and Diamine Blueberry. In both cases in the right light they are not *quite* black or blue <cue little smile>
Both are interesting and beautiful, by the way, and I would recommend.
Surely I am not the only ink subversive or pigment revolutionary at work?
End of blurb!
