    Default My inks

    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.

    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. . . .

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

    Great looking collection of inks. One can never have enough color is one's life.

    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.

    Wow - respect dude!

    I just bought another 6 giving a total of 21. Glad to see there is always room to acquire more inks.

    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.

    That's more ink than I've ever seen in any one place :P I only have 14 inks and I'm trying to cut that down to just 10.
