    Default Inks on your to-buy list

    Inks crossed off the list.
    x - Noodler's Gruene Cactus Eel (thanks Etoyoc)
    x - Noodler's Dragon's Napalm - cause I like the name.
    x - Noodler's Squeteque a mysterious and strange colour like Catalpa
    x - Pelikan Edelstein Tanzanite - I like the blue/black/greyishness of it
    x - Noodler's Lexington Grey (thanks JustDaveyB)
    x -Cactus Fruit Eel
    x - Pilot Iroshizuku In-ho RiceEar
    x - Pilot Iroshizuku Chiku-rin Bamboo Forest
    x -Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-gaki - Winter Persimmon - will definitely buy this if I win the lottery or Lotto.-
    to celebrate the Royal Red Studio
    x - Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun - Old Man Winter - bluish grey
    x - Caran d'Ache Caribbean Sea
    x - Noodler's Upper Ganges Blue (thought I'd finally get this bases on seeing JustDaveyB's sample)
    x - Noodler's Burma Road Brown - dam those Goulet samples
    x - Noodler's #41 Brown - a fascinating brown colour similar to fairly new engine oil
    x - Noodler's 54thMassachusetts - looks like a good colour for MrsBogon's workbook.

    A list of my next "to get inks" in the hope of curbing impulse buys:
    Noodler's Mandalay Maroon - dam those Goulet samples
    Pelikan Edelstein Jade
    Diamine Macassar
    Atlantic Salmon
    Georgia Peach

    My next order list currently contains these:

    Private Reserve Sepia
    Noodler's Blue Nose Bear (3oz)
    Noodler's Bad Black Moccasin (3oz)
    Noodler's Bad Green Gator (3oz)
    Montblanc Toffee Brown (60ml)
    Montblanc Oyster Grey (60ml)
    J. Herbin Cacao du Bresil (30ml)
    Noodler's Rome is Burning (3oz)

    I have 108 inks now and seems like my collecting addiction has morphed into collecting Noodler's inks as much for the label art as the ink.

    I'm feeling the same but with only 16 (13 Noodler's) compared to your magnificent obsession.

    I LOVE that ink.

    Having recently discovered xfountainpens I want to try all their Chesterfield inks. I already have Mahogany, Obsidian, Siam, Fire Opal, Teal, Smoky Topaz Nd Sodalite. Most are sample sizes. They are so nice I definitely want to add Erinite and Capri and anything else I can.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!


    And my latest ebook, for spooky wintery reading:

    I just took one off of my "to buy" list a couple of hours ago and just ordered Diamine Eau de Nil.

    I don't have any inks on a wait list as in the last month I was on a buying spree that included inks and pens, and right now I am just fed up with buying! I am up to about 90 Bottles of ink, along with approx. 85 ink samples that are between 2mL and 5mL.

    The good and bad thing about FP forums is that you hear how many inks your fellow enthusiasts have and then your self imposed limits start to appear very conservative !


    How would you store 50+ ink bottles ?
    Do you:
    put them all in a big box or trunk
    put them in separate boxes according to colour or brand
    put them all on a self in your stationary cupboard
    stick them all in a drawer.

    At the moment my 15 ink bottles are just sitting on a shelf in the wall unit (it is like a deep bookcase with a cupboard on the bottom).
    I'm intending to get a box to put them in some time in the near future.

    Mine are stored in the pigeon holes of a big rolltop desk...however, soon I'll have to clear out the stationery in last two compartments to add to the rolling wave of inks that have sprouted like mushrooms! (Is there a mushroom-shade ink, by the way? Arggh)

    Speaking of desks.... I would love to have a big rolltop desk! You are very lucky. Is there another thread here for writing surfaces?

    The first ink off my list is:
    Noodler's Dragon's Napalm which I picked up from Pen-Ultimate today, still no Tanzanite yet.

    Just dipped a tissue into it and then rubbed it across some paper. I have to say that the on-line swabs and reviews don't capture how radioactively glow-in-the-dark intense this colour is !!!


    It is as dangerous as the skin colour of those unfortunates who turn themselves into human lobsters on a Sydney beach in summer.

    I want some of that just for the name alone. I can see it now, my colleagues would ask "what is that you are writing with" and I would announce "Dragons Napalm" and they would run away with a whole new respect for me.

    The names are part of the Noodler's alure. Dark Matter is another great name ink along with Heart of Darkness.

    Dark Matter has a great name and a great label, but it is also a great ink! It is one of the few black inks I use regularly.

    Noodler's Walnut is a pretty good dark brown in my opinion
