Congratulations, Vertolive!
Hi VertOlive,
Congratulations for winning the ink samples. Will you mind using one of them next time we correspond?
I would really like to see your selection.
Kind regards,
Rui

I would like letters too! Congratulations!
"What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.
I'm thinking, once they arrive, that I'll do a little "Postcard Mass Mailing" so I can share with as many pen pals as possible. I'll get a thread started once the inks arrive.
Wait. This may mean having 5 pens at the ready. Perhaps 5 new pens.....migo, what have you done!!!?

Ink samples posted off to VertOlive yesterday morning.

Remember to note - in an easily retrievable way! - what ink goes in what pen, and when. And maybe what you think of it on first use...
I hope you don't mind my saying this - it is from someone who tends to experiment with ink mixes AND ink samples, and recently I've been overwhelmed by the quantity of different inks in different pens... I tend to lose track, and keeping notes in an ink journal, even when I'm in too much of a hurry to do it consistently, does help me trace back what that wonderful color is that I'm now finding in my not quite favorite pen... you get the idea.

Thank you for the advice. I do keep an ink journal and will do my utmost to keep track of these as I go. Busily making and acquiring postcards to send across the globe with these inks!

Enjoy!

They're here! Each one a subtle surprise. There are already 6 "Japanese Falcon" postcards ready to send with writing samples of all 5 of these inks. I chose the cards to reflect the colors of the inks. If you'd like such a postcard, just send me a pm with your address.
I've posted a simple review of the samples over on the Ink Reviews thread here:

Again, many thanks going out to migo!

I'd like a postcard too. If things have worked out, you have my address, and also some pens to sample the ink with (although I don't know that you'd want to, seeing as they are eyedroppers. You could pour a whole sample in one barrel...).

15 letters out for the Monday mail--every one written with all five inks!
Still not tired of these colors!

Glad to see we got it all sorted out. Looking forward to your postcard with some interesting inks.
