Ink Colours

Are often deceptively different in person than online.

The FPn's exclusive Galileo Ms. Brown is one of these colours that can be viewed as a chocolate brown or a very reddish brown depending on paper and pen.

Life is about discoveries

It's never possible to know what is up the road but I do believe I am nearly at the end of this pen-mania path.

I've almost finished photographing the pens I'd like to sell. After learning more about my own Canon camera at our local Photo Shop--really nice folks--I found that if I get shots on grey days they come out better on the indoor porch than on more sunny days.

One or two need a little clean up and I believe I have all the tools, liquids and cloths necessary to do them up proud. Several are inked and my inclination is to flush them and move on.

A few more days or a week at the most and they will all be archived.

I've also declared a moratorium on inks and withdrew from the FPn Ink Exchange. If I need any more look-see inks, it is easier to get The Pear Tree samples, a far more straight forward way to get small quantities of ink than fiddling with the plastic vials.

If I press forward I should be ready to list the fountain pens and art supplies on the 'bay on schedule.

The FPn administrator who carries the weight of invoicing and sending off inks hasn't been well, so, instead of asking on the board I sent her a PM.

Immediately thereafter I got an invoice and hope that these two inks come soon--both are beautiful colours for which I have samples.

PS - 9 September -- I received an email that the inks were shipped today!
