Flushing day

When I clean my pens I often spend more time looking at the pretty patterns ink makes in water than actually flushing the pen.
For the record they are Noodler's Nightshade and Herbin's 1670.

I can't stop buying (or mixing) ink!

But I'll never finish the inks I've already got!

I got a new drawer unit from Ikea, it looks sturdy so I decided to move there my ink collection. I hope that having a limited space for storage will help me restrain myself from buying more bottles... who am I kidding?
(not pictured here the samples I got off friends *waving at O*)

Santa was late

But always welcome :)

A present for myself, even if I'm not always good.
Sailor summer ink Rikyu-Cha and a TWSBI Diamond 530 with XF nib.
Sorry for the blurry photo but I just got it and was in a rush to get to work, I couldn't wait to play with my new toys!

Goodness inside

Usually when people think about Nutella don't think about ink at all, but I'm weird so...



When a co-worker gave me a tiny 30g replica of the famous jar of sweet spread I had to know where I could get more, turns out sets of three mini jars are only sold during holidays so for Easter I hoarded some sets.



They are great for keeping ink! The lid screws tidily, thick food-grade plastic so there aren't many chances it might react with some ink, the jar is quite capacious, the plastic is clear so I can check for precipitations in mixtures, nearly perfect I'd say!

I don't really like sweet stuff that much, the things I do for the sake of pens...
