I LOVE this almost muted autumnal color scheme.

I think only the Scabiosa and Salix are iron gall from Rohrer & Klingner as far as the coloured inks. I used Scabiosa for over a year in my Moonman Wancai and had no problems. I probably would not risk it in a gold nib. It didn't stain the clear acrylic, but that pen is polished on the inside. The colour of the ink changed over time, which was fascinating.

I have an iron gall ink in my Leonardo with a titanium nib, I wonder if that is safe

@cerealnana 26 күн бұрын

@@Desert_Inkwell I think it is fine in titanium nib. I would just clean the pen and nib after a month or so to be on the safe side because of the sediment. Also supposed to use vinegar and not ammonia? Double-check that last bit.

Oh good that I found your comment, I like that color so much but am afraid of using iron gall ink. Did you use your pen daily when it was inked? I have some that get less love and are used perhaps every 7 days...

Very pretty colors! This Kobe #23 and Colorverse-red-ish are my favs, must write them down. Don't come for me- I'm the only one who isn't a fan of Solferino 😂 We had at school these fine colorful marker/pens (Stabilo , only the fine ones back then) in every color and the most-used one from all was a color similar to Solferino.

Good choice!

I do it by brand also and then in color order within each brand.

I'm not really referencing my rolodex at all - not sure if that is just temporary ... but when I do I find all the things so much easier.

Sailor Tea Time Moroccan Mint Tea reminds me of Platinum Citrus Black. This is a Irongall ink from Platinum, pretty dry and also looking like dirt. I first couldn‘t decide if I love or hate it. It's such an odd color.

@seemownay 15 күн бұрын

Yes, but just in the beginning. Citrus Black will become legible whereas this one stays light.

I have heard iron gall inks can destroy parts of your pen, but I don’t know that for a fact. I don’t know that I would want to take a chance though! I love your videos and I’m so excited when I see one post 😊

@seemownay 15 күн бұрын

I have heard that too. But in a recent "overlooked brands" video Drew talked about Rohrer & Klingner irongall and that they have nothing in common with old formulas. (Not sure if that would hold up in science). However, Scabiosa is not an irongall ink.

When I looked it up, Solferino means "Moderate purplish red". Lol you cracked me up when you do something backwards.

I still have not mastered my kakimori nib. I’m bad with ink, if I like the color I buy a bottle and then if I don’t like it I wait a few months to see if my opinion changes or if a pen comes along that is a match. If not, then I sell it off or give it away. I appreciate your more disciplined approach. Except sheening inks that take ages to clean like organic studios. I usually get mad at those and throw them out.

@rgcainmd 25 күн бұрын

My Kakimori nib seemed to behave better the longer I used it, as if it had a break-in period.

@seemownay 24 күн бұрын

Hahaha. I'm only disciplined in theory.

@seemownay 24 күн бұрын

I had a similar experience - not sure if it actually needed that break-in period or if I just adjusted and learned how to use it.
