A Grail Achieved - The Around the World 811

A Grail Achieved - The Around the World 811

So far I only have this one wide shot, but hoping to dive back in for more detailed pics in the future.

This pen drives me crazy it's so pretty. I'm just floored. It weighs a metric f*ck-ton, just the way I like 'em.

Anyway, I haven't inked it yet, but I'm thinking something in the red family. Maybe Modena. Hmm.

[WTB] Boutique Shop Ink Samples

I'm looking for any unusual or local-only/shop-only/show-only ink samples from lesser-known places. Not necessarily the big names. Ideally, inks from companies without a lot of name recognition.

4-5ml samples, ideally. Thanks!

Are you an inky power user?

I'd love to learn how you use ink--be it journaling, drawing, or mouthwash*--and to see some examples. I know I can search the sub, but I thought it'd be fun to see how it's going today, not four months or four years ago. Anyone willing to share some current inky pics?

[*Don't use ink as a mouthwash.]

The requisite ink-related limerick tax follows:

There once was a boy who loved ink.

He had Wearingeul, Writer's Blood, Quink.

He bought them on credit

then took them to Reddit

to meet others who shared his kink.

Hustling to Swatch

I was deep in swatchville recently when I came across a familiar ink.

My first thought was, "Familiar ink, my *ss!"

Ink Storage and the "Wall-o-Ink"

I've posted versions of this in comments on various threads, but I thought I'd make an actual post to show how I'm storing inks.

I repurposed a bunch of toolboxes that are the right size for both bottles and 5 mL sample tubes. The beauty for me is that the cases lock together, they have handles for easy gripping, and they're spill-proof. They're not secured to the shelves, which is a problem I'm still considering, but are otherwise ideal. This method definitely isn't as pretty as a lot of the posts I see in this sub, but it all works fairly well, at least until I come up with something better.

Oh, and the binders at the top are the current iteration of my color-coded swatch card sleeves. They're just trading card binders. The colors are black, gray, white (waterproof/water-resistant), brown, orange, yellow, yellow-green, green, teal, blue, purple, pink, red, and maroon. That's how I sort the inks on the computer, too.

Why so many? I'm building a little website. I'll make a separate post about that (pending mod approval) as I get closer to the release date.
