Culling of the Inks Continues

Nearing the end of the Ink Saga.  I just have 9 or so left to do and I’ve swatched ALL the inks I currently have.  And I think I’ve passed 45+ inks on to Alfredo – good mix of samples and then smaller bottles from the Diamine Inkvent & Colorverse Colorvent 2024. 

Speaking of which, I think my 2025 Diamine Inkvent should be arriving soon.  And I’ve ordered the 2025 Colorverse Colorvent.  So yeah, something like 50 bottles of ink between them.

My LONG awaited pen from Just Turnings in Australia is finally stateside.  It’s currently in Chicago, so hopefully, I’ll have that pen by the end of the week.

Other than that, I’ve got shit else to talk about.  ::chuckles::

INK

Ink, ink, and guess what?  MORE ink.  ::laughs::

I have decided (in my infinite wisdom) that I need to do a proper ink compendium of all my inks, based off color families.  Which is a great idea, honestly.  Keeps me from buying similar colors and all that jazz.

But that means, I’m going through my ENTIRE ink collection.  We’re talking a good 175 or so inks.  And some inks?  They are a mixture of two color families, so they get swatched in both sections.  Some are purple and blue.  Some are pinks and browns.  Etc., etc., etc.

Which, in all honesty, is a good thing.  It’ll help me use up some of the samples that I have the TINIEST bit left.  Will also allow me to stop and evaluate every ink as I swatch it.  Do I wish to keep the ink? Does it just need to be rinsed out of the sample vial (if only the tiniest amount remains)?  Or is there enough of the ink, that I can pass it on to Alfredo.  Thus getting it out of MY collection, and dumping it on him.  ::laughs::
