Private Reserve Rose Rage and Sepia Introduction

Diamine Majestic Blue Ink Review

I have to premise this review by saying that I'm a huge fan of Diamine Majestic Blue!! I'm biased as I love this color, though it does have its quirks. It's an extremely saturated color, I mean extremely. It's a deep, dark blue with a unique red overtone to it.

Noodler's Beaver Ink Review

This is an overlooked ink, much like many of the standard Noodler's colors. The brand attracts a lot of attention with the really flashy and waterproof inks, but their standard line of colors are actually quite nice with really good shading. Beaver is a unique color that I think many of you might enjoy if you're looking for a dark brown with a slight red hint.

Private Reserve Orange Crush Ink Review

This is a very unique ink, and it performs really well. Though you probably will have to search to find a use for this type of color, it is a really fun one to use. Though the bottle isn't flashy, it's an affordable ink with qualities much like more expensive inks. I highly recommend it.

Noodler's Red Ink Review

Noodler's Red is another of the colors we chose for the October 2010 Ink Drop. It's a nice, bright red with solid performance and all around good characteristics.

Diamine Syrah Ink Review

Diamine just came out with several new colors not too long ago, one of which is Diamine Syrah. It's a truly wonderful color, one that's bound to be incredibly popular in the fountain pen world.

Pelikan Edelstein Onyx Ink Review

Pelikan has come out with a whole new line of inks called their 'Edelstein' collection. They are premium-priced boutique inks in fantastic packaging with an amazing looking bottle. Check out my thoughts on Onyx.

Moving Forward

The last Goulet pens have been sold, I am officially out of the wood pen turning business. It's hard to believe that this chapter in my life is really over. I've been packing my tools and cleaning up my shop for weeks, but now that the pens are gone, it's really hitting me that it's over.

Here they are, the colors for October's Ink Drop! The these is Autumn Leaves, to get that feeling of all of the changing red, orange, and brown leaf colors. After having very bright and vibrant colors in September's drop, we went for much more earthy, practical, and usable ink colors for October.
