Today -- a beautiful turquoise ink from Lamy. One of my new favorites. Makes me think of sun, sand, and the beach. Mind you, I don't actually LIKE sun, sand, and the beach very much -- I just want to think about them. And write with this ink!

The Week of Ink, Day 2: Lamy Turquoise
It struck me yesterday that I have been thinking about this week in my head as "Ink Week," which puts me in mind of "Shark Week." Then I got to thinking -- there ought to be a cable channel just for pen and ink enthusiasts (why not? There's certainly a channel out there for EVERYBODY ELSE ON THE PLANET), and then we could have "Ink Week" and nobody would laugh at us. Much.

LOL. Randall, it does remind one of turquoise skies, water, blue striped beach blankets, blue coconut popsicles . . . And I love those things like sun, surf, sand, popsicles, and letters written with turquoise colored ink.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! You're just liable to get a letter with this great ink!
DeleteOh, and I just got THE MOST INCREDIBLE IDEA for the book, which I received yesterday, thank you very much!
I love turquoise ink and I am adding this one to my wish list at Gourmet Pens right now.It's beautiful, it reminds me of the Carribean Sea - at lease what I've seen in photos.
ReplyDeleteFYI - I'd love a letter with this ink!
Oh, let me tell you the photo does NOT do this ink any kind of justice. I was really surprised by how much I liked it. There may be better turquoises out there, but for my timid tastes, this one is pretty awesome!
DeleteLetter request duly noted... :-)
