totally. under control.

i decided i needed a 'me' time break today.

so i went to the office, worked for 3 solid hours.

then i took the rest of the day off.

totally under control.

i went to cziplee (bangsar) to have a look see.

and ended up with this.

11 mini bottles of pilot iroshizuku inks, 

4 mini bottles of j.herbin la perle des encres inks,

1 bottle of j.herbin encre argent (silver ink),

1 bottle of sailor seasonal ink,

a box of dip pen nibs,

a dip pen holder and

a few rhodia pads.

yes. i am in control.

totally. under control.

you wouldn't want to see me when i'm not.

and the winner is ... blue

i feel like i needed more inks.

the excuse is inks are cheaper than fountain pens.

so if i get a bottle or two, it doesn't really cost that much.

of course, i lie to myself all the time.

anyway, going with the notion of getting more inks, i should get a colour i don't have yet.

so i went through my ink collection and started sorting out the ones i have.

i have 38 bottles of inks of various brands and shades.

blue - 11

red - 8 

black - 6

green - 5 

violet/purple - 2

orange - 2

brown - 3

invisible - 1 (yes, i have this too and it's super cool!)

what's coming:

diamine shimmering inks - blue lightning, shimmering sea (both shades of blue) & sparkling shadows (grey)

pelikan edelstein - sapphire blue (another blue!) and garnet (red)

it's pretty obvious what colour draws me like a moth to a flame...
