As I mentioned, I received the April Ink Drop package yesterday. I also said that it was very surprising. This is because although I have it right in front of me, I can not tell you what the inks are. Brian and Rachel Goulet came up with a fun idea for Easter. Each sample bottle is labeled with “Easter Egg and a number from 1 to 5. The idea is that we are suppose to try out each sample and guess which color it is. We can then enter our guess on InkNouveau.com for a chance to win a bottle of ink. We will have to check out InkNouveau for all the details.
About half way through the month the correct ink matches will be revealed and at that time the discount prices for Ink Drop members will go into effect. I will say that the colors look very Easter Egg-ish. Here is a picture of what I got. I had a bit of spillage from Easter Egg #5 which got on some of the labels. If you zoom in on the card that came with the Ink Drop you can read pretty much what I just wrote here.
If you are not a member just head on over to http://www.gouletpens.com/ and click on the Ink Drop link on their page. It is only 10 bucks a month. As I've said before, the Ink Drop samples are about the only inks I need for a month. It is a cheap way to get a fantastic variety inks to try.
Both of my Pilot Vanishing Points are still full of March Ink Drop colors so it will be a while before I can post a test maze for April. The prime directive states that a pen much be run dry with actual productive use. I violate that prime directive a lot less than Captain Kirk violated his prime directive.
Until next time!
