The chromatography is amazing, like the shiny colours on the beetle. But it's still a black... No fun in that...

Generally I hate black inks, since they are so boring. But I have to admit that this one has won me over.

Cor. You know I like my blacks.

 

How does it wash away ? Are those beautiful complex colours left behind?

[lgsoltek]

What?! Green sheen on a black ink!? Now I want that!

[amberleadavis]

Saskia, I was just fine until I saw that green sheen!

 

Thanks all!!!
