Thanks! That worked :-). I should now have a bottle on the way. Dog knows how long it will take to get here from Sweden, though. We'll see!

 

From the US to Sweden it takes about one 7-10 days depending on the shipping service selected. I guess the trip over the pond doesn't take long, it's the rest of the trip that can be a bit lengthy.

 

From Goulet's to my office it usually takes 7 days...

Has Macassar been mentioned yet?

This was with a Baoer 801 fine on BnR spiral. I also tried with my M150 fine and while the line was wetter and somewhat darker, the sheen was much harder to see.

 

Out of curiosity, how does one tell whether an ink has actual sheen or if it's just shiny/reflective from ingredients in the formula? As you can see, the 'shiny' is pretty uniform, rather than heavier on the end of strokes where the ink pools

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Wow, that is beautiful.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Sailor Clear Candy Pink cartridge, nice gold sheen even with the very fine MF nib.

Kuretake Zig Cartoonist Black, though not for fountain pens, seems to have a certain sheen to it too. Or is this a different effect?

I'm thoroughly loving browsing this thread. This beautiful inky concoction on TR caught my eye. Must have! (Thinking how lovely for Christmas cards and so much more!!) Would you mind sharing, please? For the gorgeous BSIAR + Rouge Hematite above, what was your ratio? TRULY GORGEOUS!!! Thank you for sharing your photo, and I hope you'll share the recipe.

Okay, here are my photos---Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses + J. Herbin's Rouge Hematite for green sheeny goodness. Makes me want to mix R.H. with everything now.

The funky thing is how the ink "changes color"---it still looks like BSIAR when wet, but dries to what you see in these photographs. Very cool!

Anyone else who gets a quite distinctive green halo with Iroshizuku Tsukushi?

 

I haven't been able to take a photo, the artificial light in my office combined with my iPhone... :wacko:
