Well, I couldn't take it .... I had to peek

 

So, here is a single strange sample.

 

Way back when, I took a photo of the desk blotter. You can see it as image 97 (the trees from the blotter are shown above).

 

Here is a close up before the experiment started.

I used the Creative Memories cutting system and I cut nesting stars. The center was left in the dark.

 

Both parts together

The outer ring was placed in the office window. The orange is Akkerman and it faded a lot. The Skrip peacock blue also faded in the short two weeks. The Mont Blanc violet and Private Reserve Avocado are still hanging in. The Blue is probably Liberty Elysium.

HI THERE! Just wanted to pop by to say I'm real sorry I couldn't follow through with the experiment. I'm working for the media now, and I've spent much of my past few months being.... a paparazzi. And that leaves me little time for my pens and ink. Which is a pity. I've spent my time chasing criminals (pastor who siphoned off 20+ million for his wife's pop career in the US), political figures and victims of disasters.... forgive me!!

You are completely forgiven. And WOW we now know a paparazzi! Has the pastor been caught?

As you can see from above, we see fading already. I only pulled down the one item (I wasn't going to pull any down for three months, but the temptation got me). What do you think about the fading so far?

It is interesting. Seems like some of the inks are doing just fine. I will be interested to see how everything looks at the end of the experiment. Thanks for sharing!

This has to be the most beautiful UV degradation test I've ever seen! Very cool idea, and beautifully executed.

 

 

OOH, thank you. Wait until all the results are in!

And here is a scan of the same tree. This should show the differences between scans and photos.

After water wash. (Sorry that the photo is fuzzy. The scans will not be of the entire page, but will be clear).

 

All of these pens/inks are on my desk and have been in use the past two weeks.

Two months in to the fade experiment. The paper faded and the Akkerman Orange and Mont Blanc Violet did not hold up very well.
