Just between me and you, I know of one FPN member who succumbed to desire last week and ordered a Pilot 912 with PO nib after seeing the Strelitzia sketch in Jane's blog. I plead guilty for sending him the link to Jane's site and pics of my PO nib

Thanks for the link - very nice work. I am rather impulsive, but it'd take a bit more for me to order a pen just from looking at pictures. Perhaps something like a claim of artistic ability when one holds the pen. I'm not quite sure even Pilot is there yet, though.

Ha, not me!

An atilla84 sketch, a napalm pic and a link to this gorgeous site and I was sold.

Oh, Brad Dowdy had a lot to do with it too.

 

As for artistic ability, sketching and writing with the 912 PO nib makes you think you're Da Vinnci . . .

In my first fade tests, I did water tests in the center. I discovered that ink that was exposed to water faded faster than the ink that was just exposed to light.

That is depressing. No lightfastnes at all... Edited November 7, 2014 by Tanzanite

Nice!

Thanks! Love all of those rusty brown tones.

Looks to me like an Ultramarine Blue - Burnt Sienna - Venetian Red combo but after checking Jane's palette it might be "Jane's gray" instead of Ultramarine and some "Lunar Black" added there for granulation.

 

Hi Jane, we're color junkies here too Welcome to FPN!!!

I love colour junkies :-) There are a couple of wonderful pigments for rust effects that I use a lot. One is a PR101 Transparent Red Oxide (Daniel Smith watercolour) - a granulating burnt orange. That sketch has a lot of Burnt Umber and yes, Jane's Grey. I want to find that in a waterproof fountain pen ink...but may have to make my own as I do in watercolour.

I got this bottle of ink free of charge when I ordered 2 bottles of Organics Studio inks. I'm not usually a fan of bright green, but this ink is captivating, like an emerald. Also, it has an interesting fragrance! It smells like the soap aisle at a grocery store

I adore the texture you're getting on the bottom of this. A really nice buildup of washes.
