Transcribing the indecipherable scrawl:

 

@httpmom - hope you'll show us what that flexy Crusader nib can do sometime ...

@amberleadavis - closest nib I have to a French-fry stub ...

@#InkyFingers - I usually prefer mustard and mayo ...

(TWSBI Mini 1,5 italic ..... Diamine Night Sky)

 

Today I received the Diamine shimmering inks I´ve ordered.

First I tried the Night Sky and inked it up to a TWSBI Mini 1.5 italic and started writing and thought...... WOW...... exactly like in Attilas pictures.

But after only a few lines the pen stopped writing....... clogged......

Even to screw the piston a little bit down did not helped.

Ok, I thought Ok, I forgot this pen before and let ink dried inside, just cleaned it a couple of days before. So I might not cleaned it well enough (but I don´t think this is the case).

So i cleaned the nib again and tried to write...... ok now it wrote, but now the shimmering particles were almost gone. (see picture above).

At the end of the page there were no shimmering particles left.... completely without it.

And yes, I shook the ink well before I inked the pen up.

My observation is that the shimmering particles almost immediately sink down again in the bottle.

It seems that the ink cannot hold it in suspension even a short time.

 

The same can be observed within the pen (the Mini is a demonstrator).

 

So my first impression of the new Shimmering ink is quite bad.

First clogged pen, then no particles anymore.......

 

I keep testing.....

I didn't have clogging issues with my TWSBI or the Cerruti (Jinhao?)....I don't know...

As for the shimmer getting less during writing, I saw that too with every sparkle ink so far, including the J.Herbins. After you stop for a little, they normally appear again. Somehow they can't keep up with the flow of the ink. Also, the slower you write, the more likely they come out to play.

I feel the behavior has something to do with the weight of the particles.

 

As for sketching.....the Hulk needs to wait....

But here is this:
