Week #7 / 12 Feb: Week Of Love - 2017 Weekly Ink Project

Recommended Posts

Happy Valentine's Day! Choose an ink you’ll use to write love letters.

 

As usual, don't forget to share with us your choice of ink, your writing, drawing, doodling or anything with the ink in this thread. You can take a photo, make a scan, or even better, write letters and CRV reviews (what is a CRV?) and mail them to the many ink pals here. You are welcome to check back on this thread even when we've gone past this week.

Click here to read more about this community project. Links to the two previous links can be found there too.

Next week is gonna be Iron-gall Week.

Well, LG, I have read this and written the love letters.

 

I used

  1. Diamine Red Lustre
  2. DiaminePoppy Red
  3. Private Reserve Sherwood Green
  4. De Atramentis Karmesin
  5. De Atramentis Brilliant Violet with Bronze
  6. Monteverde Canyon Rust
  7. Montblanc Royal Blue
  8. Super 5 (Rohrer & Klingner) Dublin

Pictures will follow.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

My romantic spirit has taken a bit of a beating this last year, so no love letters from me. This is my slightly flippant entry. My love of ink endures.

Amber, you know me well! I love the fact that you chose a vibrant red to write to me.

 

For me as well, as long as I love a colour, i can use it to write love letter. One of my recent purchases is a very pretty luscious colour. I post something with it soon.

Dear Liz, I'm sorry you're feeling the blues, but glad you are feeling inky.

 

LG, I loved toucan for mixing but found it too dry and undersaturated in my initial tests. You, as always, make it look amazing.

 

KWZI Berry is yummy.

The love letter mentioned above was written on two pages of 20lb 92 brightness legal sized paper that we purchased for I remember not what reason, and for which I have nigh unto no use. I wrote another love letter to my wife on this same laid paper for St. Valentine's day, with the latest purple mix, in the same Prera with CM nib. While the edges of the lines were textured, there was nigh unto no feathering.
