Week #8 / 19 Feb: Iron-Gall Week - 2017 Weekly Ink Project

I found the box where I stored my first "real" camera at my mother-in-law's the other day

I'd saved £182 (oh yes) and remember BEGGING my parents to allow me buy it. Not used it for nearly 30 years, cranked it up and click. Mmmm.

Noivho, what is that beautiful ink with that lovely gold?

[evyxmsj]

And typically, I got an M nib and kinda wish I got a B! If you were local, I'd suggest a swap.

I thought it was red - but now I see it is brownish. It looks wonderful in your pen.

I don't blame you! :-)

.... I have no IG inks, so I'm waiting for another week to start up again. ...

 

 

This color reminds me of the sky when there's going to be lightning and thunder, but no rain - love that color (though my photo doesn't accurately reflect it).

Not IG after all Please disregard. If I get one before the year is out (maybe Salix, it kind of appeals to me), I'll post again.

But it is a pretty color. Enjoy in its own right... and there are some inks that are IG that the manufacturer does not advertise, for example the older formulation of MB Midnight Blue. (it is indicated somewhere on the packaging though).

Oh yes, I enjoyed it enough that I bought a bottle. I'm trying to catch up some with this weekly ink challenge, and had to put this one back on the shopping list (along with the shimmer / glitter ink week - I don't have any of those).

[mhguda]

I know what you mean - I dropped out of that one, too, not having any. And since this time of year is mostly characterized by dull colors - it being the dry season - I passed on that one, too.

And April Fool's week has me stumped... but I will think of something... eventually!

Ha! Me too. Still pondering "fun" - I may have to re-use my Blue Ghost, or mix it with another ink and see what that looks like...

[mhguda]

I actually found something...

Liz, that's my fault. I'm sorry. Send me a PM, I have some samples that might excite you.
