I LOVE Solferino!

 

(I also need to try some of that Sailor Pink.)

[HalloweenHJB]

And finally got to look at letters from Halloween.

So, for everyone who writes to me and posts here, I will send back a little gift (TR paper or something different if you already have TR paper).

Fancy neighborhood! I love the sound of Titian Street!

 

LOVE, love, love that Fire Opal color. Will have to investigate where to find an ink so wonderful!

Not certain but think it is a Chesterfield ink.

[Newjelan]

Wow! What sheen 😎

 

I need to think about this one. BSB was the first ink that came to mind but as I've already used it in the entries for 2 other weeks, I've decided to choose something else. 🤔

[antichresis]

Oh, a class of inks that speaks to me, as well! Of all the inks I have, my current favorite retina-searer is Sailor IRORI.

 

 

 

On the front of the card, is Titian's "Portrait of a Man in a RED Cap" (1510) from the astounding Frick Collection in New York (I was there last week and saw it in person!). [i had to crop the photo due to the unpleasant glare on the shiny cardstock surface...]

 

[visvamitra]

Whoa AMber - what a combination

 

Great posts guys.

Sorry you could not see anything more of the Pearl. It is past 9 pm here, and the lighting is lousy.

Cornflower is a nice intense colour. It stains though.

As always, my color reproduction isn't quite right, it's brighter in person.

I can never remember whether it's spelt fuchsia, fuschia, fushcia, fuhscia, fucshia...

See? Bad word. Bad, bad word!

[grainweevil]

The plant was named after a fellow called Fuchs, which I find helpful to remember the spelling correctly.

...so I'm just showin' it off. Guess the pen!

[Inkvisible]

Lest we forget.

Retina searing? Listen. You can hear the sizzle.

I refused to use BSB for the 3rd time, so I played with a few inks. The second one is Private Reserve Chartreuse.
