Week #21 / 21 May: Last But Not Least - 2017 Weekly Ink Project

[lgsoltek]

This week, sort the names of your inks alphabetically and use the last one.

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.

Nearly last but not least: R&K Verdigris

 

 

 

 

 

I've written that it is not a sheeny ink, or a shady one. But on the TR paper, when a thick line goes down, it does sheen. And on the Rhodia, there is a hint of shading (but really not a lot).

Oh, a different take on "last" - love it.

My choice is the ultimate ink in my collection:

 

 

Here is a view of the place that inspired the color, the Zuiderpark in The Hague:

Ah, a Z! I could have beaten yours with Standardgraph Zuppressengrün if I had it with me! Now I have to settle for a W.

Ahh, Ian, I sympathise. Diamine Teal is like a Grapefruit to me. I go for months, sometimes years without. Then when I try it, I like it but soon go off it.

 

 

Here's my "Last but not least" Noodler's Zhivago.

I love using this stealthy green black . . . so long as no water goes near it. Eww too sharp a wash colour (see tip of the train's funnel)

Excellent submissions, Ian and Tas. By coincidence, a bottle of Teal landed on my doorstep this morning. I hope I like at least as much as you do, Ian.

[juulz]

Mine is also Zhivago, but I couldn't show it off near as well as you did Tas! I will defer to your submission this week!

 

(I bought the bottle on your Faux DeFoe mix suggestion of it in equal parts with Helianthus - I still use the mix daily and I love the way it looks!)

This isn't a competition This is sharing at it's very best. Loads of inks for all to see, in whatever guise they take

 

Go on, I would love to see more Zhivago

 

. . . . Delighted to find out Faux Defoe was a success for you Yay!

[lgsoltek]

I cheated a little by counting bottles only. I'm really not a fan of Stipula Zafferano (so dry) or Callifolio Yalumba (no lubrication).

 

 

[juulz]

Okie Tas... I used the Faux DeFoe to make Zhivago a bit more exciting!

Re-e-eally wish this one were still available 😩

Kon Peki is the closest I've found, and even it is dull by comparison!

Love, love, love this! Partly because it reminds me of riding the train to New Orleans to visit my grandparents when I was little, and trains still looked like trains.

Thank you. I'm glad it brought back a pleasant memory for you.
