Week #34 / 20 Aug: The Fifth Element - 2017 Weekly Ink Project

[LizEF]

Great one! Really like the way you visualized the theme.

 

Thanks, namrehsnoom!

[HalloweenHJB]

I've searched my stash for some aptly named inks

 

 

 

Wonderful! Beautifully designed. The element symbols are very creative.

So... are we going to guess what the inks are? Seems like there are more than 4 inks here!

 

Well you're the expert!

 

Earth, top to bottom: Lie de thé, Ina Ho, Yama Guri, Verde Muschiato, Verdigris (minerals?).

 

Water: Ama Iro, Kon Peki, Souten, Tsuyu Kusa.

 

Fire, clockwise: Poppy Red, Fuyu Gaki, Mandarin, Orange Indien.

 

Wind: Ajisai, Myosotis, Asa Gao.

Wow! The submissions this week are very creative - love them! I'm intimidated before I even begin and I've learned a valuable lesson: Don't peak at the submissions until my own is complete. Haha!

Wonderful! Beautifully designed. The element symbols are very creative.

Credit goes to Google Images for the element symbols :-) I just did the arrangement and color selection.

Clearly, I am no artist , but here are my entries for this week anyway:

Ink: Cult Pens aptly named, Deep Dark Blue.

 

No fountain pen used though . Instead, a Chinese brush and an eye dropper bottle were used to squirt the ink out and then I dragged the nozzle along the paper.

Thank you.

Finally catching up on the backlog. Really enjoying the inks on show and how everyone showcases them.

Love it, Tas! It could almost be an Inky for Amber...

COOL!! I LOVE your jellyfish, and usually I stay far, far away from these stinging blobs of goo.

I like your ink choices, especially the Rikyu Cha... great earth color !

[lgsoltek]

Look at that sheen from SHB!

[FPRebel]

Look at that sheen from SHB!

It's the SHEENIEST!!!

You'll probably see it again from me in the current, week 36, but I couldn't resist this shimmering, sheeny "harbour" ink for water in challenge 34.

I don't get this sheen with my bottle. My bottle feathers instead of sheens. I guess there's something wrong with it

Wow, that's really unfortunate...and inconsistent!

I'll gladly send you a sample from my bottle.

 

Because I didn't label it on the page, FWIW, the SHB was filled in an Edison Collier with a 1.1 stub on Tomoe River.

​The blue jelly seems like a creature coming from The War Of The Worlds.

 

​With this kind of talent, it'd be amazing if Gris Nuage (or Diamine grey) were used for "shadow of wind/air turbulence".
