Week #42 / 15 Oct: Breast Cancer Awareness Month - 2017 Weekly Ink Project

[lgsoltek]

October is breast cancer awareness month. In France they call it "octobre rose" (pink october). So this week let's pick a pink ink (alliteration and rhyming intended) . If you don't have a pink, maybe something red, magenta, purple?

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.

What happened to 41?

#41 didn't seem to get much activity. It's here:

Yep, somehow #41 is the neglected child...

[LizEF]

Poor #41. It had such potential. I think I used all my pinkish inks already, so I may have to repeat.

What a shame. People are missing out on an incredible pair of shoes.

 

Thank you white_lotus.

I never saw the link for it until now. Not sure why...

Same.

Because the title is not long enough? Anyway guys you're always welcome to go back to previous weeks and revisit them!

OK, here's my contribution for this week. I think it's a nice combination.

 

The OVERVIEW:

 

 

The PEN:

 

 

and the INK:

Nice one Herbert, and what a lovely combo!

Wow. How did I miss that ink before now (I've loved most of the D'A inks I've tried except for the Document line). And normally I don't go all "matchy-matchy" with pen and ink colors but that worked well. And makes me want one of those M600s even more -- not that they're *remotely* affordable at this point....

I'm so far behind on this project. I really meant to do one for last week but I've got to find the ink that matches the garment really closely....

It's a repeat ink for me, but cleverly enough, it's another De Atramentis - we have a series going. The pen was a gift from a friend (I infected her, she tried out the Nemosine, but didn't like it, so she shipped it to me ).

I didn't know you liked these kinds of soft pinks, Ruth!

Guess I blew a fuse...

 

 

These are all my pinks, on Tomoe River paper. It's the 2nd colour I have the most of, the 1st being blue-greens/ teals.

The first one I bought was Iroshizuku Yama BUdo and the latest is Graf Von Faber Eectric pink - which i LOVE

 

Bonus for sheen lovers:

 

 

 

I have a pen inked with Yama Budo, which I unfortunately don't use very often. So the ink has been there for a while and it now writes a lot darker and with a lot more sheen than YB dipped fresh from the bottle - it doesn't even look like the same ink..

[lgsoltek]

That's beautiful! I love these colours.

I was wondering why there's two Yama-budo. Interesting how it turns out different at different concentration!

[Inkvisible]

So many pink inks to choose from!

I'm constantly surprised by what it turns out I like and don't like. I do actually have and like some pinks -- although one I thought I *would* like, J Herbin Rose Tendresse, turned out to have just enough of a lavender undertone that it was somehow sort of grating on my senses. Which was weird because I like a lot of purples, and lavenders that are dark enough to be legible.

The two that freaked me out the most by liking? J Herbin 1670 Rouge Hematite (the original formula with the big flakes of gold) and Noodler's El Lawrence. And normally I can't stand blood reds, or pretty much *anything* "murky" that might have a green component to it....

But yeah, I like pink sometimes (the first pink ink I bought was fairly early on -- Noodler's Shah Rose.
