Week #50 / 10 Dec: Kill Winter With Orange - 2017 Weekly Ink Project

[lgsoltek]

Winter is coming! Kill winter with an orange ink. (If it's summer where you live, kill the heat with aqua/turquoise/blue/mint!

 

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.

Next week: Thanks for the Memory

=================================

We are near the end of the year guys! Thank you for joining! What do you think about this year's weekly ink projects? Are they fun to do? Maybe once per week is too frequent? Do you still want to do something like this next year? Personally I think it's fun to pick an ink every week and see what the others come up with, but maybe it's a bit too frequent. I'm thinking about something like a monthly ink combos next year, something like matching two inks every month, with themes like "complementary colours month", "doppelgängers month", etc. What do you think?

Hi Jinhui: For next year, I like the idea of color combinations or complements —maybe based on a theme. That would be fun!

 

Here's my contribution this week. Sorry for the blurry photo —didn't realize it until after I uploaded it.

 

 

As you may imagine, I have a lot of these Fall/Halloween colors on hand...

My latest purchase. Not going to be my favourite orange though.

I agree completely with you. I don't know who invents the names for inks at Monteverde, but they really messed up with this one: this ink has absolutely nothing in common with a fire opal. Actually, the first time I saw it up close, it looked almost exactly like the color of well cooked "Pumpkin Pie," so I just call it that now.

 

And yes, it is a bit dry. A little PhotoFlo, and it works very nicely.

Just googled what pumpkin pie is. That's the colour!

 

I guess I was misled by their purported "flow enhancing" IFF or ITF or something technology...

This looks kinda like Diamine Ancient Copper, at least on my screen. Would you say this is so?

 

I like your idea of monthly ink pairing---I'm sure this will enhance my journal!

I've always suspected that Oranje Boven is just Diamine Pumpkin.

I find Ancient Copper browner, more "brick".

[Newjelan]

Well it's Summer here and yesterday was 35C so I am wanting to cool down. When I prepared this sample it was between 2 heatwaves. Today (Thursday) we are having another brief respite from the heat. I hate Summer.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for your idea Lgosltek.

 

While I found the weekly ink posts great and they encouraged me to explore more inks, I think the weekly theme can be challenging. I like the idea of ink pairing themes and think weekly pairings will be difficult, so monthly is a good idea.

Swab #0 on the right hand edge is Diamine Ancient Copper, and I also find it a little more 'brick'

I love orange inks and I don't know which one to choose. I currently have one of my own mixes loaded in my Pilot Custom 74. Is that allowed?

Of course! Just tell us how you made it (assuming you know ).
