Ink Mix Rambling, Not For The Feint Of Heart . . .

[Tas]

My remnant mixes always turn out an oily greenish brown

 

Not unlike the color you see on the stretches of ground down by the river that also happens to be visited by a large amount of ducks and/or geese.

Dont be put off. This mix had its fair share of greenish browns thrown in.

Cor, another lovely rambling!

 

The fact that it doesn't explode is a nice bonus

I'm not trying to be perverse (it comes naturally) but oily greenish brown sounds like something I'd find appealing.

LoL!

Reminds me of the first review I saw of Noodler's El Lawrence. Not a color I would have gone out of my way for -- but I kept staring at the images in the review, muttering "That is some weird-ass color" under my breath. It was kinda like a car accident, where you just somehow *cannot* look away. So I got a sample and loved the color. Go figure....

Ooo, I like doing this .

I followed Mad Science's example - only I didn't wear a lab coat and ink went all over the desk leaving pink stains.

I see plenty of Diamine Syrah in there. I often add this to blue up greeny blue-black mixes.
I see a lot of Navajo Turquoise and LCR from my many attempts at recreating Amberleadavis' PPS.
I see a goodly amount of R&K's Helianthus which I often use to warm things up a little.
Noodler's Black is a given. I often add this for permanence in a mix.
The rest, well, who knows .

EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely color, Tas! Unfortunately, if it becomes a hit, it will be almost impossible to reproduce. A new "Unobtanium" ink.

 

All the Best.

That looks like a lovely color, I'd love to try it out, hope I'm not too late? Will you send a sample to Curaçao?

What you do with failed mixes and unsatisfactory purchases sounds a lot like what I'll do with my "Dregs" bottle... and it may well be that what you have there may resemble what's in one of mine...

PM me you details. It would be my pleasure.

 

Like you, I had one bottle and called it blue dregs . . . that ended up becoming part of Teeling Mix. I just had enough one day. I am cutting back. Honest.

- double post oops.

This is really cool ! And the resulting ink looks fabulous.

I switch inks regularly, and often have some drops left over in my pens. From now on, these leftovers will go in a mixing jar, instead of down the drain. I'm not hoping for as lovely a result as you got, but who knows ... maybe I'll get lucky ;-)

[Manalto]

At the very least, it'll be dark and readable. I think I like the surprises just as much as those colors I agonize over before buying.

Absolutely.

Drop me a line, I'll sling you a sample vial full. It's slate gray right now, but I've a bunch of Monteverde Horizon going in later from a pen that needs flushed.

I love the stickman!~
