So, again I hope I'm not polluting FPN with tons of my scans. I wish more people would do this. Lately I've been trying to write a line whenever I change inks, and I've been scanning them and posting them here whenever I finish a sheet. This one is on some weird textured cream paper, wasn't the best choice, but oh well... (The current one I'm working on is even worse!! unsure.gif )

Anyway, just so you know, I abbreviated the names of the pen I was using because I was constrained for space. So Noir, Crystal, or Champagne refer to the particular Sensa Meridian I was using. 26P is a Lamy 26P with an OB nib. Dancheron is a crappy pen, my first, M nib. Eversharp is a Symphony semiflex. WS325 is a Wing Sung with a false triumph nib (love it!) CdA is an Ecridor, F. Fuliwen is the discontinued "Goldenman", nice MF nib.

"Pacific Grove" mix is (I think) 1:1:1 Verdun:Sequoia:Green Marine. "Burnin Up" Mix is (I think) 4.5:4.5:1 Habanero:Djinn of the Eternal Flame:Widowmaker. I think I may have been wrong about the "mystery rust", but it is indeed aptly named.

As usual, click on the link (and click the top-right magnifying glass once in Picasaweb) to see a huge, zoomed-in version.

I love your scans. I've referred to them often.

That Navajo-Verdun looks interesting...

I've noticed that Navajo gets lost in a mix quite easily. Add very little of the "other color".

Grabbed the recipe for Iraqi and Navajo, thanks.

How do you "do" the fill ... like the Lex Grey chasers?
