Poor Man's Emerald Of Chivor

[pen_master]

Hello,

I love Emerald of Chivor but do not always want shimmer. Also, it tends to be pricey.

So, I mixed 3.25 mL of Noodler's Blue Eel with 1 mL of Diamine Apple Glory and produced what to me was an exact match of the colour.

You may need to tweak by 0.25 mL. It has less sheen than the original.

 

****Sorry for the delay in pictures. I had to be somewhere*****

 

You will notice that EoC is more definitely more saturated when applied in large amounts and tends to be thicker. However, when writing, it seems a close approximation.

I tend to mix diamine inks with(usually eau de Nil and soft mint) with some nonshading inks from other brands and get very nice results. I like how this practice can be described by this headline spot on

I think the original posters formulation looks as nice if not better to the original thing .

My favorite combo has been 1:5 DC supershow blue:soft mint, which makes a kinda sugary dark green/brown which shades quite well. Serenity blue+eau de Nil was another combo I enjoyed that was reminiscent to emerald of chivor

Thanks for that. However, it doesn't have the same 'feel' as the real thing, even though it has Blue Eel in it.
