Whales' Nightside


AlaskanWriter

Recommended Posts

Got bored, had a pen half full of Noodlers' Whale Sepia, and some Noodlers' Nightshade on hand... so...

 

I call it Whales' Nightside.

 

1:1 nightshade and whale sepia

 

It goes on purplish when wet, but dries a nice dingy brown.

 

took the sepia from a dull brownish grey to a dull milky brown- I expected a purple tinted grey, but now that I think about it, purple is rather close to the red side of brown....

 

Anyway, a browner sepia than the whale starts as.

 

Sheer luck on my part, but its Perfect! (since I was not really enamored with the sepia as it was(milky grey) ) This mix is my definition of sepia; A dull faded milky brown.

 

Have no idea how this effects the fancy properties of the Whaleman's Sepia... or how it will effect FPs. I have it in a brush pen(water pen filled with ink..).

 

Gary.

Does this mix flow any better than unmixed Whaleman's Sepia? It's one of my favorite colors, but it will only work in a few pens -- clogs up most of them.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
