Devil's Dictionary

Glad you are all enjoying the doodles. Today's word is EPAULET. I used a Danitrio Sho-Hakkaku in Midori-dame green. This is bad because I may have caught the urushi bug. The ink is a sample from Sailor Rikyu-cha which our urushu enabler par excellence, Ethernautrix sent me. Thank you Ether for a beautiful color!

 

My pleasure! I'm glad you like it -- that midori Danitrio is gorgeous!

 

Many times, that ink dries to a brownish shade; seems it's a bit more sage-ish with a hint of brown in your illustration. I like it! The Sailor Rikyu Cha is changeable and beguiling. Thrilled that you're using it for your illustrations!

Ethernautrix, this ink is interesting indeed. It did dry greenish on the ivory paper of the Leuchtturm notebook, but it dried with a brownish tone on the white paper of the Banditapple notebook.

 

Look at the EPIGRAM:

I love Epigram! And the epigrams, too.

 

The ink is a changeling. For those who complain about how boring black ink is, they should try this Rikyu Cha; it's seldom the same on different papers, from different pens.

Here is some more Rikyu Cha with the ivory paper. Once again... greenish. The words are EPICURE and EPITAPH.

"Pull my finger."

 

:-D

 

Hee hee, I couldn't refrain from slipping that among the epitaphs. Bad, bad Plistumi.

 

Anyways, today's word is ERUDITION. I had to include the pen again, is it just soooo pretty! The green with the brown and the orange/brown. Yum! The left side of the journal is the back view of ENVELOPE.

Like today's offerings -- particularly the ink colors.

How did you like using Leviathan? I really liked the color when I tried a sample of it; however, I found it a somewhat frustrating ink to use, being both very wet and free flowing (almost too much so) but also cloggy, with a tendency towards making the pen a hard starter after a day or two. Have not tried Siren, but it seems to be a really nice color as well.

Here are more words: EUCHARIST and EULOGY. Ha! Looks like I forgot to take out the line guide that helps me keep my lettering straight.

 

inkstainedruth: I, too, only have samples of this ink. The colors are indeed very nice and, like you, have also encountered some difficulty getting it to flow in my pens.

Today's words are EVANGELIST and EVERLASTING. The ink is Diamine Chocolate Brown, one of my favorite colors and the pen is a very flexible Swan. It is a delicious combination!

Those 2 Scribal inks are beautiful - very elegant - as is Diamine Chocolate Brown. Wonderful pictures and your lettering is looking really good.

The inks are indeed nice. I am slowly learning the lettering. Still, more practice is needed.

 

Today's word is EXCOMMUNICATION:

What's with the two black squares, or for that matter the white ones, being together?

 

I LOVE these illustrations!

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice; damn

There goes that fox again.

Let us call it poetic license, an internal joke... something like that. Sounds better than I made mistake that I could have but did not photoshop off. happyberet.gif

Today's words are EXILE and EXISTENCE.

Quick post today. Gotta go see a show. The word is EXECUTIVE. It was executed with a Pelikan Piazza Navona and Noodler's Black.

      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. 
    • A Smug Dill
      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
