Blue Lapis

Blue Lapis

 

I had two bottles of Noodlers which were not my favorites - Legal Lapis which was too green/teal for me and Regular Blue which was more turquoise for me. I combined the two and got a great color which I'm really liking.

 

The Noodlers Blue brings out the bluish parts of LL and it's not as saturated so there is some good shading. It also doesn't "spread" on the paper with a wet writer - like straight LL.

 

The LL brings the super smooth flow and darkens the Blue.

 

2 parts Noodlers Blue

1 part Noodlers Legal Lapis

For contrast, here's three other blues:

I thought this sounded interesting so I gave it a try.

I started with 9 parts Noodler blue and 1 part Legal lapis.

then increased the amount of Legal lapis.

 

I also tried soaking the paper for about 30 minutes

 

Paper is generic 20lb multipurpose copy paper

and pen is a williams mitchell #6 roundhand dip pen nib.

 

If the attachment ever get deleted, the scan is also available here.

      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
