Forgive my reviewing an ink that has been reviewed thoroughly before. This is my first review and I wanted to start with an ink that I have a lot of experience with.

 

The written review was done in the Rhodia dotpad. The Titmouse sketch was done with J. Herbin's Terre de Feu and Cacao du Bresil in a Stillman & Birn Gamma Series sketchbook.

 

Edited to add color wash detail, which I previously forgot to upload. Reasonable care was taken to ensure color accuracy.

Beautiful artwork! Well, I not dislike this ink, although I still need to give it some trials. The Parker Urban fine nib was to fine for it, I find this ink a bit dry.

Thank you both. I find the ink to be of medium wetness in my pens.

 

I've added a detail of the color wash, which I had forgotten to upload.

Your artwork really makes these reviews.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Beautiful, beautiful bird. I want to try this ink some time. It's my brother's favorite.

I'm happy this was recently revived so that I stumbled across your review and sketch! Both are very well done, and the sketch complements the review (which complements the sketch). JHerbin should consider hiring you.

The sketch is marvelous!

On my screen Terre de feu swatch looks a dead ringer for Waterman Absolute Brown.

On the other hand I am surprised Alt-Bordeaux looks so dark and brown - I'd always thought of it as faded pinkish purple...

Jason, a sketch like that could help J Herbin sell a lot of ink. They should commission you to do demos. Charming titmouse, and I love the bokeh effect of the background.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
