Hi there. This is my first post and effort, so please excuse any mistakes or errors. It is on the cheapest notebook paper.
Like many, I've been seduced by J. Herbin's Poussiere de Lune, but was disappointed with its lack of waterproofness. Having a selection of Noodler's bulletproof, waterproof and semi-waterproof inks on hand as well as a painter's eye, I thought, why not? Here is my first effort at trying to replicate JHPDL with 4 Noodler's inks, a sample vial and blunt tipped syringe.

 

the recipe (ALL Noodler's):

North African Violet - 30 drops (or 1/2 ml)

Black Swan In Australian Roses 9 drops

#41 Brown 4 drops

Fox (red) 2 drops

It appears to be nice and shady, nearly waterproof, and no problems with the mixture itself.

All can be done with a syringe, empty sample bottle and the four colors (in sample form)

I think it's pretty close.
(please note: I used a Lamy Safari with a 1.1 nib, dipped, not filled)

What say you?

For an even closer match:
30 drops (or 1/2 ml) - North African Violet

10 drops - Black Swan In Australian Roses

5 drops - #41 Brown

2 drops - Fox (red)

It is an absolute shame that nobody has praised this ink mix, or even acknowledged it. PdL is one of my dream inks, but water resistance is a must-have for me. Knowing that this mix exists warms the Blackest Black stone in the center of my chest by at least half a degree.

 

It's looking like I'll have to acquire a bottle of NAV, for this + BSiNAV.... drat! MORE inks I "need"! :)

 

Thanks for posting this!

 

PS: I've gotten similar results from using PR Plum + Lexington Grey, actually. Only the grey part is water-resistant, for obvious reasons, but it's stable and quite pretty, and may be worth your investigation. It has moderate shading, as I recall, though not as good as your mix; I hadn't thought of using BSiAR...

      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
