Oh that pen, watch and Rhodia orange...

 

I often enjoy matching an ink with a pen... it seems there may be more.

Thanks Tomas :)

 

Thanks Rednaxela, the video is interesting, I think I will try to make also a pen together with my son :)

 

Inky, your letter bird is great :)

 

 

Today again a quick one but not with ink.

Just scribbled Tweedy, only using a pastel brush.

Bought a new bottle of ink last saturday. Sailor 4 seasons Souten. The color is a little too cheerful for blackmetal lyrics, so I thought I'd go with something slightly different.

The pen is a Twsbi 580AL, with a Visconti steel medium nib.

Nightwish is Black Metal?

 

Don't get me wrong, Oceanborn is a classic, but it's certainly not Blood Fire Death.

I'm not a great fan of most of Parker's post-80s pens, but this is a handsome contemporary-looking pen.

 

And I like those back-struck minuscule d.

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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. 
    • Ceilidh
      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.
