Week #26 / 25 Jun: Elements In Ink - 2017 Weekly Ink Project

[lgsoltek]

Choose an ink that represents an element in the periodic table. (Thank you migo984 for the idea!)

As usual, don't forget to share with us your choice of ink, your writing, drawing, doodling or anything with the ink in this thread. You can take a photo, make a scan, or even better, write letters and CRV reviews (what is a CRV?) and mail them to the many ink pals here. You are welcome to check back on this thread even when we've gone past this week.

Elementary, my dear Lgsoltek

Brilliant choice!

 

I'm going to have to read up on my elements. Science was never my strongest subject...

I'll be claiming iron - element nr 26, for the number of the week. Represented, of course, by an iron-gall ink. The beauty of that is I can use a ton of different IG inks... they will all be representative of Fe. Will upload my picture later today.

I had two ideas, and I'm glad that mhguda got the IRON that I was thinking about (I would have gone with that what happens when iron oxidizes —RUST), but I'll go with my original idea of...

 

 

[Ian the Jock]

I'm sorry.

This one is lost on me.

I haven't a clue what the topic is about.

Is it "actual" elements that are in the ink (if so, how do you know?) or is it elements in the name? Or elements that the ink remind you of?

Please excuse my confusion, I was expecting posts with silver ink, or Carbon black and the likes.

I'd say any or all of the above - either it reminds you of the element, or you know the element is part of what gives the ink its color, or you guess, or you free-associate... in my case, I loved it that the number of the week equals the number of the element.

Your Rouge Hematite looks nothing like mine! A lovely ink color.....without the BURN. Kids today have no idea how lucky they are.

Ooh, I like Golden Sands, is that a shimmery one?

 

Lots of 'gold' name inks around.

I once compared 18 gold-themed inks (with or without gold in the name) and apparently there are way more than that!

[Ian the Jock]

Ok, here's my take.

 

 

I'm gutted.

In the light of day, the whole page is a sparklefest, but it just won't show up on the scan at all.

Oh well! Should have took a photie.

Nice one Ian! And I agree with the judges! I hated Red Lustre the moment I put it on paper. Horrible colour. It's not red. It's a dirty brownish pink.

[Ian the Jock]

Yip, I agree.

I love reds but this isn't one.

The gold sparkles make it look like a washed out browny orange.

It needed to be cherry red, or snooker ball red to work, I think.

I don't use it much, but I use the blue Pearl daily in my bci Churchmans Prescriptor.

@juulz - totally agree, a lovely colour and a lovely pen, what a fab nib.
