Tas Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 My remnant mixes always turn out an oily greenish brown Not unlike the color you see on the stretches of ground down by the river that also happens to be visited by a large amount of ducks and/or geese. -kDont be put off. This mix had its fair share of greenish browns thrown in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manalto Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 My remnant mixes always turn out an oily greenish brown I'm not trying to be perverse (it comes naturally) but oily greenish brown sounds like something I'd find appealing. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkstainedruth Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I'm not trying to be perverse (it comes naturally) but oily greenish brown sounds like something I'd find appealing. LoL!Reminds me of the first review I saw of Noodler's El Lawrence. Not a color I would have gone out of my way for -- but I kept staring at the images in the review, muttering "That is some weird-ass color" under my breath. It was kinda like a car accident, where you just somehow *cannot* look away. So I got a sample and loved the color. Go figure....Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth "It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Tas Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Ooo, I like doing this .I followed Mad Science's example - only I didn't wear a lab coat and ink went all over the desk leaving pink stains.http://www.taskyprianou.com/fpn_teeling_mix_chromatography_final.jpeghttp://www.taskyprianou.com/fpn_teeling_mix_chromatography_final_close_up.jpgI see plenty of Diamine Syrah in there. I often add this to blue up greeny blue-black mixes.I see a lot of Navajo Turquoise and LCR from my many attempts at recreating Amberleadavis' PPS.I see a goodly amount of R&K's Helianthus which I often use to warm things up a little.Noodler's Black is a given. I often add this for permanence in a mix.The rest, well, who knows . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JungleJim Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Lovely color, Tas! Unfortunately, if it becomes a hit, it will be almost impossible to reproduce. A new "Unobtanium" ink. All the Best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhguda Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 That looks like a lovely color, I'd love to try it out, hope I'm not too late? Will you send a sample to Curaçao?What you do with failed mixes and unsatisfactory purchases sounds a lot like what I'll do with my "Dregs" bottle... and it may well be that what you have there may resemble what's in one of mine... a fountain pen is physics in action...

It would be my pleasure. Like you, I had one bottle and called it blue dregs . . . that ended up becoming part of Teeling Mix. I just had enough one day. I am cutting back. Honest.

namrehsnoom Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 This is really cool ! And the resulting ink looks fabulous. I switch inks regularly, and often have some drops left over in my pens. From now on, these leftovers will go in a mixing jar, instead of down the drain. I'm not hoping for as lovely a result as you got, but who knows ... maybe I'll get lucky ;-) -- inkxplorations.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manalto Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 At the very least, it'll be dark and readable. I think I like the surprises just as much as those colors I agonize over before buying. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaxmoore Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Drop me a line, I'll sling you a sample vial full. It's slate gray right now, but I've a bunch of Monteverde Horizon going in later from a pen that needs flushed. Physician- signing your scripts with Skrips! I'm so tough I vacation in Detroit.

amberleadavis Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I love the stickman!~ Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas). Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison Don't know where to start? Look at the Inky Topics O'day. Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
