I had way too much fun over the weekend with the Diamine Cult Pens Fruity and Iridescink 12ml set and my Dominant Industries Log of Atlantis. Flash photography rather than natural light.

Wearingeul ink swatch cards, sitting on an open ink archiving logbook with a line drawing of an undersea scene. One swatch is honey brown fountain pen ink, the other pink. On the swatch card there are looped lines that have been smeared after set intervals of time to show drying time. The drawing is partly coloured in. The sea area is blue, one piece of coral is brown, and another pink.

Two more colours used in the Dominant Industry Log of Atlantis. Van Dieman Ink "Leatherwood Honey", and Diamine "Sultry Strawberry" from the Cult Pens Fruity and Iridescink set of 16 12ml bottles.

Wearingeul ink swatch card with swatch patch of blue fountain pen ink, sitting on an open ink archiving logbook with a line drawing of an undersea scene. The drawing is partly coloured in. The sea area is blue, and a sea urchin is brown. On the swatch card there are looped lines that have been smeared after set intervals of time to show drying time.

Did another Diamine Sapphire Blue swatch, and took a photo with it on top of the first page of Dominant Industry's A Log of Atlantis. The sea colour is DSB applied with cotton bud, paintbrush, and glass pen, with varying numbers of layers and water.

Wearingeul 'Jaquere' fountain pen ink swatch card, with swatch of blue ink and two drying time samples, one for 5 seconds and one for 10. Swatched by laying down one layer, letting it dry, and then laying down another layer across part of the first.

Finally got myself some swatch cards today, Wearingeul 'Jaquere'. First up, the ink I use for testing a new pen, Diamine Sapphire Blue. I love this ink, both colour and the way it writes. Photo in artificial light, alas.
