It's much harder getting neat letters with the smaller pen size; for to practice with it a lot. (Lyrics are Rip Out The Wings if a Butterfly by HIM, just because it was playing) #calligraphy
oh those are just the Ecolines I have :D before picking up calligraphy I'd use inks to fill my mandalas so I've got bunches, mostly metallic and iridescent ones like the Daler Rowney pearlescent inks, but I also have some Diamines but I've been told they're not at all lightfast (which I wouldn't know as my stuff goes in a folder in a box under the bed when I finish it XD)
Thank you! ❤ I only picked up calligraphy a couple of months back, and that's because I was getting into doing the kinds of borders you find on illuminated manuscripts but couldn't do anything with them, so figured it was high time I learned calligraphy XD
Daler-Rowney FW Pearlescent Inks can be used to add shimmer and shine to decorative arts such as greeting cards, seasonal decorations, mounts and frames. They are perfect for creating dazzling effects on various surfaces.
That's what mandala drawing is like for me, requires intense focus and repetition of patterns, very meditative. And yeah calligraphy is the same now - at least blackletter which is the only one I do XD I find myself getting lost in it and accidentally repeating strokes because it's so rhythmic.
Last two springs I've left a piece of paper with ink samples on a south-east facing window (in the north hemisphere) for 3 months; I only had two shimmering Diamine inks, and they both suffered (the red way more than the black), but other inks fared significantly worse.
Oh interesting! What were the others? I was talking about inks with the friend who works at the art store I order from, and they said they left something with diamine ink in the one one afternoon and the next day it was drastically faded. Maybe mileage varies with different colours!
And indeed if you care about light resistance and/or consider doing so fun :D I'd recommend testing the inks you have yourselves, because different colours / dyes / pigments even from the same manufacturer will have different behaviours.
