    Zhivago is almost black. When you wash it, or use a wide enough nib, its beauty shines... And the Green has more body...

    One thing I can say about this ink, is that it softens the nib, if that makes any sense. I feel, I'm writing on air.....

    I just got a sample of Zhivago, so now I'm really looking forward to playing with it after your description!

    Is this the new Monteverde Jungle Crocodile?

    Not a Monteverde ink

    Enjoy it. If you sketch or draw it's fun to do a wash...

    Diamine Salamander?
    Noodlers Army Green? or Akhmatova? or even Standard Green?

    (I did watch the match, and rather wish I hadn't)...

    Glad you were watching the match. Otherwise my deviously mysterious ink would have been chosen right away
    One of the 4.... make your choice....

    Oh crumbs!

    The colour feels right for Salamander,
    BUT I am very aware of your preference for waterproof inks.

    I'm going with Noodlers Akhmatova. Because the text reminds me of some of her poetry.

    they should have you on their team, at the match.......

    I'm honoured that you think my attempted text evokes Akhmatova.
    I read her bio after I wrote those texts. The ink is quite evocative in a strange way....Nathan is a master ink brewer....
    Your turn.... Bravo

    LOL, they wouldn't want me on any team - other than perhaps to fill a bit of goal space

    I learned about Akhmatova when we lived in Russia in the mid-90s. An extraordinary and inspirational woman and writer. I must re-read some of her work.

    Back in the morning with something new - it's past my bedtime!

    I thought I'd be different and post a pale blue or green ink. But then I changed my mind and decided to try and lift the gloom around here (desperate for some tropical sun now!)...

    Scan

    and photo

    Enjoy!

    It is not. Nor is it Apache Sunset.

    In fact is is not a Noodlers Ink. Quite simply because I don't have any. None, ninguna, ingen, aucun, keiner, geen, not a single one.

    I do have one or two a few some others though
