    Default Mystery Ink #20

    Finally time for the next installment of the Mystery Ink series. I had been starting them all on the 23rd of the month carrying on with the initial coincidence. I decided to give myself a little bit of a break as the last one ended on the 22nd of the month. I also realized I needed to order more sample vials as I've apparently used up 48 of them so far.

    As with any mystery ink it is open to FPG veterans, n00bs, newbies, and lurkers. You volunteer, I pick names, I send free ink, you write with it and post your thoughts and observations. Guessing is welcome, but not required. There is nothing to "win" aside from personal satisfaction that you recognized it. No guess is confirmed until the mystery ink is finally revealed. The point of the mystery ink threads is an unbiased review. Fear not about the quality of your handwriting or sketching abilities. We don't care. We are all appreciative of those with the gift of artistic ability, but how well you draw or write doesn't impact your ability to test an ink and provide your opinion on it.

    As always, international participants are welcome, but due to shipping costs can expect to receive the next 3 mystery inks and find themselves automatically nominated for the next few rounds.

    I need to check my notes again to see who on the international contingent already have this ink. I know I sent it to Chrissy while she was vacationing here in the USA. I believe I also sent it to suzy01 as she was in on the last round. I don't remember whether or not I sent it to Sammyo. Even with those who are already in on this one I should have sufficient ink for another 8 participants. Post if you'd like to participate. If we have more volunteers than ink I'll do as before and randomly draw names.

    I have been a lurker for awhile now and I've always thought this was a cool series of threads. I think it would be cool to participate. Again thanks for putting these together they're really cool and interesting.

    While I look forward to the goings on, I'll sit this one out again -- I'm up to my ears in sample inks and dirty pens that need attention.

    I'd love to be in again, but equally happy to watch if there are too many.

    First image you could find of names in a hat, or just that excited to try another MI?

    Ah, but with the mystery ink at least you wouldn't have to choose which ink to try next!

    At the moment everyone gets ink. We'll see if there is an influx of people in the next couple days, but it's starting to look like mystery inks are dying off in popularity.

    One more day for volunteers. Still haven't approached a threshold where I'm drawing names. Everyone is getting ink.

    If you have more ink than names I will go for it.

    Deciding what sample to use is pretty difficult
