Mystery Ink #36 and #37

[junglejim]

It was nice to see Scooby921 drop in to our last Mystery Ink series. For those who are new here, Scooby921 was the past host of Mystery Ink series #13 through #23 (August 2016-December 2018).

So is it time? Is it time for another round??? YES,YES,YES!! Mystery Ink is now open to FPG veterans, n00bs, newbies, and lurkers. You volunteer, 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 perhaps 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.

I will act as the Procurer, Packer, and Post Office Porter. This ink flight will consist of 1 packet containing 2 inks, each vial filled with 3mls of Mystery Ink labeled MI-36 and MI-37. There will be 9 packets available and only 2 of the packets will be for overseas participants due to the high cost of postage( US$16.25/each ). If you are international, please let me know. If there are more sign-ups for overseas participants than slots, then I will run a Random Number Generator to pick.

The inks in this ink flight are dye based, not pigmented, no shimmer and not iron gall. I don’t use any of the Noodler’s Bay State inks, so there won’t be any in the ink flights I send out.

Post below if you would like to volunteer to receive a free ink flight. I'll leave this open until 12 Noon PDT Saturday August 21st.

Note: Packets sent to the UK generally arrive within 8 working days. To the EU it may take much longer.

Covid-19 Precautions -- I am now fully inoculated, but for everyone's safety [ especially with the Delta variant going on ] ink samples will be prepared using a face mask and gloves. Ink Packets will be put together with a face mask and freshly washed hands. ( Sorry, but it's impossible to use sticky tape with gloves on... )

Until then, please stay Safe and Healthy!

Disclosure- Chrissy will be participating, but there are still 2 international slots available. I had sent her a packet of some regular ink samples in July and included the 2 Mystery Inks to save some money on postage.
