Awesome @ash0kgiri

Thanks for the kind words @prasad. Looking at it again I think it still needs to be composed properly.
Excited to write it again.

Found this Pun on IG from 'Oliveleafcalli' and thought I would try it with my new Pilot Parallel 4.5mm.

I think Ashok don't mind rendering a combo with Italic as the minuscule.  I think someone might have done it before...

'Solitude' in Gentle Gothic.
@prasad here's the first batch of your Walnut Ink. Prefer a little darker for my pilot pens.

- Ashok

[prasad]

Perfect.

I think  you may get a darker shade with added concentration.

[ash0kgiri]

I agree. Just worried about clogging.

Thanks anyways.

Did not think of that.  I don't have much experience  with these crystals either.  Maybe others like @AndyT can weigh in?

-Prasad

[ash0kgiri]

Infact I remember you telling me this long back. And I been a little careful since then.
Thanks anyways.

I'd be wary of using ink from crystals in a parallel pen, although they're supposed to be easy to clean, aren't they?

I have several pen pals who have assured me that walnut ink in parallel pens is a wonderful combination and no clogging problems. They don't even put the ink in a cartridge. They fill the barrel. I never have time to try this - but I would trust two of my sources: Carol DuBosch and Elizabeth Walsh - both very well known scribes in the broad edge world.

I would also add that you probably don't want to forget about your pens for several months - as ink tends to dry up. But walnut ink is so easy to re-disolve that I can't imagine it would be difficult to clean a dried up parallel pen.

There are many directions and youtube videos on parallel pens.
Here is a link to Carol's suggestions.
