Lack of consistency, and some spacing issues.
I could not get it right in more than seven attempts :-( but each of those attempts was fun.

It's Noodler's Apache Sunset.
I love how this ink shades, but it feathers like crazy.

Private Reserve's Shoreline Gold or Orange Crush are both pretty good substitutes for Apache Sunset with decent shading properties and less of a tendency to feather.  Some people have experienced drying problems though.  In my experience shading oranges are a piece of cake to mix - Diamine Sunshine Yellow with a dash of Monaco Red works well, for instance.

I enjoy doing them to, I'm thinking of doing a series on insta with dirtier jokes, but I'm not sure the calligraphy community will appreciate my sense of humor haha

This weeks terrible pun is
"I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me."

I am happy with how this turned out I might even post it on insta.
Things I'm not happy with. The 'I', the varying height on ascenders again. Descenders are a little better. And last but not least, the 'd's are just terrible lol.

Don't be shy everyone pun away!

The purpley one is Mcaffery's red-violet. It's my go to ink at the moment and I think it takes on the colour due to the ivory rhodia. The last sentence is Robert Oster red-orange fountain pen ink. You only get a few strokes out of each dip but the colours are wonderful. You can find his ebay store here http://stores.ebay.com.au/robertostersignatureink/ He has lots of great colours. I've not tested them all though and some might not work with a dip pen.

Great work Prasad. How do you do your loops? Do you go over the lop in one stroke or do you do the shade first?
