List 6!!

I haven't gotten everyone's yet, but so far I've gotten @Malinda L. (I love the watercolor wash you did on yours), @Empty_of_Clouds (I loved that you put rose petals in them!), @wurlocke (okay we've got to meet up so you can teach me spencerian because OMG...)...I haven't picked up a few remaining ones being held by the post office but hopefully I'll have time tomorrow (yes my post office is mean and likes to make me pay to receive my mail sometimes).  Thank you everyone!!

Have I heard Ink Party??? Count me in!! @AndyT I absolutely love that book! I have it printed so I could take notes directly over it! Making ink is one of my favourite things to do and I have a lot of materials from my cosmetic-maker time. I've made walnut ink, longwood ink, iron gall ink, the famous dr. Stark recipe, pomegranate iron ink, cochineal iron ink and I even tried wine and jasmin green tea pearls! Not all of them have come out as good, but they all were so fun to make!

Yes you heard ink party...but I think you'd take the cake with everything you've already made... ;D ;D ;D

My normal handwriting is tiny and my teachers always complain they can't read it...probably something that subconsciously motivated me to do it...hahahaha

@jeanwilson : it started out as kind of a half minded thing, and then before I realized what I was getting into, I already did 3/10 assignments in it and was just kind of like, "okay keep going..." I just posted it as kind of an "ops I didn't realize I was calligraphing when I should be writing"  *embarrassed*

I thought Halloween was an African tradition that we adopted...oh but then Halloween's history is shrouded in myth and legends...so I guess either way it works!

@ash0kgiri : Hahaha really? It's about clinical pathology.  Basically how testing is used, what results you get from different samples, and how they work and how they determine positives and negatives and what diagnoses that gives you...you really want to dive into that straight??  ;D ;D

I'm curious if anyone knows anything about the various cursives in regular everyday handwriting.  I've only learned recently that there is American Cursive, British Cursive, and Filipino Cursive (seriously I had no idea), and I would like to see more of it but when I used google I mainly got American cursive, which bored and frustrated me...

Have you ever done your homework or handwritten notes in calligraphy? I'm kind of stuck on it now, haha!

So here's to being a medical student and calligraphy student at the same time!

@prasad : I take iron supplements all the time...so I'd just dissolve them in the ink to make them darker?  Would I have to get the tablet type or the capsule type? Would the sugar coating on the tablet affect the ink?

@Rednaxela : I was just thinking black tea simply because it's darker not really for tannin content.  What does tannin have to do with the darkness?

Ohhhh!! I think I know what to send!! But I'd need 5 and shipping...hmmm...I guess I could try...no harm there!! :)

What are good examples?? I'm asking just in case so I don't send something inappropriate or unrelated to the exchange...

@AnasaziWrites : LOOOL...That's an idea...
