j herbin 1670 in flex nib

(click to embiggen)

I'm continuing to experiment with my Noodler's Flex Nib Piston Fill fountain pen. Above is a writing sample with J. Herbin 1670 - their 2010 limited edition anniversary ink. 1670 does some very interesting things when used in a flex nib. A golden/copper tone appears in the heavily shaded areas. In fact, in the right light, it actually shimmers a bit.

The script I'm using is an adaptation of the "brush script, broad-edged minuscule 2" from The Calligrapher's Bible: 100 Complete Alphabets and How to Draw Them.

You can see the golden/copper tones in the image above. No shimmering, though, due to the scanner.
