Ignore the sloppy Copperplate - I haven't done much practice so my technique is still crap (too round, still don't have a grasp on pressure for thicks/thins, etc). The purpose of this picture is to show off the beautiful cobalt blue hue of this ink. It's highly pigmented, but a tad sticky, meaning it is not for use in a fountain pen, but works beautifully for dip pens, particularly the copperplate nibs that don't have the separate reservoir.
This weekend we had a bit of a stitch 'n' bitch at my home, though I have been under the weather and wasn't much of a host. A few lovely ladies came over and played in my art studio, sewing, beading, mending, etc. I didn't even think to take pictures, but it was nice to share my space, particularly on a hot day when my room is quite chilly.
