It's been awhile since I last posted a Chinese Cacography. Here's a simple one. Akkerman Shocking Blue has amazing sheen - even on this Baron Fig paper which is a bit absorbent. I wish I could photograph the sheening quality better.

Chinese Cacography: 修訂 Revise
It's interesting that Tokiwa-Matsu looks flat green on Baron Fig paper. Definitely a sign of it's absorbency compared to certain Travelers Notebook, Rhodia or Tomoe River papers.

Chinese Cacography: 快樂 Happy
Summer is officially here. Time to be happy!
A little comment on Scabiosa. It's been maybe a couple weeks, up to a month since I wrote this Chinese Cacography. It initially went down more of a rust colour. Now it's aged to a purple-black. Pretty interesting to see this oxidation process.

Chinese Cacography: 歌舞劇 Musical
It's a challenge to write Chinese characters using a bold nib on 5 mm dot grid ruling. I had to turn the pen over to do reverse writing and get a finer line.
