Always Plotting Something…

Scratchy to yellow to red

My first attempt using a fountain pen and bottled ink with the pen plotter. The first set has the pen mounted vertically but this scratched the paper in one direction and didn't seem healthy for the nib. I then mounted it at a 45° angle for the remainder.

I put a little bit of yellow ink into the converter, to try it out, then dipped the nib briefly into red before starting the last third. By the end of it the yellow had almost run out.
