I wanted to research cemeteries because I had so many photos of ones I had visited all over the country. I had trouble finding a professor to sponsor the project because they all thought I was crazy or morbid. Thankfully one prof was also into cemeteries, so I got my project finished. I had NO idea I was NOT ALONE in my joy of visiting and photographing cemeteries until Johanna visited them in her T posts. Now I don't feel so bad saying how wonderful they are. Many of the ones you shared today were fabulous and I appreciated the beauty of them, especially "Lizzie."<br /><br />Your meal looks decent, except for the ketchup (grin). That lime rickey sounds refreshing and looks so colorful, too.

I have used Dr. Ph Martin's Spectralite Gold and Silver which are excellent metallic inks for writing and painting. I would imagine the Martin India Ink line would be of the same high quality. For waterproof opaque, I use Ziller Acrylic ink for writing as it goes through a broad-edge as well as a pointed pen. I've never used the acrylic ink to paint with. For painting I either use gouache, watercolor, of if it needs to be waterproof, I use acrylic paint. Hope this helps.
