The name of the ink is “green ceramic glaze”, after the copper glaze used in green-glazed pottery. Very aptly named with a shading dark green base and silver shimmer which represents the reflective effect of glazed pottery.
Pen is Sailor Hocoro fude, paper is Tomoe River 52gsm original
Followup from my #SwatchWednesday post, here is the writing sample for Lie de thé. Again, the ink entry format is adapted to the old planner, the swatch is colored in over the month box, a convenient rectangle (:
Also, after a falling to the floor mishap, fishie pen rest is back (: fixed with 2-part epoxy.
#SwatchWednesday time! My BlueBlack exclusive Colorverse inks arrived yesterday! So happy to finally have a bottle of Goryeo Celadon 🥰 I used it in a Homo Sapiens for a few weeks last year & have been itching to pick it up since. Also got the 2nd set of samples I won on the @penaddict stream (thanks again, Brad!) swatched. That's me completely up to date now. I'll need to start thinking about what I want my 200th ink to be. It needs to be something special. Any suggestions? #FountainPenInk
#SwatchWednesday time! That's me up-to-date with my ink swatches again, although there are still a few samples enroute from the U.S. along with an order from BlueBlack in S. Korea. I'll need to try not to buy any more inks this month. We'll see how long that lasts... 😅
Just filled the last page of my ink journal and will start a new one this week. I’ll take some snaps of all the swatches in the index for #SwatchWednesday (: I’ve catalogued around 170 inks so far across two ink journals.
Saw this quick review by MarcyMe of this year’s SE Pelikan Edelstein ink, Golden Lapis, seems to be same gold shimmer as in the Golden Beryl but with a blue base color.
Here’s another one: Queen Allium. It’s pretty well-behaved for all the shimmer, but you definitely need a medium nib or larger. #SwatchWednesday #fountainpens
