Customer Reviews
It is a nice green and brown color. The sparkle added to my drawings of a rainbow trout.
I feel bad that my boyfriend does not fully appreciate the colors because he is colorblind.
This ink is entirely gorgeous, but you really have to have a pen that can handle the particle load. It's going to clog most fountain pens, but it works great with a brush, the Pilot Parallel Pens (and can still have uneven fits and starts with those!! Which is pretty remarkable), and with glass and the Kakimori dip pens. The pale green is wonderfully like the copper patina on old copper items, and the copper flake is plentiful and shines so beautifully.
This is the only ink that has ever clogged my TWSBI ECO medium nib pen. The ink is beautiful, but the copper particulate is so plentiful and heavy that it settles before you can finish writing two sentences and clogs the works. I was able to get this ink to write in my Noodler's Ahab, if I wrote very slowly and shook the pen very often. The green ink, when devoid of particulate, is very watery and feathers easily. This is NOT a good ink for cheap paper. The ink goes down light apple green and drys slightly darker.
This has easily become one of my favorite shimmer inks over night. I'm in love. The green and copper work so well together. The copper is very present but doesn't completely overwhelm the green so you can still see both very clearly as your write.
The colour is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, the copper pigment/shimmer plugged my nib by the second sentence, completely obstructing flow. Granted, the nib was fine. I might try again with a larger nib, or dip pen.
