  1. J Herbin Lierre sauvage (Wild Ivy) This is one of my oldest bottles of ink, it more than 10 years old. I thought I’d review it for fun. It’s a flat green, lacking nuance, which is surprising for a Herbin ink. I neither like, nor dislike it and plan to finish it in a brush pen for artwork. Ink has decent water resistance, and with slightly below average lubrication. The intriguing chroma, doesn't translate in the colour: Writing Samples: Ink had more character with the vintage flex. Quotes are form Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) French poet from AZquotes. Photo: Comparison: Water test: (after 24 hours) Note how the ink blended through Mnemosyne paper after 10 seconds under running water) And finally an art work done with a brush pen, and different from my usual work, entitled Green Meditation: · Pens used: Pilot Kakuno Ef, Stub, Kaweco Sport (EF/F/M/B), Vintage Conway Stewart 330 flexible oblique nib · What I liked: Drawing with it. · What I did not like: The colour · What some might not like: It does not like copy paper. · Shading: Only with flex. · Ghosting: Yes, on cheap paper. · Bleed through: Same as above with wet pens. · Flow Rate: Wet. · Lubrication: Slightly below average. · Nib Dry-out: Not noticed. · Start-up: Not noticed. · Shading Potential: Only with flex pen. · Sheen: No. · Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: Not noticed. · Nib Creep / “Crud”: No. · Staining (pen): No. · Clogging: No. · Cleaning: Easy · Water resistance: Surprisingly good. · Availability: cartridges, 10 ml, 30 ml. Please don't hesitate to share your experience, writing samples or any other comments. The more the merrier

    J Herbin Vert de Gris

    A beautiful verdigris made by J. Herbin. Quite close to the original in this angle Photo curtesy of Annie Spratt, Wikipedia. But in washes, it’s truly outstanding and very close to the colour. Lets starts with beautiful chroma: Ink didn’t like my Osmiroid and it had flow problems. Paradoxically, it was a tad difficult to control with a fude nib on Tomoe River paper, made the feed was primed But in all other pens it behaved flawlessly. Ink is slightly dry. Writing Samples: Tomoe River 68gr Funnily enough the Osmiroid copper plate nib is fine that the Japanese EF. Midori Rhodia Comparison: It has acceptable water resistance: A few sketches of ancient "Minionese" statues discovered recently, somewhere over the rainbow · Pens used: Pilot Elite (Ef), Osmiroid Copperplate Lamy Safari (EF/F/ /Medium /Broad) / Kanwrite Ultraflex / Jinhao 450 fude · What I liked: It’s pleasing/ appeasing gree/grey/ blue. I love the 10 ml bottles. · What I didn’t liked: Flow was problematic in Osmiroid. Ok water resistance. · Shading: Yes · Ghosting: Yes, on some papers, especially cheap ones. · Bleed through: Yes, with very absorbent papers. · Flow Rate: Good · Lubrication: Depending pens it varies. · Nib Dry-out: Not noticed. · Start-up: No problem. · Saturation: Yes, it can be saturated with wet pens. · Shading Potential: Yes on wider pens. · Sheen: Thankfully no · Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: No. · Nib Creep / “Crud”: No · Staining (pen): No · Clogging: No. · Cleaning: Easy. · Water resistance: Acceptable · Availability: 10 ml / 30 ml bottles/ cartridges I'd appreciate hearing about your experience too

    In The Pink

    Still loving my pink ink. This is my writing kit ready for the start of National Novel Writing Month, NaNoWriMo for short. Rose Tendresse ink, pink Lamy Safari pen and a pink and silver notebook. I plan to write longhand during the day and type and upload in the evening, at least that's the plan that's in my head http://i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab228/Mariella_Moon/PinkforNaNoWriMo_zps35231023.jpg
