Bhavna Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 This is the closest I have come to in finding a replacement for Sheaffer's King's Gold, with clout!

Bhavna Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 There are a couple I would love to be renamed. The sheen/ shimmer is incredibly appealing and satisfying if one can use that term!

GBD Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Oh man, these look much nicer in your photos! How does the Golden Sands seem in person as a poor man's gold leaf substitute? Link to post Share on other sites
thudthwacker Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Ooh -- makes me think of Apache Sunset, but shot through with real gold. Okay, getting a bottle of this one, too. Link to post Share on other sites

Bhavna Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Oh man, these look much nicer in your photos! How does the Golden Sands seem in person as a poor man's gold leaf substitute? Thank you! Ok, I LOVE gold (in a very unhealthy way) - and this as I have said is very close to Sheaffer's King's Gold which I was crazy about. The ink goes down very light and darkens to different shades of 'gold' - it is incredible to watch. As for the Gold leaf substitute, yes it is there - but do use a wet writer that lays down some ink and then you will see the magic. I was delighted to have captured the gold dancing in the bottle.

Bhavna Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Ooh -- makes me think of Apache Sunset, but shot through with real gold. Okay, getting a bottle of this one, too. I have both, and this doesn't have the 'red' shading the Apache does, BUT I found a similar shading quality that is absolutely lovely! I am excited for you, please DO come back and share your thoughts once you get yours!. If there is righteousness in the heart, There will be beauty in character.

Bhavna Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Rather nice.Indeed, and it has the shading of your lovely avatar.

inkstainedruth Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Thanks for the review.Interesting, but I think I may pass on this one. I didn't really like Apache Sunset (not really an "orange" person) and "Apache Sunset with gold dust" isn't enough to sway me.Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth "It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Hope it shows the distinction. Cyber6, I would love you see your formulation with your lustre dust! Please share a picture as and when!

thudthwacker Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Ah, much less orange than I initially thought. Still quite nice, though now solidly behind Brandy Dazzle in my "need-to-get" list. Link to post Share on other sites
Bhavna Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Ah, much less orange than I initially thought. Still quite nice, though now solidly behind Brandy Dazzle in my "need-to-get" list. Agree, Golden Sands had incredible shading that is not orange. Glad you like Brandy Dazzle, I have posted some more pictures on that review to show some browns for comparison.

GBD Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Thank you! Ok, I LOVE gold (in a very unhealthy way) - and this as I have said is very close to Sheaffer's King's Gold which I was crazy about.

I was delighted to have captured the gold dancing in the bottle.That is exciting news! And your new comparison pic is very helpful to get a better understanding of where it is in the spectrum of yellows. Can't wait until this gets released. I will use it in the juiciest fattest of nibs and make some pseudo-illuminated manuscripts. Link to post Share on other sites
ethernautrix Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I said elsewhere that I have my eye on the Blue Pearl (so pretty!), but all of these inks look fun! _________________etherX in To MiastoFleekair <--French accent. Link to post Share on other sites
