De Atramentis Moss Green

If you look though the reviews on this blog, you'll find plenty of greens. I'm kind of a big fan. There's lots of room in the green spectrum for different colors, shades, and hues.

This one isn't going to go into the rotation any time soon. It actually looks quite a bit better on this Rhodia paper than it does on anything else. On notebook paper and printer paper it bleeds through the paper while managing to remain too light to read. I guess if you have the right paper it might be an okay ink, but it's definitely the least impressive De Atramentis ink I've tried.

It's also not a water-resistant ink. It runs pretty fast when you drip anything on it. Definitely a little temperamental.

Franklin-Christoph has Bottled Ink!

Hey folks, 

I love a new source of Writing Fluid and, if their ink is as high-quality as their pens, we're in for a treat. Check out their website for more details. 

They've got four colors right now: Black Magic, Dark Denim, Syrah Syrah, and Olde Emerald. They're almost local, too, so I might have to do down to Raleigh and snag a set of them to try out. 

April's Ink Drop

Hey folks,
Sorry for the long absence. Things have been a little hectic the last couple of weeks, and I haven't had the time to blog.

This months Ink Drop was a blue/green set that includes some pretty nice looking inks. Surprisingly, I didn't have any of these in my collection. It's time to clean out some pens and use some blues.
