Living in the great northern Tundra of the USA Lady Ambrosia is a freelance writer and book reviewer who also enjoys many creative crafts as part of her small business. However, a true passion for Dip Pens and Fountain Pens has seeped through and made it present for this blog to be had.
Welcome to the Ink Rack where you will find us torturing Fountain Pen Ink’s, Papers…and maybe occasionally a pen (to a lesser extent of course). If there is, an ink or a paper you would like to see reviewed here feel free to send Lady Ambrosia a note with your request.
This is a PR friendly blog; if you are a company who would like to advertise or offer something to be reviewed please send your pitch off to the Lady. Positive reviews are not guaranteed but the product will be reviewed, always.
Happy writing everyone!
Another Noodler’s and one that I honestly never thought I would have. The idea of a gray ink just never hit me, but a friend asked me to review this ink for them so here I am. The ink lays down a very nice very wet line and has some subtle but pretty shading. It is hard to see in the scan but I promise its there, subtle like a wisp of grey mist. There is some very slight feathering but you cannot notice it without looking very close, no bleed through and some slight shadowing on the other side of the paper.
In this review, I did forget to write a dry version of the Lexington Gray as I have in all of my other reviews. however because it lays down such a nice wet line I am going to assume that aside from the shading being muted out (as it often is in a finer nib for all inks) that it will look very similar. The ink is supposed to be modeled after the Lexington, which it does well, but the other thing I think of when I look at this ink is Confederate Gray’s so bring on the civil war historical thoughts.
The ink has a nice dry time and does not take as long as some of the other Noodler’s Inks and the water did not have any affect on it at all which since it is listed, as a bulletproof ink is what I would expect.
Hopkins: Ah, Ben! I want you to see some cards I'd gone and had printed up. Oughta save everybody here a lot of time and effort, considering the epidemic of bad disposition that's been going on around here lately. "Dear Sir, you are without any doubt, a rogue, a rascal, a villain, a thief, a scoundrel, and a mean, dirty, stinking, sniveling, sneaking, pimping, pocket-picking, thrice double-damned no-good son of a bitch." and you sign your name -- what do you think?
Dr. Benjamin Franklin: I'll take a dozen, right now.
