Inks 1: Orange, Red, Pink & Burgundy |
http://www.ravenmoon.us/inks/inks1
Inks 1: Orange, Red, Pink & Burgundy. Indicates sample vial only. A rich warm coppery brown, that shades wonderfully. Very much like a gently aged copper penny, but far from ancient; after all, wouldn’t that be verdigris green? Nevertheless, I love it! Mont Blanc Special Edition DaVinci Red Chalk. It’s tough to know where to put this one, but I like it a lot! I went on a bit of a ‘scented ink buyng spree’ recently, and this is one of the haul. It’s a really nice caramel-ish golden b...Another sample with...

Or, Everything That Isn’t a Sheaffer! Here you will find everything that works and is not a Sheaffer! This includes high-end writing instruments like my Visconti and Cross pens, all the way to my 99 Chinese pens and some off-brand or ‘third tier’ pens. Don’t be fooled, though – there are some fantastic treasures here! Left: A lovely vintage Waterman Ideal Nº 05521/2V (gold filled “Gothic” overlay) Fountain Pen and Pencil set, in its original box, with instructions. Grey and Red Stripe. Add in the rose-go...

Inks 2: Rust, Brown, Grey & Black |
http://www.ravenmoon.us/inks/inks2
Inks 2: Rust, Brown, Grey & Black. Indicates sample vial only. I think I’d be more likely to call the Arabian Rose ‘Plum’ and call this some kind of deep red. It does have a purpley-burgundy tone to it, but there is a definite hint of brown as well. It shades well in the swab, but I’m less than impressed by it pen-on-paper. A deep, rusty red, heavy with shades of iron and burgundy. A perfect deep dried blood, but a lovely color nevertheless. Clearly I have a thing for brown/red hybrids! If there is a col...

There aren’t really any free tools for doing that either, I’ve looked! So far it’s looking pretty good though! You can see what the new database driven pages will look like on the bottom left, where there are a few pages labeled (BETA). Once it’s done, I will be adding a LOT of new pens and inks, several repair updates, and maybe even a page for all the vintage pencils I have also accumulated. So stay tuned! July 26, 2016. New pen cabinet, and new pens coming soon. Click to enlarge, of course! The cap re...

Inks 3: Purple, Blue & Green |
http://www.ravenmoon.us/inks/inks3
Inks 3: Purple, Blue & Green. Indicates sample vial only. Private Reserve Ebony Purple. Deep purple with charcoal tones, nearly black. This ink actually reads black in finer nibs, or under any but the brightest light. Scribal Workshop Cryptid Series, “Nessie”. Nice violet purple, actually a color I might associate with violets. (Although in reality, I suspect they may run more to the blue, but it matches the violets on my vintage chine to a T! Noodler’s La Reine Mauve. Levenger’s purple is a bright...

New Pens |
http://www.ravenmoon.us/posts/category/new-pens
Category Archives: New Pens. A Bit of a Mystery…. The pen is huge, with a gorgeous woodgrain ebonite body, a big ball-ended clip, and a big, smooth, wet 14K Warranted #8 nib. Not much flex, but it writes like silk. The section has a couple of dings, indicating the sac was changed (or someone tried to open it), but otherwise, it seems to be in amazing condition. One fellow who collects pencils mentions a pen marked similarly, which seems to have been made by Diamond Point. (The entry is HERE. May 2, 2015.
