INK REVIEW: J Herbin – Gris Nuage

Posted on by
Here’s a quickie review of one of my favorite inks to get us back into the groove this week. (More on Thanksgiving another time.)
The above swab was done with a q-tip and then the name of the ink written with a glass pen. In my experience, there’s a lot of feathering with glass pens and this was no exception. (It also doesn’t help things that it’s written on a cheap-o index card.) (Again, I ask, are there are any nice index cards out there? Starting to think there aren’t.)
Anyway….Gris Nuage (Gray Cloud – how pretty!) is one of my very most favorite gray (grey, if you insist) inks.
It’s light – just like a cloud. It’s prettttttty. Leans more toward blue than red, but is definitely one of those pure colors that I adore.  
And, holy crappoli (it’s a word), it writes like a dream. Check it out….
Pretty, yes?  Some lovely shading going on there, too. And no smearing, no feathering, no ghosting, or bleeding. What more could a girl want in a gray ink?

Oh, yes, it does well with water!  Nice!!!  This is totally one of my gray inks. It makes me swoon!

OK..so see those black specks on the water test?  No, it’s not Gris Nuage gone crazy – that’s collateral damage from my Invincible Black spatter. Haha!

Do you have a favorite gray? Mr. Pentulant was using Montblanc Oyster Grey for awhile in his fancy new Boheme, but he wasn’t loving it.

  10. Signed up to Single Bet Calculator for about four months now, mostly in the evenings after work, so make of that what you will. The game selection is properly stacked — about 3,000 games by my count, with the usual suspects present: NetEnt, Play’n GO, NetEnt. Sweet Bonanza and Book of Dead are the ones I keep going back to, although the Yggdrasil titles have been kinder to me.

    Their sign-up deal was match up to ?300 and 75 spins, and you’re looking at wagering of 35x which isn’t the worst I’ve seen. Not gonna lie, it took me longer than I’d have liked — the spins expire in 72 hours on the spins, which is a bit stingy. There’s a small no deposit thing too — about ?5 if you verify early, small, but I’ll take it.

    I’d say the live side is the stronger half. It’s Evolution running it, so you get actual dealers, loads of roulette and blackjack seats, plus stuff like like Crazy Time and Lightning Roulette. Never had a stream drop on me, which some sites still can’t manage. Worth a look at the up-to-date terms via double bet calculator before you deposit.

    Cashouts at Single Bet Calculator have been decent — e-wallet took around 6 hours for me, debit card ran the usual couple of days. You’ve got Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller and Paysafe, minimum’s ?10. The KYC held me up the first time — passport and proof of address and nobody chased it until I did.

    Sign-up took me about five minutes, UKGC licensed with all the safer gambling tools baked in. No app on the store, it’s a browser thing though an app would be nicer. The live chat at Single Bet Calculator runs round the clock, but you’ll wrestle with an automated agent before a human shows up. Once you get a person they’re fine.
