INK REVIEW: J Herbin – Gris Nuage

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.

  2. I have been surfing on-line more than 3 hours today, yet I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours.
    It is beautiful price enough for me. Personally,
    if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the
    net can be much more helpful than ever before.

  3. With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has
    a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but
    it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement.
    Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being ripped off?
    I’d definitely appreciate it.

  7. Hi! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog post
    or vice-versa? My site covers a lot of the same topics as yours and I
    feel we could greatly benefit from each other.

    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less.
    I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.

    I have heard good things about blogengine.net.

    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
