Ink

Well, what is a dad to do?

show the girls the word of specialty ink for calligraphy. 

J. Herbin is most likely the best ink around, and the 1670 collection is the best of the best. He went around Asia and India looking for pigments to make ink for the Kings and Queens of Europe, back in the day. The day being 1670, that's where they got the name from.

If you tilt the paper one way you see one color, tilt the paper the other way, a different color, but overall infused with 14K gold.

Bleu Ocean looks, well, blue and sea teal with gold. Emerald Chavor is emerald green, blue and gold. We had to wait two months to get that one, they were only selling small quantities here in the US of A and we had to get on a waiting list.

This video does not do it justice, as far as the ink looks.

Enjoy.
