Ink (Powdered and Liquid)
|
|
 |
Powdered Ink: Coming very soon.
Liquid Ink, Bordeaux: 2 ounce bottle.
Liquid Ink, Scribe's Black: 2 ounce bottle.
Liquid Ink, Turquoise: 2 ounce bottle.
Liquid Ink, Sienna: 2 ounce bottle.
4 Ink Set: Four wonderful colors. Choose the one to write that letter
that will leave a lasting impression. Sienna for the classic mind. Turquoise for the adventurous.
Bordeaux for the romantic and lovers of a good red wine. Verde for the gardener. Good sized bottles,
good for years of writing. Comes complete with Venetian style glass pen in emerald green.
Palette for Pens: 6 - ? ounce bottles of ink: Indigo, Auburn/Amber, Bordeaux,
Sienna, Turquoise and Verde, plus two glass styluses (pens).
Powdered Ink, Panther: The package is not authentic
and I doubt that the ink formula is either, but it is powdered ink. You could create
your own period package and put this ink inside. As far as the formula, the main
difference between modern powdered ink and period powdered ink is that the period ink
will turn brown over time. Unless you want to use aged documents, you will not notice
the aging to brown. This is a blue black ink. We heat seal the zip lock package in a
second package to prevent spillage and the associated mess.
More items and information coming soon.
