Ember on Glaze

A swab and a word on Glaze, written live.

Ember is an orange you can read: dark enough for a full page, warm enough for a card. The gold is a fine shimmer that settles in the bottle and rides along in the line.

Shake the bottle gently before you fill. The particles sit on top of the paper, so the smoother the sheet, the more gold you see.

Use it with a wide nib. The Reed lays down enough ink that every down-stroke glints.

On each paper

  • Rag

    A soft orange line. Most of the gold sinks into the fibres.

    Drying: about 4 s

  • Glaze Best

    Gold sits on top of the coating and glints along every stroke.

    Drying: about 10 s

  • Washi

    Warm and translucent. The gold stays on the front.

    Drying: about 2 s

Care

Shimmer inks need a pen you flush often. Clean it out within a couple of weeks and before it goes in a drawer.
