This is your sign to start an Ink Dossier / Ink journal where every fountain pen ink gets its own page, its own swatch, and its own story. Today’s entry: No. 011 | Jacques Herbin Caroube de Chypre. A warm reddish-brown with stunning gold shimmer, beautiful shading, and the prettiest hint of green sheen. Welcome to my Ink Dossier… because every ink has a story worth documenting. I actually keep two ink journals. I like to call them Dossiers. First up is this little notebook set up I call my strawberry cover because it's Hobonichi A6. And my Wonderland 222 A6 with beautiful 52 GSM fountain pen friendly paper. This is where I dedicate one page to every ink collection I have. I definitely got some catching up to do. I also use some of the old practice swatches by saving them and instead of letting them go to waste. Today's entry is Dossier No. 11. The name is really hard to pronounce. So don't laugh at me. Caroube de chypre. J. Herbin - France - 1670 Anniversary Line, since 1670. What I love most about this project is learning the history behind each ink. This ink is part of the 1670 Anniversary Line, caroube de chypre was the 5th ink release in J. Herbin's 1670 series, arriving in 2016 - one new shimmering ink color added to this collection roughly once a year, following Rouge Hematite, Ocean Bleu, Stormy Grey & Emerald of Chypre. The name, "caroube de cyprus" - named for Herbin's own fondness for the carob pods he encountered on his sailing days. Fittingly, the word "carat" is thought to trace back to the carob seed, prized historically for its remarkably consistent size & weight. She is a deep reddish-brown with warmer and richer than Herbin's Terre d'Afrique, gold flecks throughout, plus an occasional green sheen where pools on the right paper. It's a gorgeous reddish brown with stunning gold shimmer, beautiful shading, and the prettiest hint of green sheen. I love that this journal's become more than just a swatch book. It's a collection of stories. Welcome to my Ink Dossier because every ink has a story worth documenting.
