Pelikan Edelstein Amber "ink Of The Year 2013"

[amberleadavis]

That's like Beetlejuice right?

 

Anyway, I will have to buy a bottle of Amber ink .... because ... well .... I like the color. Not because of the name or anything.

If it's something akin to Sheaffer King's Gold, I'd be interested in it!

 

The picture in the bottle looks to me darker than Kings Gold and lighter than Copper Burst. I'm thinking of trying it which is why I Googled for more info.

 

I found out the hard way that it wasn't actually Kings Gold I liked - it was the lovely bronze color I got when I put Kings Gold in a pen that had been incompletely flushed of some brand of blue-black, oops ;-)I still have quite a bit of the Kings Gold and have been thinking of trying to mix it with something to get the color I thought I was buying.

 

And I love Copper Burst in the Cross Sauvage Python.

 

So I still think I will give Amber a try. A little pricey, but a bottle of ink lasts a long time for me because I keep switching between different favorite pens and different inks.

I'm hoping for something like Ambre de Birmanie, my favourite Herbin colour.

Can't wait to see how it looks. I'm a big fan of brown inks. If it has decent shading, I'll probably pick up a bottle.

I really like edelstein inks, especially when here I can't find a lot of ink manufactures.

It is very nice to have ink of the year selection, and from 2012 ink of the year I am very satisfied.

I am waiting for the new ink of the year, 2013. I am sure It would be a very nice addition and a worth buying.

Can I drink it?

[amberleadavis]

Paperballs, do you and Plistumi hang out? Here she is drinking her Akkerman ink in front of the TSA agent.

Heavens, thank you for that picture. I think I just lost my appetite. Anything to lose a few pounds.

Hmmm...my favorite jewelry is usually made from amber, my fragrance is amber paste, and Zelazny - well, all others ARE but shadows! This ink is beautiful in the bottle. I'd love to see it on paper.

Oh DobeMom - you are after my heart - I have a sample with your name it if you can PM the name of my son. PS he's not the oldest child.

I really like edelstein inks and I will definitely try this one too.

 

Here in Greece are selling for 12.8 ευρώ.

I'm not really sure I would like to purchase Amber, since my Topaz ended up so much like the Waterman South Seas Blue I already have, and people have been saying here that the Edelstein Amber is a lot like one of the J. Herbins.

[GutSchrift]

I saw a few reviews and I think the color is far nicer than the J. Herbin. In fact its the only Edelstein that I thought possibly worth the ludicrous price.

[amberleadavis]

Did you look at the reviews. It is a great ink.

It looks a lot like Diamine sepia on my monitor.

I agree that it's much nicer than the J Herbin which looks thin and watery to me. It's a lovely ink.

[rabiosocorazon]

I see this ink in action in a review of Stephen Brown. Beautiful.

[mgm1988]

Its like Pears soap on the page - lovely!

[Opooh]

Tried it, but not my stuff, too yellowish and it doesn't jump out of the sheet, lack of vibrations.
