Seitz Kreuznach Tundra Green

[amberleadavis]

LG, thank you for the review (and the shout out).

Actually, I find the color in the handwritten part kind of interesting, suggests something written in the 1800s that has faded over time. Probably too pale for practical use, though.

The only way to make this ink slightly less boring is giving it extreme wetness. I primed the nib, so wet that it's almost dripping:

 

It took an age to dry:

LG, your work is stunning.

Actually I was just trying to use up and get rid of this ink in the pen... To leave a place for week #3's project!

The color, once it's there, is gorgeous - very refined!

 

I had a sample of Organics Studio Gregor Mendel which was a lovely hue, but after 24hrs it still wasn't dry!

 

A usable ink in this color zone would be a lovely thing!

 

(Hmm, I stopped using Acrylic Noodler's for anything other than same day applications as the inks seemed to evaporate and condense quite rapidly - might be a perfect match!?)

There looks to be a nice grey-green in Noodler's Russian Writers series, but in some images it's Akhmatova, while in others it's Pushkin?!

Bring back Pea Green for sure!

I also had my heart broken by Organics Studio's Willow - such a lovely hue but clogged (with real lumps!) every pen I tried it in !

The description of the ink as "rinse water" but uh, my inky rinses are much brighter and prettier.

too much water added. they heard some of us love shading, now you have it.

~ The images shown in the review by Lgsoltek are highly appreciated.

Faded ink tones are useful in certain aspects of my work, therefore this ink has real appeal.

During field research this is a hue I've seen firsthand, albeit never in tundra.

Looking over the contrast photo, the faded saturation stands out.

As ever, FPN ink reviews are helpful in broadening my limited experience.

I put my sample on the radiator for 3 days. By that time, due to evaporation, it was down to 1/3 of the original volume.

 

The results when writing were almost the same as the original. The shading was darker but the unshaded areas remained so pale as to be illegible.
