Noodler's Blue Nose Bear

 

Full review is on my to do list, but this is a little example:

I used to call this "outlining" or "edging", but "halo-ing" sounds cooler. Another typical halo-ing ink is Ancient Copper.

 

Not too sure of that House Divided though. I don't see much of halo-ing. I think they are just using feathering (IMO a lack of quality) as a selling-point.

I call it a Halo effect

House Divided, it is an intriguing ink...

 

On the swap card you see the light blue feathering.

 

Another interesting aspect of this ink is shown in the writing with the Pelikan, it is kind of railroading within the ink.

If you enlarge the picture you can see it clearly.

 

I like a lot of the Noodler's inks, but they are definitely a breed apart.

Thanks for putting a bunch of these in the same place; I love haloing inks for writing. The combination of shading and haloing is a lot of fun. I think among all my inks, Himeajisai (Kobe 57) is my favorite halo-er.

Took a look at that one, very interesting!!! Now I want it! The purpose of this thread is NOT to make me buy more inks!!!

[crahptacular]

I think on these forums, regardless of their purpose, threads inevitably tend towards temptation... it's a dangerous place

How do we start to covet?

We covet what we see...

I've only experienced halo-ing with one ink, in one pen. That was KWZ Grapefruit. I was using it a Parker Vector, where it laid down very thick, almost like enamel model paint, with an even coating of silver sheen. Then I tried it in my M300 and the silver outlined the orange line with a halo effect.

It has to be really really thick. Of course on a scan you cannot really see it, but the cotton swap at the bottom with three layers shows (some) sheen.
