“No, Officer, I’m not inhaling the wax fumes.” We’ll vouch for you, David, if you get arrested for lighting up.
I have a very old seal with a wood handle that is flat on the side that is the bottom. It’s so simple and brilliant. If i need to make more than seal, I rest the stamp on a blue-ice type rectangle.
I suppose it makes sense that a swamp-creature ink would have good water resistance, but I want expecting it have that much staying power. Bonus!
I just got my box and need to get the ink into a pen today.
I always enjoy your ink reviews because of the interesting content you share in your writing samples. I do want to know what happened to those chimps. I hope they reveled in their freedom and did, indeed, adapt.
Thank you for the review!
For those not from Southeast Louisiana, the Honey Island Swamp is a real place just north of New Orleans adjacent to the Louisiana/Mississippi state line. It is a popular area for hunting and hiking. Parts of the year it is mostly flooded, but in late fall and winter it is lovely and dry. I have spent many pleasant hours just wandering aimlessly around hoping I will be able to find my way back out! I am going to have to trek down to the French Quarter to pick up a bottle of this ink. If you are ever in New Orleans, you will probably venture into the Quarter at some point. Make sure to visit the shop. It is a tiny place with a feel of antiquity. For a small shop they have loads of journals, pens, inks, and other interesting stationery supplies.
As usual I went on the site to buy a bottle. Just for the story, it was worth it. Rachelle in Seattle
Thanks for the interesting review. You added informational comments are very enjoyable.
Got your letter today my friend! I worked with Hank Bauer and Ted Leitner at KFMB-TV. Loved the wax seal. And the writing sample! Thank you for your kindness.
Very funny name as the Japanese call fountain pen ink collecting The Ink Swamp 😂. I've ordered a bottle just for the Bigfoot stamp. The olive green ink, wax sticks and gold are a bonus 👌
