16 May 2024 – Private Reserve Copper Burst


This may be one of my more favorite colors of the 18 Private Reserve inks I currently own, largely because it has that “coppery feel”. Seems to be a pattern; if you’re going to give your ink a name that evokes something identifiable as color, the ink better deliver that sense. Copper Burst certainly does (by the way this is not a shimmer ink, which one might expect from so many inks with metallic names).

“The finest workers in stone are not cooper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time.” -Henry David Thoreau. “He was the sort of person who stood on mountaintops during thunderstorms in wet copper armor shouting ‘All the gods are bastards.’” -Terry Pratchett
