/Today’s ink is Ferris Wheel Press Lores of the Loch from the Bestiary Series. You can find this ink for sale at some retailers including Vanness Pens.
The color:
Lores of the Loch is a medium lime green with shimmer.
*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.
Swabs:
In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has lots of rose gold shimmer.
Writing samples:
Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm, as well as on cheap copy paper.

Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)
Dry time: 30 seconds
Water resistance: Low
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
Bleeding: None
Other properties: medium shading, no sheen, and rose gold shimmer.
On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and bleeding in all nib sizes.

Longer Writing:
I used a Kaweco Sport Apple with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a slightly dry flow.
Overall, I like the color, but I wouldn’t usually pair lime green with rose gold. It’s just not a great match in my mind. I would rather see silver shimmer with this green since I think it looks better. Other than that it’s pretty well behaved, but a little dry.
