I70. Moon Palace Sumi Ink
Moon Palace Sumi
The Ink is now in a bottle with a Gold Label
While the packaging is a bit different , this is the highly sought after and highly recommended Japanese Sumi Ink. For both broad edge and pointed pen work. Dries waterproof. A great calligraphy ink.
"I like Moon Palace better, but both Moon Palace and Best Bottle are beautiful inks. The Moon Palace has a slight sheen to it, which I like. Michael suggested this ink to me so please tell him I said "thank you". I just finished a job of 200 invitations with Moon Palace and the ink is beautiful. I did not dilute the ink.
A client just brought me invitations (slick paper) to address. This bride knew going in to this that I probably couldn't do pointed pen. However, for fun, I tried the Sumi inks and to my surprise they worked pretty darn good. I usually have to use a sharpie on slick envelopes, yikes!!!"
--Clair F., Jan 2011.

I71. Kaimei Sumi Ink
I71. Kaimei Sumi Ink.
This hard to find Artist Grade Sumi is Gemma Black’s favorite ink. She enjoys its distinct and pleasant scent and notes that it will produce very fine hair lines. For pointed pen, she uses it straight from the bottle. For broad-edged work, she dilutes it 2/3s ink and 1/3 water. The one oz size comes in a wide mouth glass jar. Try this new Sumi calligraphy ink.
Choice of sizes:
1oz (30ml) $5.00
6oz (180ml) $10.95

S385. 12in Rolling Ruler
12" Rolling Ruler
Use this tool to speed up making pencil guide line. Draw your first guideline. Then make a single column of dots or small marks for each subsequent line. Line the rolling ruler or parallel guide on the first mark. Then you roll down and draw you guidelines at your marks. The ruler keeps the lines parallel. Mark your paper using a ruler, template or dividers with tick marks. Great for drawing guidelines for text blocks on larger works where a t-square is not practical.
