{"product_id":"diamine-x-art-from-the-heart-fluster-cluck","title":"Diamine x Art from the Heart Fluster Cluck — 4ml Fountain Pen Ink Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHue:\u003c\/strong\u003e Officially a deep blue. On my swatches it reads very differently – the written line and swab bar come across as a dark plum-maroon, because the heavy sheen covers much of the blue base. The blue shows through as a periwinkle halo at the edges of swabs and in thinner areas. Expect blue in lighter-laydown pens and on absorbent paper, and plum-burgundy where the sheen takes over. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShading:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate. It moves from blue at the edges to red-brown in the pooled areas, with visible separation where the ink thins out. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSheen:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy. A rusty cola-brown to copper sheen that covers most of the swab and appears even in handwriting on Tomoe River. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShimmer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver.

The name is a polite rearrangement of a much less polite phrase for total chaos. It fits a range that also includes Damp Squib and Throttle Bottom. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a hand-decanted 4ml sample vial from my own bottle.
