History of Shimmering Inks
Shimmering inks have been around for centuries and were often used in calligraphy and other forms of art. In the past, shimmering inks were made by grinding minerals like gold and silver into a powder and mixing them with ink. Today, modern shimmering inks are made with synthetic materials like mica, which produce a similar effect.
How Shimmering Inks Work
Shimmering inks work by using a suspension of glitter or mica particles in the ink. These particles are typically too heavy to stay suspended in the ink, so they settle at the bottom of the container. To use the ink, you must shake the container vigorously to redistribute the particles throughout the ink. When you write with shimmering ink, the glitter or mica particles are evenly dispersed throughout the ink and leave a shimmering trail on the paper.
