Pleasant enough and I must compare it to the Diamine Lavender as well.

Nice color and like the sheen. Looks like good dry times, too. Do I really need another purple ink...? Maybe.... :rolleyes:

Thanks for the review.

Nice! I like those purple inks that sheen gold. Now I'm trying to remember if real pansies do the same thing. Certainly, they have that "glow" factor in the petals under direct sunlight...

I really like this one, especially for the sheen. It feels so rich. Would you put up a side by side of Pansy and Lavender. I haven't the latter (shockingly!)

Very good dry times and the sheen took my breath away. I think every woman needs another purple ink to match with that outfit, wouldn't you say?

Sparkles and a fabulous purple. Win-win, I'd say. Yes I have seen Pansies shimmering away in the sunlight.

Actually it's somewhere between the Lavender and Diamine Grape, I'd say.

Thank you! It really is lovely. The shading in your sample is fabulous. Phil et al do it again!

This one is lovely! As everyone mentioned, the sheen is superb!

 

Thank you for all the reviews! So far, this one and Gerbera jumped out at me! I agree that Tulip seems more orange than red, but on its own it is also lovely.

You are most welcome. I have been writing quite a lot with tulip, it is, I think, one of the truest reds I have written with. It is very difficult to capture red with a camera (oh the poppies I have chased...) It is a glorious colour. As for the sheen, it really took my breath away - it is fabulous!

That sheen is amazing !

Yes, it is wild. I wasn't expecting that at all! Reminds me of the properties of Sargasso Sea; very exciting.

Oh, my! It's hopeless now. After seeing Pansy, Marigold, and Gerbera, I must have this set!

I know the feeling! I have just received my MB Oyster Grey after reading a couple of reviews. Oh the enablers... what to do!?

Love the way you capture the sheen in your pics Bhavna. The shading is superb too.

 

This color is the best in this collection, closely followed by Cornflower.

Thank you. I am glad you like the inks. Yes I do love sheen and it is quite a deal to capture it!

I've got Pansy in a really wet flex at the moment, and it's *lovely*. The dry time is especially good if, like me, you're using not-terribly-absorbent paper. The weather here's been terrible so I haven't been able to look at it under bright sunlight, which is usually the best way to see sheen: but I've found that turning the little white LED on the back of my phone on using a Torch app and shining that at it at an angle shows it up BEAUTIFULLY. It's really gold and sparkly.

 

(Buggered if I can photograph it accurately, though - what's your secret, Bhavna?)

Weird angles at the window when the sun is out. I wonder what the neighbours think....? I like your LED Torch approach!

This collection is just fabulous. Thank you for sharing!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
