Thank you so much for reviewing this color. I've been wondering about it for quite awhile. And thank you for the many other reviews you've recently posted!

Hah! Funny...I had written up (but not scanned) a mini-review of Amaranth with a line of Arabian Rose, too. The two colors are very, very close. Your pair looks more similar than mine. To me, Amaranth looks like Arabian Rose with the blue-tint removed.

I hadn't used my Arabian Rose until I got a letter from Roger and that was the ink he'd used. It immediately got me thinking how similar it is to the Amaranth. I think you've summed it up nicely, the Arabian Rose is like the Amaranth with a tinge more blue in it.

Just opened a new bottle of PR's Burgundy Mist and was disappointed in the color, as I expected a little more "red" in the "burgundy". Had a sample bottle of this Amaranth, so mixed a little half-n-half solution of PR Burgundy and Amaranth and now have an interesting color combined with a little shading.

 

Interesting look, just sorry I don't have a scanner so i can post a picture

OK, dizzypen is taking Diamine Amaranth off the want list, so I'll add it to my want-list! Really like this color! Thanks for the good review.

Ok, Amaranth is back on the wish list. Arabian Rose has been giving me the blues lately. I don't remember it being this thin and feathery, but it is driving me nuts!

And how can this be, because he is the Kwisatz Haderach.

Amaranth....well mine looks like... um...wine. Shading is more evenly distributed/gradated all along the letters. Nice color...different vibe with a cursive nib. Darkens a bit when dry on Claire.

I just bought both of these inks. I guess I'll open one when the other is empty! :headsmack:

Also bought the amaranth from Ian at the Northern show - I seem to remember you pointing it out Carrie. Used it today at a creative writing workshop as part of our towns book and arts festival. Flowing from an Etruria it seemed to help my flow of thought - ended up with a bit of blood shed though for my 'hero'...

When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.

My Arabian Rose looks a lot darker than the sample here. Of course, I'm also dispensing it from BB and 1.3 stubs as well. :unsure:

      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

      @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
