The jury's still out on this one but I suspect there will be a re-trial!

Is that gold tinted sheen I'm seeing in the closeup? Nice. Although I'm not thrilled with the dry time, I've seen worse.

This is an interesting color. Thanks for the review.

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Quite accurate representation of the real flower, I'd say. And that's the whole point, isn't it? Love the sheen, as always!

Sheen junkie, flex nib enthusiast, and all-around lover of fountain pens...

They *all* seem very representative of the actual colours of the flowers, which is something of an achievement, and it's what I've enjoyed so much about seeing reviews so far. I kind of felt that Diamine missed a trick with the Music set last year; the colours seemed so arbitrarily assigned. (Beethoven is green, Vivaldi is purple and Tchaikovsky is blue? Who knew?)

I am loving the set and this is particularly delicious in a dipped, broad, italic nib. I have some more shots which I will upload as soon as I find what I seek in them..!

Hi Ruth, yes gold sheen although I am disappointed with the shot. After 3.5 hours of playing with the pictures to get them on here I lost the will. However, it's a new day, it's a new dawn... so I will start again! Yes the dry time is pretty long, but this is a glorious shade with incredible qualities.

Agree, it is gloriously vibrant and with a beautiful gold sheen and lovely shading - really, what more can anyone want?

I loved the Music Collection, but I was somewhat confused by the links. I do think of Beethoven as that deep, silky green...

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
