Perodit Green is nice and joyous shade of green. I quite enjoy it althoug I wouldn't buy it. I have J. Herbin's Vert Pre in stock and while it's not necessarily better it's enough for me at the moment

Gorgeous ink and wonderful review, as always.

 

It's interesting, it immediately reminded me of a green I really enjoy using:

 

[Barkingpig]

It reminds me of Bung Box HAPPINESS (BUT it doesn't have Pikachu on the box!)

which I enjoy as a "Spring" time ink so I have a felling I am "taken care of."

Lovely review - thanks!

Aww, Steve, you just whipped that one out of my mouth....

[visvamitra]

I prefer Peridot to Delicate Green. Delicate Green review is ready and will be published in few days and I can only tell you I was disappointed.

Lovely review! I like the colour but as you and others have mentioned, I've already got my bright green needs taken care of.

 

And as a note, a silly note I know, I've noticed that you've changed paper towel brands and I miss the pretty patterns of your old ones. Lol. Don't mind me. I appreciate all your hard work and painstaking attention to detail.
