Diamine Flower Set Bougainvillea

[lgsoltek]

What a lovely colour! And the sheen! I love it. It's very close to the flowers as I remember. When I was small there were bougainvilleas in my house, but I didn't know they were called bougainvillea until recently.

Not my color.

Lovely. Do you get any sheen in the writing, or just the splash?

[Ergative]

That looks a lot like the Saguaro Wine/Yama Budo crowd. In fact, the sheen seems quite like what I've read of Yama Budo.

 

It also looks just like the bougainvilleas I used to see everywhere in Berkeley.

I wonder how this compares to R&K Solferino.

[Pensei]

I like it. I can't see that word without thinking of Raymond Chandler.

A little bit, but not much. It's also dependant on paper.

You keep hawking these loud colors and I'm beginning to buy into it! XcO

I remember really liking this one when i tried it, but I don't offhand remember it having sheen. Need to pull it out again and try it on better paper.

And to answer Ergative: no, it really isn't like Yama-budo (which is darker and more red-violet; Bougainvillea is brighter and more magenta-pink). Don't have Saguaro Wine, so I couldn't say -- but now that I have King Philip's Requiem (the LE ink from last fall's Commonwealth Pen Show), I should think about doing a side by side between KPR and Bougainvillea....

Thanks for the review.

This color is gorgeous and I love bougainvilleas! It's very tempting.
