Dear Friends,



It is my pleasure and honour to share the latest Shimmer Inks from Diamine due to be released this month. There are 12 colours and I have been able to review them all thanks to Diamine. I welcome your thoughts and feedback, as always. This colour has been so much fun to use despite it being very punchy.

This one looks quite nice with the gold particles.

 

It is stunning - i think one of my top four with Magenta, Enchanted Ocean... and Inferno Orange!

Thanks for the review.

This is one I can pass on. The gold with the green is nice, but I don't like the underlying color -- it's just not a green I could see myself using.

Same comment as the other one. But this one I would also use.

Tempting. I have 8 of the 10 from the first round of Diamine shimmering inks (now that I know it was a first round).

 

I've used one so far, Brandy Dazzle.

 

I hope to see more reviews of Green Oasis. It might would be a nice Spring green.

First off, Brandy Dazzle is epic. But that's a tangent.

 

I am going to mix this with the black/silver to get the green dark enough for my taste, and I suspect this will work very very well.

 

Thank you for the review.

I agree with you about Brandy Dazzle. It was my favourite from the original set. Golden Oasis is a really nice bright green ink that was voted as one of the favourites on here when I asked for votes for new colours.

It is a gorgeous spring green - it was difficult to capture the vibrance in the images. I need to revisit Brandy Dazzle!

That sounds spectacular - please do share images of your creation! I think a darkish green with gold would be very nice!

 

Thank you for the review...

 

My absolute pleasure

      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
