In good news; new ink arrived. In not so good news; I gambled with filling up a couple more pens than normal and now have no spare pens to try these inks in.

As the old meme goes ; Man I took a calculated risk, but boy am I bad at maths.

Inks are AftH X Diamine Arthur Job and Oh betty's.

As it was my birthday I took the opportunity to polish off my ink collection and fill in the missing holes in my ink themes.

This is the last of Diamine x Cult pens Wonder's of the world collection and the rest of the normal wine themed inks that Diamine do.

Prussian blue also made it in as I prefer dusky colours for the most part. That preference is something I never would have guessed when I was staring out.

Out of this set I've only tried Autumn Oak so far, in my Kaweco EF. It reminds me of a tree trunk photo after I've dialed the saturation up 50 percent. I'd say its fittingly named.

Shading wise the colour varies from a light oak barrel to oak tree log left out in the rain. I'd say its fittingly named.

That's me done with getting new inks for a long, long, loooongggggggg while. I collected all the ones in my themes so now it's time to enjoy using them.

I tried Van Dieman’s Sacagawea on a couple of different papers. The Dickens quote is on a cheap HP watercolour paper and Create It is on Iroful. This ink has some pretty shading.

Another couple of new inks, Diamine Safari and Van Dieman’s Sacagawea. I like them both a lot. I need to try them on some different papers, this is Clairefontaine.

I just got this ink, Sailor Kusa Asobi - Yukiusagi. I can’t stop scribbling with it. When it first goes down it looks like the zigzag at the bottom but as it dries it turns into a lovely blur/brown/grey colour.

Trying out Hongdian Coral ink. It’s nice, a bit of shading, smooth flowing, 60ml wide necked stable bottle.

These are the most Phaelon and Crater coded inks I have found.

Now I've just got to continue running down a TWSBI so I can stick Failing Upwards into it. Fluster Cluck is also my first and only shimmer :)

(Diamine x Art from the Heart - Fluster Cluck + Failing Upwards)
