And here's an image I've just received from Diamine, showing the desired or craved overall effect...!

Looks rather tempting, doesn't it????

OH no. It's so cute.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Awesome. Any idea on availability in the US?

I went for the whole set. Somehow I knew the thought of having a half-completed circle would gnaw at me so I thought I'd just save time and give in right from the start.

 

My thought exactly. But in the middle of moving house so I will resist for another month. Looking forward to all the reviews. Please let us know if there is any water resistance here....

I am no longer very active on FPN but feel free to message me. Or send me a postal letter!

I've prepared two papers to do just that but it won't be until tomorrow so will scan and post as soon as I can.

A quick snap of the set. I'm not sure which one I'll start with but I think it'll be a toss-up between Safari and Teracotta.

I can't buy any more blues, I've run out of space in my log.

Very nice. Maybe it's time for an additional page in the log. Nice collection of inks. I like the Diamine Bottle Circle.

You know, you don't have to buy eight different inks to make the circle. You could buy duplicates.

 

Or you could make more than one circle. :D

Managed to get out of bed, suffering with man flu for the third day now and load Terracotta into my Vac 700 and the Blue Velvet into my 540.

Wow.

It took a lot to evict Ancient Copper from the Vac 700 and the Terracotta is a dream to use.
The Blue Velvet is gorgeous. What a colour. I only own three blues so this one has really blown me away. Love it.
Reviews will follow when the pox has left my system . . .

Do you know whether Safari resembles R&K's Alt Goldgrun in terms of colour and shading?

The swatches I see on websites look quite different but less so when looking at writing samples.

It looks very similar. It also looks similar to Mb Daniel Defoe.

 

I have ordered Safari directly from Diamine, and am waiting for it to come in the mail.

The circle of ink bottles is terribly appealing. I wish I liked more of the colors. I am resisting so far. Moving house. Will not buy more stuff to move. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! So far...

 

The bottles remind me of little wedges of cheese.

Trivial Pursuit! (Though that is six, not eight.) I am waiting for the little piece to hold them together.
