Very nice display! I bought the ink with hopes that it would be like Rouge Hématite or Émeraude de Chivor, but it was really dull in comparison. Hope your batch was more interesting...

It's okay. It happened for a reason.

I now have a new favourite mug from Emma Lacey and now that autumn is closing in you can hold the mug in your hand, using the most perfect thumb grip, and feel the warmth of the coffee.

Thank you for the offer! I'm still debating whether I should pay that much for a mug...

[Tas]

I did the same thing.

Rotring Sevilla Red. Rotring doesn't make inks any more. I have only a few drops of this left, maybe enough for another pen refill. But enough to make a sample to preserve here. It is a very slow-drying ink on Clairefontaine paper.

So, this Diamine SBRE Brown...how would I get my greedy hands on a quantity?

 

This is my downfall, of course: falling in love with something they made three bottles of.

Rotring Sevilla Red

 

I just found some decade-old papers written with this ink, and the ink from then has more red tones than appear in the scan I posted above. It's actually more of a true red with an orange cast. The bottle had leaked while in storage, so I think it was exposed to air and the dyes have changed.

 

I'll try to post a scan of a comparison of "then" vs. "now". One thing is that the "now" ink takes a very long time to dry on the page, so I am likely to discard the remainder.
