Ink Review: IWI Colors of Nature Spring Equinox

After feeling like I failed the assignment miserably with Diamine Peach Haze, I went ahead and looked at a variety of other inks that might fit the Pantone Color of the Year – Peach Fuzz variety. Today I’m looking at IWI Colors of Nature Spring Equinox ($3.75 for a 4mL sample from Vanness). Spring Equinox is a delightfully peachy, melon colored ink, in which I can see elements or orange, pink…

Drop the $50 fountain pen stationary sites 🥺

my favourite places to snoop around are cultpens [best ink selection in the UK imo], jetpens, andy's pens [mix of old stock and vintage stuff], the writing desk and thepencompany. gouletpens has a youtube channel that i keep abreast of but i don't like buying from them because they're obsessed with noodler's who i fucking hate. fountain pen network is a great resource but website seems to be down right now. i'm gonna use this as an excuse to waffle now bc i love pens thank you.

at the moment i'm most interested in the TWSBI iris colourways (rainbow anodised metal !!!) [piston fill / vac fill] also their rose gold and jade green eco-t. i like the look and feel of brass pens, there's a few available but the traveler's company one seems to have best reviews atm. kaweco's is a very nice design though. have heard good things about opus88 and i have my eye on the halo. conklin duragraph is a lot less fun looking than most pens i'm into but they are really nice to write with and last forever.

this one [sailor hi-ace neo] is actually very cheap but are apparently the best starter calligraphy pens available right now. ferris wheel press have this gorgeous pen i'm very curious about but i've never tried any of their ink.

my favourite that i own so far is moonman c1. completely impractical for carrying around with me but i insist on doing it anyway. i really like lamy nibs but all the ones i like the look of have irritatingly tiny ink capacity. most of the time i'm just using a set of beat up old wing sun 3008s because you can get 4 for less than 20£ on amazon and as long as you take care of the nibs they're very hardwearing. it's basically the store brand version of a TWSBI diamond so i would recommend those over the 3008 if you can afford it.

some of my favourite inks: l'artisan pastellier [callifolio equinoxe 6 / classic vert lumiere] robert oster [signature blue denim] pilot [iroshizuku yama-budo / tsutstuji / tsukushi] diamine [soft mint / earl grey / writer's blood / monboddo's hat / peach haze] herbin [bleu calanque]

i also desperately still want this colorverse special edition set the colours are soooooo nice [new horizons]. for years you couldn't buy colorverse anywhere in the uk so now that it's available here it's taking immense self-control to not go absolutely batshit.

and honorable mention to this bad boy because she's 140$ but i want her so bad: YSTUDIO classic revolve

Ink Review: Diamine Peach Haze

As is my tradition these days, when Pantone announces the color of the year, I start looking for ink options to match. This year I have to say I have mixed feelings. Pantone chose Peach Fuzz. The photos are really ethereal and warm looking and just create so much feeling. And then there’s the Pantone chip itself which sort of looks like a bandaid. But still, traditions are traditions, and I was…

 I was never good in art class growing up. I remember during 6th grade art when our teacher was teaching us shading and I literally took it as having a shade (like when you're under a tree 🤣). And seeing the wonderful posts of the amazing people of an FPN group i belong to with their lines in drawings and color mixtures in their artwork that just blows me away. Especially with how the lines and colors speak to them. Fast forward to the present and I still haven't progressed as much. I guess that's why I opted for the Social Sciences. 🤣 ‌So amidst watching Cocomelon, Baby Einsteins with #ourlittlepilinut we chanced upon old episodes of Madeline (the one who lived in an old house in Paris covered with vines). The artwork seemed so simple to copy. So... I humored myself. "The purpose of art is to console and amuse—myself, and, I hope, others." - Ludwig Bemelmans (Author of Madeline) P.S. I'm also a work in progress and there's a lot in life that needs to be processed especially with this pandemic going on, but let's be kind to ourselves and remember that even if our name isn't Madeline, we are all GREAT!

Diamine Aqua Blue

Aqua is one of my happy colors especially in a transparent pen. While going through old color swatches, I came across a squiggle of Diamine Aqua Blue and that squiggle is all the use it ever got. Nothing wrong with it, but other colors clamored more loudly for attention and so it got pushed to the back of the shelf.

Two days ago Aqua looked just right so the bottle moved to the front of the…
