Some of the olive inks from June:
The darkest (top right) is Diamine Salamander. The palest (bottom right) is Colorverse Taepyeong Seongdae. The one on the bottom left is Robert Oster Bronze, and the one on the top left is Sailor Shirakashi.
The doodles are on Stalogy paper.
📼 new YouTube video! Asmr swatching if my brown fountain pen inks!
melbourne pen show 2024 ______🖋
this was my second year going, because my holidays to visit my family in melbourne just so happen to align with the pen show again 😆
shitty photo of The Haul. i spent too much tbh but im pretty happy. i didnt get any actual pens tho which is a little funny.
the cute square packages are ink stamps that i dont want to unpackage until im home 👍
also they had a stamp for your hand so they know who has already bought a ticket, but i rlly liked it so i asked them to stamp my TN 😆😆
If I had a nickel for every time the owner of a fountain pen ink company came out as a raging bigot, I'd have fifteen cents. which is a bit concerning ngl
Swatching some inks for a pen pal
Top to bottom:
Robert Oster Violet Dreams
Troublemaker ink Petrichor
Diamine Ancient Copper
J. Herbin Rouille d’Ancre

Even this cheap paper shows some great shading. I'm also in love with this pen/ink combo.

Robert Oster/Vanness “Free Spirit”
Haul from Goulet Pens’ ink sample sale!
Highlights include empty Colorverse and Herbin 1670 bottles, a potential Robert Oster dupe for my beloved Sheaffer Turquoise (whichgotdiscontinued grumblegrumble), a lot of green overall (including 4 samples and of course the Clairefontaine notebook), searching for a favorite coral/sage green/light orange go-to ink, and Sailor Manyo Haha. It’s swabbin’ time!
Side note: I haven’t forgotten about the Galen Leather Writer’s Bag review, I’ve just gotten sidetracked with five other projects. The very short version is that if you’re obsessed with it, go for it, but Goulet Pens may offer a better experience.
