In today’s post I’ll share another ink that I thought might be orangey-peach, but didn’t end up that way. I’m talking about Van Dieman’s Tassie Seasons Salmon (30mL for $17.00). I found this one while I was looking for peachy ink samples this spring and well, I digress. Tassie Salmon is a beautiful red ink…

Ink Review: Montblanc Origin Collection
I can’t say no to Montblanc ink, especially new special edition colors. Montblanc’s newest line is The Origin Collection and was released as a celebration of 100 years of the Meisterstück collection. The boxes are foiled with gold or silver in a design inspired by pen designs from the beginning of the collection. The three…
Sailor Jentle Peche (spoiler alert – it’s not peach!)
Recently Ana handed me a few more samples for the “peach files” that I’ve been putting together this year. But the spoiler is that today’s ink isn’t peach at all, it’s pink!

Ink Review: Sailor Manyo, Anniversary Set

Ink Review: Robert Oster Peach
I only have a few more ink samples in my quest to find the perfect peach fuzz ink for 2024. I can let you know that not only did I buy one sample twice (oops!), none of them are going to give us that ethereal look like the Pantone color. And today’s color is no…
