When I ordered it I kinda expected it to be a bit browner and slightly darker tbh. Could be counted amongst the lighter murky greens, I think. Tiger Snake: A mediumlight somewhat yellowbrownish green.

Also this one was bottled during VD's bottle-experimentation-phase - and the bottle here does not work well. This purchase I rather regret, it's just too similar to HatM not exactly the same -it has a little bit of brown to it- but similar enough that it's really hard to tell the difference in writing. Hastings Caves: A yellow ink with silver shimmer. Unfortunately it can spread/feather a bit on cheaper paper. Showed some serious drying issues in thicker ink splashes (not that bad in normal writing tho).īlack Tongue Spider Orchid: I bought this because of the name! 😀The color is nice too: A kind of muted/dusty purple. Black ink with 3 colors of shimmer particles: silver, gold, and purple - which combine to sort of a goldish bronze shimmer effect. Obviously not at all suitable for any official writing. Together with the shimmer pretty much the perfect moon color imo - I love it. The yellow seems to have an itsy bitsy tiny little greenish tint to it, just enough to make sure it's NOT a sunny yellow.

Howl at the Moon: A yellow ink with lots of silvery-white shimmer. Out of the VD's inks I have this is probably the most everyday usable one. A dark green-blue, slightly more on the blue side.

and unfortunately also ALL my Van Dieman's inks for the foreseeable future - as the (afaik) only EU shop that had them has stopped carrying them last fall 😞īlackened Seas: An ink in the teal family.
