Van Pen 86 ftw! It’s gorgeous!

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

So happy I spontaneously purchased it!

[@MissMarilynDarling]

I would totally put that blue one in my noodlers Konrad :)

The 530 is really pretty. It's sad that the Dutch Moorland is discontinued. It's an intriguing kind of ink, the kind I'm getting more and more into. Sepia Hour was a little light but the swatch was nice. Looking forward to your swatches on different papers! 😇💜🙏🙌

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Thank you! Yes, sad that some inks get discontinued but glad for the chance to try them. 🥰

These are so interesting Karyna! I currently have DI's Autumn Forest in one of my Esties and you're spot on with the comparison to RO's Van Pen 86! DI Dutch Mooreland is really cool! I like that a lot & Sepia Hour looks quite unique. That said, I have mixed feelings about Troublemaker inks as well. There are a some I really like but I ended up purchasing several back when they were really tough to acquire like during covid - without ever trying them - and I'm just kind of meh about some of them. I definitely don't think shimmers are their forte. Some of their inks may be good for art but not necessarily for writing; at least that's been my experience...🤷🏻‍♀️

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Thanks Roxie! I have been hit or miss with Troublemaker but I am loving the Sepia Hour!

The Van Pen 86 is fantastic. Might be my favorite of the bunch.The first three are probably the best out of the five for me. Thank you for sharing

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Vanpen86 was definitely a spontaneous purchase but glad I bought it!

[@Adventuresover40]

@ Those are the little treasures to remember.

Love that Dominant Industry ink. And the Sailor Studio one drys to a very beautiful pink.

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Thank you! Yes, the Dominant Industry is so interesting!

[@pilesofthings]

love the van pen 86! Perfect colour for a Canadian November 🍂

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

I agree - it's perfect for the fall!

[@cerealnana]

I don't use dip nib inks that much either but they seem to be gaining in popularity lately.

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

I think they would be so cool for painting!

[@Journalesq]

why is dutch moorland discontinued? I immediately wanted that color lol

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

I know, right?! Why are all the best ones always discontinued?!

[@Volkmannx]

Sigh, KZbin teasing me with Unobtanium inks again. Anyway, thank you!

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Haha sorry! 😅

Hi, are you still in Vancouver? If you haven't been to Paper-Ya on Granville Island, maybe drop by the store, I think you would really feel at home there (and then grab a doughnut at Lee's afterwards.) Disclaimer: I have zero affiliation with Paper-Ya or with Lee's

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Thanks for the recommendation! I was in Vancouver a few weeks ago for work.

[@ainime88]

you should stick a swatch of alexandrite under the sun - it'll change colour

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Going to try that!
