Opus 88 Demo Twilight Sonata & Wearingeul Call of the Cthulhu ✨ New Pen & Ink Day!

[@charis_explores]

Congratulations on your first review pen! Such an exciting milestone 🎉

[@gingerpeachy]

Thank you so much!

Opus 88 + DiamondCast resin + an ink based on creepy H.P. Lovecraft stories is such a fun combination!

I;ve take Opus 88 pens on long long plane rides (for instance US -> India) and never had a problem with leaking. They are one of my favorite brands.

[@gingerpeachy]

They make really good pens! And it's good to hear from someone who has had a good experience with them on planes - admittedly I haven't flown with FPs, only because I haven't flown since before I deep-dived into the hobby.

Congratulations on the collaboration with Goldspot. Rachelle in Seattle

[@gingerpeachy]

Thank you so much!!

[@wildlyimaginable]

Totally loving your new pen! Think Tom did right by you in sending you this pen cause I’ve just been penabled 😁 You explained its mechanism so well I just went ahead and bought my 1st Opus 88 (an Omar). What!!!: Been looking at getting one for a little while now (mainly to use with my parallel nib) and even had a discount leftover to apply towards it. So cool this being your 1st review too. Congrats Sarah! 🥳

[@gingerpeachy]

Thank you Grace! I hope you love your new pen, too!

[@wildlyimaginable]

@@gingerpeachy Oh, I know I will. ☺

[@cerealnana]

Fantastic that you were sent a pen to review! It is a gorgeous pen! I love my Opus 88 Omar. I have not tried the demo.

[@gingerpeachy]

It was so exciting! I had not tried the Demo, either. I'm honestly surprised at how much I like it!

[@FranM6179]

That is a beautiful pen. I have an Opus 88 Omar and a Koloro and I enjoy them both. I love Goldspot too. I just recently learned about the rewards program and was happy to see all of my past purchases were accounted for when I signed up!

[@gingerpeachy]

How nice to sign up and find points already waiting for you! Opus 88 really does a great job. I liked the Koloro - I had one and sold it just because I wasn't in love with the colorway. But maybe I'll have to have another one at some point!

[@sushanart]

Nice pen with a beautiful nib! 😇🩷🙏🙌

[@gingerpeachy]

It really is! They did a great job with this one!

[@Tina.Journals]

The pen is beautiful and the ink is nice too. I enjoy sheening inks when the sheen is subtle and accentuates the base color.

[@gingerpeachy]

Yes, if sheen was always subtle, I wouldn't be as anti-sheen as I am. I just don't like it overpowering the whole ink color, because then what's the point of having a base color?

[@MarcellHobbs]

Beautiful pen! The Organics Studio Nitrogen ink would play well with this pen. Love the black nib. When using my Opus 88s, I find that if I put back the plunger and push forward slowly, it helps to force ink into to nib feed.

[@gingerpeachy]

I thought about trying that, but I was worried I'd push ink out and onto my desk, haha! Next time I will try, though. Yes, it's so pretty - and you're right about Nitrogen, though I gave my bottle away. It was too sheeny for me!

[@renois1]

Hey Sarah Congrats 🎉❤ on receiving your first review pen it's beautiful 😍. I am looking for a new Opus 88 but unfortunately I'm saddened by the color only because I have the Federalist's Pens Exclusive Red, White, Blue pen that is so similar to this Opus 88 colorway that it broke my 💔. I want a special Opus 88 for my super flex nib I just got. I wanted to pair it with an eyedropper pen that would stand up to the Inky needs. Anyway sorry for rambling Congrats again hun!!!

[@gingerpeachy]

An eyedropper like this would be perfect for a super flex nib! I hope you find the perfect pen for you! And thank you for your congratulations!

[@PlanYourOneLife]

That pen is stunning! 😮

[@gingerpeachy]

It's really so pretty! Dark and moody, which is not usually my taste, but this one is an exception!

[@Heidejournal]

Congratulations on getting this pen for review ! It is stunning ! I love the diamondcast material. I have 2 Opus 88 Demos already, so I will probably not get this one, even though I am as often tempted by the limited edition… :) Also, I just ordered a pen from Goldspot which is still on the way to me (Benu Euphoria Pink Champagne;) and now I have to go on a little low spend, I believe… :D

[@gingerpeachy]

Ooh the Pink Champagne is so pretty! I have managed to hold off on that one thus far, but it might be in my future. I hope you enjoy it!!

[@Joliaux76]

Thanks, at 9:20 what is the nib and the nib holder you use ? Thanks for your help :)

[@gingerpeachy]

Apologies for the delay - the nib holder is an inexpensive Speedball nib holder from the craft store, and the nib is just a spare Jinhao nib from an old Jinhao x750! Just something I cobbled together from what I already had!

[@Joliaux76]

@@gingerpeachy thanks, lovely 👍

[@arliemoses4272]

No interest in the pen, but I’m definitely buying the ink.

[@gingerpeachy]

It's a really pretty ink! I've been enjoying it all day today in this pen. I was unsure about it since sheen isn't my favorite thing, but truthfully I'm okay with it in this ink! I hope you enjoy it, too!

[@arliemoses4272]

I’m not a fan of high-sheen inks either, but this ink looks fairly muted in this ink, plus I’ll use it with a fine nib so it should be perfect. Already ordered. Thank you for testing it!!
