Back Again!

Posted on June 19, 2013 by thisissuzy

The past two months have been a bit crazy, but I’ve managed to fit in some “Suzy time” with some of my favorite art supplies. Of course I still love my fountain pens, just needed to change it up a bit. Enjoy the pics!

: Walnut Drawing Ink: Possibly the best substance on Earth!

: Graphite on handmade paper

: Pitt Oil Pencil in Leuchtturm 1917 master book (By far my favorite paper both for pencil and pen & ink!)

: Stones lithographic crayon and Mitsubishi marking pencil. Love!

Diamine Music Ink Set!

Posted on January 31, 2013 by thisissuzy

Standard

What’s better than one new Diamine ink? TEN of them! Yes, thanks to the wonderful people at Goulet Pens, my Diamine Music set arrived today! It took me about 1.4 milliseconds to open the box, ink up the nearest ten pens and get to writing! I will post more in-depth reviews on some of the inks in the coming days…but my first thoughts are: Beautiful set, FANTASTIC colors and (as expected) smooth, wet flow just like any other Diamine ink! Yes, if you do the math it is about $100 for $50 worth of ink. But this is some lovely ink! My only wish is that they’d sell “Handel” by the gallon! It’s beyond gorgeous!

Hopefully, they will sell individual bottles sometime in the future. I could see myself going through the entire 30mL bottles of Handel, Wagner and Vivaldi very quickly!

Did you get this set, too? I’d love to hear what you think of it!
