I think the Ancient Charms is also known as Ancient Song and Desk Bandit in Australia does stock it. Maybe check that out. Post is pretty expensive last time I looked for international orders from Desk Bandit. This is one of my favourite greens families. Olive green and browns are my favourites. Oh and greys.

@@mydandeliondiaries Coming here to say yes, Desk Bandit has "Ancient Song," and they have a shade called "Southern Village" that seems to be really really similar to what you've swatched here! So maybe a rebrand? Sadly it seems like only Desk Bandit has them for people outside of China... might be worth going in on a package with a pen friend and splitting the shipping? (Australian dollars are weaker than USD at present, too, if that helps!) I've been working my way through your Ink Explorations playlist since discovering your videos a couple weeks ago and I really love what you do. Thank you for being such a fun stationery presence here on KZitem!

I understand how one can get absorbed in a swatch of ink, commenting on its various properties, and you are not the only reviewer who tends to emphasize an ink’s swatch properties. You’ve established a very pleasing routine that does show an ink’s properties in a swatch. Please continue doing so, your remarks are often both fascinating and valuable, but please do more writing using a fountain pen - a few lines, with your analysis, would be so helpful.Personally, I’m fond of Michael Jenks always using the same pen and nib (TWSBI Go with a 1.1 nib), and often Tomoe River 68gms paper. It helps to experience different inks using the same tools. Please continue your in-depth reviews. I look forward to them.

I love love love olive greens. They are my fav!! I really like muted dusty colors a lot lately but the green is definitely my top. I tend to have two pens inked with green, usually an olive and one with shimmer or sheen. I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone of muted colors, but will always have a green inked :)

OMG these are all so gorgeous! I'm wondering for your Ancient Charms ink....I know Wearingeul has some ink additives where you can add just the shimmer particles to existing inks to jazz them up...maybe you could accomplish something similar with one of those additives (the gold shimmer one-Healing Light) and a currently available olive green?

This video certainly inspired me to find every single olive colored ink to swab … I bought far too many whole bottles (amazingly enough in different colors than you have swabbed here, talk bout the rabbit hole!). Peter Moss was the first bottle I bought in the Olive greens …. Also, i my hunt I found Diamine Salamander. You HAVE TO TRY THIS!

Thank you for your inksploration videos! I’ve been binge watching them and enjoying every moment. - It might be in a different green category of yours, but: Have you tried Wearingeul’s Path? I have a feeling you may really like it and to my eye, it could even be a match for the Ancient Charms ink you’re having trouble finding.

I know you love shimmer inks. May I ask which pens you use them in that work really well? I haven’t had much luck with shimmer inks bcuz they tend to clog my pens.
@mydandeliondiaries
Жыл бұрын
Certainly! I usually put them into my TWISBI ECO pens, they handle shimmer well and I can clean them very well between inks. I also really like to use the Kaweco Sports. I have found that as long as I turn the pen around a little before writing I have not had any issues with clogging. I also think that putting the shimmer inks in Fine nibs or larger has worked the best. When I put them in EF nibs they seem to have harder starts and I have to prime the nib more. Hope that helps!

Olive ink is my love language. Tokiwa-matsu is 👌. I am here to sing Monteverde's praises. They are great inks both in quality and value. I just purchased more Monteverde from Vanness (about $8.00 for 30ml bottle) and used SEEMOWNAY23 for 10% off. 😬 Truphae also has bottles for $8.00. FWP Ink Chargers were my introduction to fountain pen ink. I have Moss Park Green and Goose Poupon but I find them too dry. 🥲 Maybe White Lightning would help. Also, life is short, buy the ink bottle. 😅 PS, your doodles are adorable!
