Handwritten Review – Diamine Sepia
Happy Wednesday!
Today, I’m giving away a full-sized bottle of Diamine Sepia Fountain Pen Ink. I know, I know you were hoping it was the pen. Sorry. #sorrynotsorry
When I learned that Goulet Pens was sending me the Fall 2014 Edition of Edison Nouveau Premiere and a bottle of ink, I suggested that they could also send me a sample of the same ink. “I’ll use the sample and giveaway the bottle.”
I had no idea which ink they were sending, but when I saw that it was sepia, I was so glad I was only getting the sample-sized. Brown inks are a waste on me. Ick.
At least they used to be. And then I fell in love with J Herbin’s Lie de The.
And now this:
Diamine Sepia Ink Swap
Let’s dive in . . .
A beautiful golden brown – with perhaps a bit of red?
No green or gray to muddy things up.
Shading makes me happy.
cRaZy shading makes me crazy happy.
I love this ink. The color is great, saturation is good, there is definitely shading. No bleeding, minimal show through (ghosting).
Water resistance isn’t super-important to me. Good thing, too . . . .
You’ll also note on the full review (click here for full-size version) that the color seems to be less saturated as I get further down on the page. Totally user error. I was having trouble filling from the sample bottle and ended up with ink clinging to the converter. A small twist of the converter got me going again.
Here’s the review I wrote for the pen review. Click here for the full-size.
Bottom line? I’ve added this ink to my wish list so that I can keep my word and give you this full-sized unopened bottle.
Leave a comment below to be entered to win. Remember to tell me how to get in touch with you. Open to US mailing addresses only (so sorry, international friends). Entry must be received by Wednesday, September 17. Winner will be announced on Friday, September 19.
Of course, you can always order Diamine Sepia from Goulet Pens.
Good luck!!

I have learned some new things by means of your site. One other thing I’d really like to say is newer pc os’s often allow more memory to be played with, but they in addition demand more storage simply to operate. If people’s computer is not able to handle additional memory and also the newest application requires that ram increase, it might be the time to buy a new Computer. Thanks
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
You can definitely see your skills within the work you write. The sector hopes for even more passionate writers like you who aren’t afraid to mention how they believe. At all times follow your heart.
Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. But think of if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this website could definitely be one of the most beneficial in its niche. Fantastic blog!
