I love that Diamine works together with the community to create new inks.

These have been out for a few months - have you had a chance to try them out? What did you think?

Note: linked to a different Youtube front-end to avoid the Youtube interface. The video is rather incidental to the post and meant to show off the inks if you haven't yet seen them.

I have both and I like them both, started with Celadon Cat because I buy all cat-named inks without much thinking (I Am a Cat is my favourite). The shimmer in Sailor’s Warning is difficult to see, I have to squint and look at my writing by a sunny window to see the subtle glittering.

I don't tend to use shimmer inks much so I skipped Sailor's Warning. I was so excited about Celadon Cat but it doesn't have enough contrast for most of my writing. Such a pretty color, though!

I have both and I really like them. Celadon Cat is what I wanted Troublemaker Petrichor to be so I'm enjoying using it. Sailor's Warning is such a lovely orange and it shades pretty well too. I've had no trouble with the shimmer clogging so it's a win in my books.
