Van Dieman’s Ink Persian Princess

I found a lovely pinky shimmering ink called Persian Princess.

Naturally I had to turn my bottle to see what kind of shimmers were included. From this angle the shimmers appear to be coppery and rose. It matches the swirls of color (Golden Rule) in my fountain pen.

I let the shimmering ink settle a bit and then turned my bottle again. Plenty of gorgeous sparkles. 

At first glance, Persian Princess appears to be very similar to my favorite Blood Rose ink. 

My eyes can immediate see a difference between these two inky colors. Persian Princess is a true pink color while Blood Rose leans more towards red. 

I have plenty of room for both colors in my inky collection and to use in my artsy adventures. Persian Princess has fast become another favorite ink of mine. A true pink color with plenty of coppery particles. 

I mostly use Blood Rose for my artwork that requires a beautiful red ink color. 

I can see some future floral sketches using both ink colors in my upcoming sketching adventures.
