Ink Review #864: PenBBS 346 Misty Mountain

Read MoreInk Review #863: Vinta Bronze Yellow La Paz
/
Vinta Bronze Yellow La Paz is a dark mustard yellow. According to Vinta’s website, “The only desert in the Philippines is located in La Paz, Ilocos Norte. The former Filipino dictator is also born in Ilocos Norte. Ironically, yellow is also the color that symbolized his eventual removal from office. The EDSA Revolution of 1986 is also known as the "Yellow Revolution." This color does not only evoke a fight for freedom and justice but also of the many diverse landscapes that can be found throughout the Philippines.” Thanks to Vanness Pens for sending the ink over for review.

/
Krishna Winter V-3 is the third and latest version of the Winter ink. I’ve been curious about this ink for a while, but was unsure about trying it because there are so many different versions. This version of Winter is a little bit darker, and has less sheen than Krishna Moonview. Thanks to Vanness Pens for sending a bottle over for review.

A while ago I reviewed some Bond Travel Gear products, and since then I’ve been using their A5 Tomoe River notebook daily-I’ve actually gone through 4 of them (and I wish I had at least 4 more). Bond Travel Gear has branched out to a new stationery brand called Lochby. They recently sent me two of their products to try-the Field Journal and the Tool Roll (which I will review separately).

/
Robert Oster Sydney Darling Harbour was the show ink for the 2019 Sydney International Pen Show. I saw some photos of the color online (I should stay away from Robert Oster’s Instagram-he only makes me drool over ink I can’t always get) and was so jealous that I wouldn’t be at the show to pickup a bottle, but Lisa Vanness to the rescue! Thanks to Vanness Pens for providing this ink for review.
