Hi everyone,

Today I am offering one brand new, unopened 30ml bottle of each of the new Diamine inks

Tyrian Purple

and

Autumn Oak

I have tried both inks and they are really beautiful colours. Please see this thread for swatches (post no.1) and my writing sample (post no.12) of both inks:

http://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread.php/8049-Two-new-Diamine-Inks

I will select a winner and a runner-up for this PIF and the winner will get their preferred colour. The remaining bottle will go to the runner-up.

This PIF is open to all worldwide & I will pay shipping costs.

Please apply in this thread saying which colour you would like to win and why.

This PIF will close at 7pm GMT on Saturday 9th August.


Good luck!

I would very much like the Tyrian Purple. Although I would like the Autumn Oak, I can never say no to purple anything. Also, it makes me think of Rupert Everett and Colin Firth singing in "The Importance of Being Earnest". (Something about a 'Tyrian galley' in there.)

I would love the purple one. I'm relatively new to fountain pens so this would be my first bottle of ink. Plus purple is my favorite color. What better color to start with than my favorite? Thanks.

probably Tyrian purple as it makes me think of one of my favourite characters Tyrion Lannister

I would like the autumn oak, since I like oak trees. Actually, the street I grew up on is named after the oak trees growing there, though my house is the only one with any oaks in it. All the neighbors got rid of theirs and replaced them with boring conifers, because they couldn't be arsed to clean up leaf litter. Last laugh is on them though: they get processionary caterpillar infestations which we don't. No nasty rashes for us!

autumn oak
why? because autumn is just around the corner, and we have to coordinate our inks with the seasons, right?!

A difficult choice for me. I like both purples and oranges. I would be happy with either, but the Autumn Oak would be my first choice. I like Diamine Pumpkin as a bright cheery orange and the Autumn Oak would give me a choice where a more subtle approach is wanted. (If there is such a thing as a subtle orange.)

Wonderful PIF, thank you! If I were chosen to win I'd love the Tyrian Purple. It is absolutely stunning, and looks like it shades well. I've been considering getting more into calligraphy and I think it would make some really pretty shaded letters! It also reminds me of the old Black Swan in Australian Roses which is no longer the same shade... Good luck everybody!

I would like to be considered for this PIF, my choice would be for the Tryian Purple as a first choice but I am also ver partial to orange.

These look like awesome colors.

The generosity you always show is out of this world.
I'll echo that sentiment. I have a bottle of each on their way so I also will not be an entry, however, I must join Rui in recognising a very generous and thoughtful FPG member who has her fellow members at heart.

While I wouldn't mind either ink, I do not think I have any purple inks. I'll throw down for the Tyrian Purple. Thanks for your generosity!

I love purple and would like to try the Tyrian Purple, but really, I'll try anything because there's nothing like first-hand experience. You never know what you will like.
