Join me for a slightly damp adventure as I take Van Dieman’s shimmer inks into the safety of my shower for a swatch session that's as practical as it is peculiar. I'm testing these Tasmanian treasures where no ink spills can harm—just good, clean fun with some sparkling inks.
In this follow-up video, I’m exploring how these shimmer inks perform under less conventional test conditions. From the subtle glints to the bold sparkles, we’ll see how each hue shines when literally put through the wringer (or at least next to the shampoo).
Whether you're here for the ink or just to see if I can keep the paper dry, this should be entertaining. Drop a like if you enjoy the video, comment your thoughts or any cleanup tips, and don’t forget to subscribe for more fountain pen follies from my apparently splash-proof collection!
