This ink takes its colour from The Huon Pine’s rich green foliage and is inspired by its uniqueness.The wife of the Gulf Atlantic Diocese's bishop, Neil Lebhar, Marcia has been actively involved in lay ministry since her college years.
The Huon is not a true pine, but the solitary member of its own family. The Lagarostrobes Franklinii is an ancient yet threatened tree, living as long as 3,500 years, native only to Tasmania and found solely in the damp, subalpine southernmost regions of the island. This ink is a dark blue-black ink with a strong mahogany sheen, and is an excellent everyday writing. Van Dieman’s wanted to take our time with this colour to do this untouched wilderness justice. Situated within the isolated east Arthur ranges of Tasmania’s South West Wilderness is Hanging Lake, one of the highest altitude melt-water tarns, a serene majestic dark blue lake hidden within the rugged back drop of Federation Peak. Tasmania’s wilderness of this caliber is breath taking. The Devil’s kitchen, where The Great Southern Ocean smashes into scattered inlets lining the Eagle Hawk Neck cliff face on the eastern side of the Tasman Peninsular, creating a violent churn and the rich vibrantly cool teal which inspires this colour. Growing in such places as the "Valley of the Giants", these iconic Tasmanian Eucalyptus trees have a lustre and beauty within their own right and are a lost wilderness themselves. With a mottled kakhi green tone, the magnificant Tasmanian Mountain Ash, or Eucalyptus Regnans, grows up to lengths of 100 meters. This ink is based on the colour of the tallest flowering trees in the world.
#Into the wilderness series series
As an extension of our original Van Dieman's Colours of Tasmania, and as a series unto itself, we created the Wilderness Series to encapsulate the natural colours of this awe-inspiring and untouched southern land. Van Dieman's Wilderness Series is ten fountain pen inks inspired by the majestic, beautiful and ofttimes humbling wonders that await in the Tasmanian wilds. The Black Tongue Spider Orchid, with a gorgeous shade from black to deep magenta, is under conservation and listed as vulnerable due to agricultural expansion and disturbance in burning in certain regions. Tasmania’s orchids are some of the most beautiful in the world this species is found only in Tasmania. This color was inspired by the exotic and enticing Black tongue spider orchid (Caladenia caudata). This ink is suitable for dip pens, brushwork and all fountain pens.
This ink is decadent, eye-catching and a true delight to write with. This complex and multifaceted ink was built to replicate all the beauty in the kingfisher’s coat, with shades from light aqua, to teal green and dark royal blue, and a golden shimmer that plays with the light to create greenish tones, all bordered by a vibrant red sheen. The color was inspired by the stunningly beautiful Tasmanian Azure King Fisher, whose plumage is a remarkably entrancing blue with a unique deep red sheen, while his breast has golden fiery orange tones. Give your pen a try of the new reformulated Wilderness Series. We have also minimized the number and quantity of additional chemicals added, and all our dyes and additives are approved for food and cosmetics. Our reformulated inks now have better flow, less feathering and bleeding, and higher quality dyes. All our reformulated inks now contain a minimum of 95% Australian ingredients and are, as ever, handmade in micro batches in Launceston Australia. We have reformulated the entire Wilderness Series, utilizing new technology and higher quality ingredients, keeping the same beautiful colours, inspired by Tasmania's majestic wilds.
