I am not afraid of 10,000 lions being led by a sheep. I am afraid of a lion leading 10,000 sheep.

Named for the young commander who tamed Bucephalus when grown men, his father among them, could not. Alexander is a beige shading ink peppered with golden shimmer, chosen to stand for courage and fearlessness against the odds. Understated in colour, quietly spectacular in the light.

Try before you commit to a full bottle. Each sample is hand-decanted into a 4ml glass vial with a screw-top cap and a labelled colour name, so you can test the shading, sheen, and flow in your own pens on your own paper first.

This is a shimmer ink. Shake gently before each fill, and use it only in fountain pens that can be easily disassembled for cleaning. Dip pens and brushes are always a safe bet.

Volume: 4ml glass sample vial
Series: Van Dieman's Greek Heroes
Base colour: Beige
Shimmer: Golden shimmer
Dye-based, water-based ink
Decanted in-house from a full 40ml bottle

A perfect way to build a swatch library or fill an ink-sample flight. Ideal for junk journaling, lettering, fountain pen collectors, and stationery lovers who want to explore Van Dieman's Tasmanian inks without committing to a full bottle.
