Trying out a little paper I wasn't familiar with: Maruman Mnemosyne.

The quote: “When all else fails, write what your heart tells you. You can’t depend on your eyes, when your imagination is out of focus.” -- Mark Twain

  • Pen: Asvine V126, Steel Nib
  • Ink: Diamine Writer's Blood
  • Paper: Maruman Mnemosyne

The paper did really well: no spidering, no bleed through. Of course, Writer's Blood isn't the wettest of inks. I'll try another pen / ink combo to see how well this paper fares.

I really liked the Maruman sample I got, but I loved the Tomoe River paper. Takes forever to dry with any ink but it really brings out the shade, sheen, and shimmer. Maruman was great for taking notes every day. It was very... stable is the only word I can think of. It behaved fantastically. Cheers!
