Now swatched Odysseus. The Van Dieman shimmer inks really do have a problem with the shimmer settling instantly in the bottle, which makes it impossible to get consistent results. Base colour is a very nice deep teal, shimmer pink-purple.
I'm not getting the same results on Clairefontaine 90gsm vellum as VDI show on their website with I think Tahoe - the shimmer isn't multichromatic.
