Van Dieman's 2025 May - Ladybug - 100ml Shimmered Fountain Pen Ink

Van Dieman’s Ink of the Month – May 2025: Ladybug

🐞 Bold, Bright & Beautifully Armored 🐞

Few creatures are as instantly loved as the ladybug—a symbol of luck, resilience, and quiet strength. Though small, this tiny beetle carries with it a brilliant armor of crimson red, warning predators to stay away while bringing delight to those lucky enough to spot one.

Our May Ink of the Month, Ladybug, captures this bold spirit with a deep, saturated red base—rich, vivid, and full of life. As the ink settles on the page, a subtle brown shimmer begins to emerge, echoing the beetle’s earthy underbelly and grounding the fiery red with warmth and texture.

This ink is vibrant without being brash, dramatic without being overpowering—just like its namesake. Whether you're writing with passion, energy, or elegance, Ladybug adds a touch of charm to every word.
