Inkmas 12: Happy Hannukah!

Author AnaPosted on December 24, 2024December 29, 20242 Comments

Although I’ve covered the reds and greens for Christmas, today I wanted to provide you with an array of blues. That’s because, this year, Hannukah starts tomorrow as well! As it turns out, I don’t have that many bottles of what I would consider pure blues in my ink stash. I tend towards teal blue…

Fashionable Friday: Winter Solstice

Author AnaPosted on December 20, 2024December 16, 2024

On the longest night of the year, I like to marvel at the stars in the sky, the chill in the air and the official start of winter here in the Midwest. Frosty ink colors, a hot mug of tea and listening to quiet tunes with my headphones on so the sounds of the city…

Inkmas 9: Sailor Shikiori Kasasagi

Author AnaPosted on December 19, 2024December 19, 2024

Inkmas day 9 is an ink I have a tough time showing in a way that brings out its true beauty. Sailor Shikiori Kasasagi. Kasasagi came out in the Shikiori line recently but never to much fanfare. It is a dark blue-teal that leans towards a dark gray with a understated black sheen. Kasasagi is…
