Today’s review is another for the definitely not peach files. In fact, I would have slotted this one in with the Living Coral of 2019 inks! Kobe #12 Okamoto Pink ($30 for 50mL) is a bright pinky coral ink with beautiful shading. There’s no sheen, but tons of lovely pinks and corals. It reminds me…

Ink Review: Ferris Wheel Press Leadcast Letters
Last weekend I attended the Washington DC show and helped at the Dromgoole’s booth selling ink and paper.

Ink Review: Ferris Wheel Press, Definitely Peachy
