On the sixth day of Inkmas, the ink fairy gave to me… Kyo-no-oto #6 Adzukiiro ($28 for 40ml bottle)! Yes. There is are NEW Kyo-no-oto colors and my own personal ink fairy made sure I got a sample of it ASAP. Like all of the previous Ky-no-oto ink colors, this is a muted yet rich color. It’s…

12 Days of Inkmas: Kobe #47 Aoya Cascade Green
Kobe #47 Aoya Cascade Green is a perfectly holiday themed green. It reminds me of blue spruce and pine needles. The Kobe inks are Sailor, of course, so they are good stable inks that shade beautifully and #47 has a lovely reddish sheen. I love the shading variation in a wider nib and the dark,…

12 Days of Inkmas: De Atramentis Pigeon Blue
