Day 25: Hampton Harbour Sage. Testing out and swatching a new ink from Ferris Wheel Press. Love this shade of green because it isn’t too garish or loud. Green can be a tricky color. I feel like this and a sepia or brown ink would make a nature journaller swoon. I'll have another color tomorrow and it's a gooood one.

I’m working on an art project which requires me to swatch a lot of inks by obtaining a lot of samples.
You will all be getting my unsolicited opinions about bottled inks. Here’s a sampler:
Sailor inks are for the rich. Noodler’s did some shit and you shouldn’t support them. I wrote three words in Organics Studio 5 months ago and it’s still smearing on my hands and over everything oh god oh god to this day. Ferris Wheel Press is my nemesis in this life and the previous.
Cult of the Lamb art from 01/13/23 livestream. I used both fountain and dip pens for this one. The game has been occupying around 70% of my brain this week especially with the update coming out in a couple days. The Lamb is exploring Darkwood, I’ll be doing the other domains over the next week or so. We’re going to Anura next!

Radiant Rosewing ink swatching. Coming to the FerriTales Ink collection at Ferris Wheel Press on January 5th. A rose pink color with duochrome gold/pink shimmer. Sometimes I think pink is just too light to write with, but this one has a lot of warmth to it so I might try to make it work. It steers clear of the more childlike bubblegum and pastel pinks. It's almost a more serious and romantic shade of pink if that makes any sense. Color me intrigued! What do you think of pink ink?
