INK EXPLORATION // Dusty Pinks // And experimenting with mixing inks!

Thanks for watching my #fountainpenink exploration with dusty inks, my current favourite shade of ink! I also experiment with a couple of inks to see if I can find the perfect shade!

Thanks for this -- this is a color category I love, even though I dislike hot pinks and bright pinks. My collection also includes Robert Oster Australis Rose, which is closer to true pink but still has that dusty, vintage feel. As for your custom mixes, I like both and would be tempted to try something in between. For your viewers: Guide sheets to put under blank paper are available from The Well Appointed Desk in the U.S., and she also offers free downloads if you want to print your own (although I prefer the heavy card stock). Finally, thanks for the shout out! I have accidentally knocked over enough sample vials to appreciate the tape dispenser trick.

Not me over here looking up all the dusty pink inks! I love the circles, the more imperfect the better! The excitement in your voice is just so fun-- you know what the ink looks like and yet you love them so much it is as if you are seeing them for the first time, your excitement is infectious! I'm so happy the Yurameku ink made an appearance, they are so wonderful. Both the custom inks are so lovely, it is hard to choose between them. Super fun video, Karyna!

Dusty pink has become such an interesting category....
When considering the color spectrum there's a clear spot where pinks fall (somewhere between red and violet) and where coral falls (somewhere between red and orange). But you see a lot of muted pinks AND corals get categorized into the dusty pink genre so many of us have come to love and adore. Honestly, I think both these hues shine so well under this label. Even if some of the colors are little more on the corally/orange side; I feel like it's haha
We all know what we mean when we call 'em "dusty pink". It's less about the accuracy of the "pink", and more about the VIBE✨ + softness in the blush tone☺

I actually just got a sample of Troublemaker Freedom Park Rose and thought of you! It’s the only dusty pink I’ve tried and I really enjoy it in my Estie Candy with swapped Broad nib!❤

I think my fave is the 1:1 Pilot combo then the Teranishi Opera Rose. If it’s too dusty a colour then I find it hard to see the words I write with the pen.

I am so envious you have a bottle of Ina Ho. I waited too long when I heard it was being discontinued. If you would like to try Robert Oster Dusky Pink, let me know. I’d be happy to send you some.

[lianelikes]

I love the experimentation and can’t believe the results of mixing ina ho and kosumosu together! I like both the 1:1 and 2:1 ratios…

[theartesana]

Ooohh!! This is perfect timing…I have been looking for this specific fountain ink hue. TYFS!❣️✨

[LittlePrairieLibrary]

I'm so curious what it would look like if you mixed Kitsune Biyore with pink or red to get it closer to the pink side!

[MissMarilynDarling]

I like the 2-1 I think it looks closer than the other but I also like that top right one its really nice ..I have accidentally put the wrong ink from a pen into an inkvile I mixed Pilot iroshizuku Yama Budo and Califolio Andirinople and I call it Yamabudoandrinople and its beautiful ... I love experimentation especially putting shimmer in inks that dont have shimmer I need to go to the store and buy more different colors of shimmer I have an ink that wi like but it doesnt have that much shimmer and I need to buy the color of shimmer I use hobby lobby food grade luster dust which is ment to go on cakes but if its safe enough to eat its safe enough to go in my pens and it cleans out really good :)

Oh my goodness!! the 2:1 looks so much like Opera Rose. So beautiful. I am impatiently waiting for my brunch date and some others to arrive. The two mixes are stunning. I love them both. More inkploration please 😁

[michellealtland]

You may be able to get that Teranishi Opera Rose from ferociousnprettypens here on YouTube... she has a bottle and didn't really like it!

[moonwolves]

Love this ink exploration video.Question where is the pinkish clip from? It’s soo cute😊

[queenbuzybee]

OMG, using a tape dispenser to hold a vial is amazing! ❤ thank you! These are exactly the shades of colors I‘ve been looking into on „Mountain of Ink“. They remind me of blossoming Japanese cherry trees. Thanks for swatching them for us. I‘ll be ordering samples and bottles today 🌸🌸🌸!

[PinkWytchBytch]

Out of curiosity, does anyone know a good dupe for FWP’s lady rose that is less dry? Lady rose is so dry it hardly writes in my pen and I only have one pen

[Pausewithapen]

I definitely want to try the J Herbin. And can I go on the pre-order mailing list for KarynaLovesToPlan Inks!

[christinec]

Would love to see an ink exploration with any blues/teals you have

[babcilex]

I would try also the combo between kosumosu and that sheeny ink 😊😅

Robert Oster makes a "Dusky Pink". Is it "Dusty" or "Dusky"? Are they both one and the same? I'm not a huge fan of pink inks, but the hue of pink that I do love, resemble Diamine + Cult Pen's, "Jug of Sangria". I LOVE that color, but I'm not sure if it's a pink / lavender / lilac color? In your opinion, does lilac lean more towards purple or can lilac also be warm and look pinkish? My favorite pink, that I'm picturing in my mind's eye, would definitely lean more towards a muted pink, but also contain a hint of lavender. Would that be Dusty/Dusky pink, lilac or warm lavender? What's your opinion? I really wish "Jug of Sangria" wasn't so dry and hard to read because I really love the look of that color! I am drawn to muted colored inks, but my favorite color is red (not in inks). Go figure....🤷🏻‍♀

That 1:1 combination of kosumosu and inaho is really beautiful. I’m having a hard time thinking of an ink similar to it. 🥰
