I really like this one! I love the subtle pink and blues tones…they create a lovely lavendar hue on my swatches…☔️ beautiful…

This ink is what I would call a chameleon ink. It starts green and dries to gray. Nice ink.

So far, I'm liking this one the most. As usual, love your presentation. Cheers!

I am impressed with this year's Invent. Wish I'd have purchased it

[dyerswoad]

This is gorgeous! Really interesting to see how different the ink looks on the different papers.

Ghost is a winner. The shading is killer!

Spoiler-free intro reel! This ink reminded me of Vinta Aegean, but the Vinta is more blue and this is more purple.

I'm thinking it might be similar to Troublemaker's Petrichor, but I don't have a swatch of that handy.

I will need to try this in another pen. In a Lamy Vista broad nib, it was way too light for my liking, but it does shade very nicely. I, too, thought it was on the dry side.

[Jaru-kun]

How do you keep the papers so straight? Mine will deform when getting wet by ink.

[janeknights]

I really like this shade too. A question: i am trying to swatch my inks but i am not sure what to use to do this. Some people seem to use paint brushes, or Cotton buds or a thick pen nib. Do you have a preferred option? And i am not sure how much ink i need to use. Sometimes i think i use too much and it goes very dark and is hard to see the colour. Many thanks

[technoraptor]

Yes!! See this is a "chameleon " ink or chromoshading ink!!...if they did a chromoshading shimmer ink then yes that would be something different. But nice color.

[nicolearcher]

what are you using to swab the inks? and where did you purchase them? I've seen you use two different "swabbers", for lack of a better word.
