I’ve been reviewing only one new TWSBI ink each week but today I’m combining the remaining three colors: Tangerine, Crimson, and Navy. If you would like, read about Grape or Forest Green as well!

A Very Special Inkpiphany: Caran d’Ache Chromatics Delicate Green
While I realize it’s neither Epiphany nor officially the 12 days of Christmas, our darling Tina created a special ink review for Inkmas that, because Tina was so efficient, I forgot about it. So, without further adieu…. Review by Tina Koyama Although the Caran d’Ache Chromatics ink series has been around for a while, I’m…
Ink Comparison: Kin Mokusei vs Apricot
Sailor has made a dizzying number of inks, from standard black and blue to special editions that are only available under very specific locations.

I was a real pr*ck this year when I picked my Inkmas inks. Ferris Wheel Press LadyRose in Gold ($20 for 38ml bottle) is the second ink I chose that is/was a limited edition ink. I didn’t do this to torture you, I promise. I just wanted to share some of my favorite inks with…
12 Days of Inkmas: Day 9 Kala Island No. 38 Sweet Potato Balls
It’s hard to decide what my favorite food is at the holidays, but I admit that my family’s sweet potato casserole is really high up there on the list. We steam fresh sweet potatoes, then add peaches, pecans, brown sugar, butter and a few toasted marshmallows at the end. It’s sweet and decadent and I…
