Ink Swatch Thursday: Skogsy Pens Cholla and 3 Oysters Americano https://cjs-wunderkammer.ghost.io/ink-swatch-thursday-skogsy-pens-cholla-and-3-oysters-americano/
Originally I wasn't going to post an ink swatch article this week, but I really wanted to write a bit about my latest Skogsy Pens Cholla pen that I bought post-Christmas, since I had just refilled it with 3 Oysters Americano (yes, folks, another brown ink). 🙂 First, let me show
@penfount Here’s one of my favorites from the 2024 Inkvent calendar. This one definitely a candidate for a full bottle.
Day 8 is Marley, a purple gray with some amazing chromatography with a rose hue and a vivid teal making an appearance.
Swatches are made on Canson, cold press 140lb watercolor paper with a brass Kakimori nib. I’m using a self-inking stamp from Midori that has an oil based ink. My wife spotted this stamp at a Kinokuniya Portland visit.

I have yet another ink sample from Vanness that I'd ordered along with the Vinta Inks holiday set (previous posts here, here, and here), my first ink from Akkerman, or PW Akkerman. I saw that the SBRE Brown sample was available (although on the day I'm writing this, it appears
A cool purple for Ink Swatch Wednesday

When I wrote up the Vinta Inks "A Holiday Feast" set and was looking for comparable inks for Puto Bumbong, I even looked at the base colors for shimmer inks and swatched Journalize Dark Matter without shaking it first. I was immediately struck by this color, because it seemed like
Swatch of the SF pen show ink by Colorverse and a few other teals or teal-adjacent inks in my collection

My San Francisco pen show budget was taken up by a vintage Pelikan, an architect nib grind, and some Mushroom Cat (and other cat) stationery from Paper Treats. Amazingly, I only bought one ink, the pen show ink by Colorverse called San Francisco Bay. It's a nice teal meant to
I'm doing a "30 inks in 30 days" event on discord so I thought I'd share here too. I might make it through the month, possibly, if I go shopping.
Days 1-2, TWSBI pink (too pale for me, didn't like it in a <f> pen) and orange (this looks more solid).
Sort of a different situation for #SwatchWednesday today!
Instead of a writing sample, how about a doodle sample?
Also I seem to be out of swatch cards.
Inks:
sailor - sakura mori
sailor- yozakua
pilot - hana ikada
sailor ink studio - 237
I was feeling the need to try out more pink. But I am also a purple person.
So this ink was very meh for me.
Lamy Violet Blackberry
As you can see on the swatch card, it’s purple. And it has good flow to it.
On the Hobonichi paper, it’s dark purple if you squint. Camera couldn’t get it, but it’s like a very matte dark purple.
I guess sort of like the actual blackberry.
And less controversial than its cousin Dark Lilac.
Good thing I just got a pack of cartridges to try instead of a bottle!
