I have quite a few new ink samples in the mix, like Lamy Violet Blackberry (already not really a fan of it), Sailor Ink Studio 123 and Manyo Haha (love both, especially 123), Ferris Wheel Press Moss Park Green and Oyster Hour (further forays into green and brown inks; they look great!), and Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuki-Yo (which I’m really loving). Ink samples are so dangerous…my collection is getting out of hand! 😅
