Hands down, my 2 favorite Inks are Sailor and Troublemaker Inks. I actually bought the entire 103 colors of the Sailor ink studio inks. There where 3 Inks that they changed, so I have the originals and the new replacements. I also have all of these Sailor ink series... they are the absolute best to make art with. The chromatography is so wild and AMAZING when you use them on 100% cotton watercolor paper wet on wet. I also actually dye wood and even leather with these inks as well! If I use them to dye leather, i add some denatured alcohol, or pure ethanol and some deionized H20... and they separate and shade into veg tan leather! I make my own custom paint brush handles, small display racks for Art supplies, leather working tools, and a bunch of other stuff for my studio and Bindery. It seperates BEAUTIFULLY when it soaks into the grain of hardwoods! Then I put a bunch of UV protective layers, then I coat it in resin or High gloss varnish in super thick layers. So it looks like it's coated in glass. These inks are absolutely amazing to play around with! I wish they were lightfast, I would use them as backrounds and things like that. Anyways, sorry for the rant lol. Thanks for sharing and have a great one 😀
Wow, I had not thought to use the sailor inks in so many ways! So creative! Does the uv coating work to keep them from fading?
Manyo Kikyou is a great daily writer. it shades well , very well behaved. A top ink. I use it in all nib sizes.
I'm looking forward to your ink swatch flip through!
I feel your dilemma. I have more than I could possibly use in a life time and I empty about three bottles a year. Storage isn’t infinite, but yet I still get a new bottle or two every second or third month. Sometimes the temptation is just too much.
I buy few bottles of ink, but I am still ink sample-crazy. Sailor Manyo Nadeshiko is one of the inks that decided to get a bottle of when I used up the sample.
I have also been trying to reduce the number of pens I buy since I now have too many to 'cycle through' like I used to. But of course, I keep giving in. Someone has an exclusive somewhere that is finally in a color I want or a limited pen comes out and I know I have to jump on it if I like it enough to add to my collection.
I really hate the exclusive and limited edition chase. There have been several pens that I really wanted, but I had to ( 🎵'Frozen' 🎶) "Let it go," and pass on them.
Although I do love the handturned pens, I've been trying to only buy a new pen if it offers something "new" like an innovative design or nib. It's tough. I'm trying to avoid the limited edition chase myself.
Nadeshiko is beautiful. 💙💜💙 cool vid.
Man, Sailor makes some lovely inks. That Kikyou is gorgeous. I get excited when I finish up a sample bottle, much less a full bottle. I mainly use inks in line and wash now, so I’m into pigmented waterproof inks. My non waterproof inks I’m using for sketching too, hitting them with a wet brush.
I have approximately 15 fountain pens and 13 bottles of ink (and ~30 ink samples) and I feel a little anxious about it 😅. Time to reign it in for me as well.
I admire your restraint-lol. I haven’t counted mine, but it’s a lot.
Kikyou is one of my all time fav. I finished a bottle and replaced immidiately. I never get tired of using this and KWZ azure5. Lol 😁
I'm going to miss your ink swatches...but I do understand what happens when we feel we just can't do more. Good luck! :)
Kikyou is my #1 ride or die ink, good choice! :D
I feel ya I have tons of ink but always want to try different ink. I'm trying to use up what I have but man these ink makers sure make tempting inks. I found 2 inks I can't live without and it's Sailor Ink Studio 123 and diamine ancient copper. I wish they would make a bigger bottle of 123. I do love ink Studio 224 as well. It's an honorable mention. Lol.
Love NAdeshiko, but Shirakashi was a complete letdown. I expected far more brown instead of the murky green it presented.
May pick up "Sailor - 50 States - Georgia" to replace it.
They are too light indeed. Just found out today...
Man.. those are pretty colors especially when they’ve dried. But I also have enough ink to last me two lifetimes 🫣
