guess the ink!

[mizgeorge]

... Nope. I guess it's common enough. The brand has been guessed mentioned Enough, but I don't recall it being showcased

Great guesses.... but not yet

The brand has yet to be named

@mizgeorge, did you hear, that Seitz company folded?

Very sad about SK- they made some nice inks, one of which I'm almost out of

And now I'm confused (a fairly common state of mine for me right now), I thought the brand had been named. I clearly need to go back to the drawing board...

I see you haven't lost your touch. It is indeed Hiiragi, which means Holly. Though I have yet to see a Holly in that colour...

and the legend lives:

[mizgeorge]

Goodness me - I wasn't sure I'd ever get there! It is a lovely colour - though I agree, Holly certainly doesn't immediately come to mind...

Thank you - that was fun (I think!)

[PithyProlix]

Congrats @mizgeorge!

I felt pretty strong about my initial guesses and was thinking that I might have ended this round quickly but, boy, was I wrong! Great job at leading us to more inks unknown by me @Yazeh! This is a great color!

Y'all have been really, really tempting me to explore and purchase some Korean and Taiwanese inks, especially some pigment inks! But, NO, I will NOT yield to temptation! 😏 I WILL keep telling myself NOT to buy more ink! (The reality is that I first really want to get the rest of the L'AP inks that I want but don't have as well as the rest of the PenBBS inks that I want that are available to me cheaply. And, patting my own back, I have been good about holding off on those, even... but, alas, not some pens... ).

@mizgeorge, it's a delightful colour. I tried checking Japanese holly photos, hoping to see a colour which reminds me of it. The bottles are very cute glass bottle and thankfully small amount of ink. Though I doubt if its good ink for writing, unless using absorbent paper. It's doesn't like Japanese paper, ironically. I tried it for a couple of sketches and it was too pale and dry. But it's the type of ink that needs extensive testing, multiple pens. In the pigment ink department I definitely prefer more Kala/Kakimori and De Atramentis. Though ironically Kala is not the best ink for sketching if you plan to do washes.

@Pithy, many don't survive this thread because of the ink attraction Good luck, you'll discover inks you never thought existed and you'll get samples just to stump a fellow ink guesser

[mizgeorge]

I was going to do something completely different, but decided the pen I'd inked up was behaving far too badly to even begin to use, and definitely wasn't showing the colour I'd chosen at its best, so instead, here's one I inked up a week or two ago, and have found myself using a lot. It's a fine nib - not something I normally use at all, and a very silly pen with a very silly filling mechanism (PenBBS 487), but I'm really enjoying the ink, and it seemed like a good choice for a very dreary day here.

If it's not guessed very quickly (which I think it may be!), I'll do something wishy washy with it tomorrow. For now, however, it's way past my bedtime!

[Yazeh]

Really nice colour.
I didn't appreciate fall before, but I do now.

Good guesses - but not these.
