guess the ink!

[Yazeh]

Organics Studio Arsenic or Boron

Not North American...

[Yazeh]

I don't know. Maybe thi is throwing us all for a loop! It could be a concentrated version of Laban Demeter!

[mizgeorge]

Bugger. I was getting all scientific there.

I can think of inks to fit some of the clues, but they're totally the wrong colours
And I can think of inks that are the right colours but can't for the life of me make them fit the clues.

And if it's not a tree....

[DrPenfection]

Recap time:

We have made over 70 guesses.

The clues are as follows:

1. The poem has a clue
2. The magnified image is a clue
3. The ink has not appeared in "guess the ink", but has been guessed before
4. Not a North American ink
5. No a Colorverse Ink
6. Brand has been named already
7. Only one mention of the ink on FPGeeks - Yazeh's thread
8. A few mentions on FPN but no reviews
9. A couple of reviews on popular review sites.
10. Not a Kobe ink
11. Going down, it appears more pink/purple before drying
12. Not an IG ink
13. Name of the ink can be either liquid, solid or gas - commonly seen as gas or solid
14. Not a 3Oysters ink
15. Name or brand not associated with a tree
16. Name is not a coffee or beverage

somewhere I believe thi also said it is not an Herbin ink.

perhaps this might help someone

Hopefully I haven't missed anything here...

Organics Studio Arsenic or Boron

De Atramentis Cola

Herbin Encre Brune Perfum Cacao (that would just be mean!)

I can't even decide if it's grey or brown any more...

Too trying to poison me for being mean!
Too drinky!
I might be that mean, but not today!
My personal opinion is that this is a brown.

Yeah, I understand - I went down the "black" path too on this.

I don't know. Maybe thi is throwing us all for a loop! It could be a concentrated version of Laban Demeter!

Haha! No, it's not a concentrated ink. Not that mean! (today)

Vinta Brown Pamana?
Stipula Sepia?

Too solid!
Too liquid!

Van Dieman's Oakwood Brown/ My Fair Audrey/ Honey Amber
Akkerman Oud Bruin?

Too solid/solid/liquid!
I do like a good Oud Bruin... too drinky!

DeAtramentis Fragrance Angels Ink?
DeAtramentis Fragrance Pipe Tobacco, Brown? Solid/ and smoke

Oh, we're getting the idea now...

Goodness, 70 guesses! Now I feel bad and like I might actually be mean!
A couple of comments on these...
1. Is the poem a clue?
2. The magnified image was just to help with the hidden colors.

I'll add, not a European ink.

That was your first guess. Last night

Robert Oster Smokescreen?

There it is!
I quite like this ink! Is it brown? Black? Grey? Purple? Pink? Green?
It might be all of these things!

The difficult clues that I’ll note after the fact:
The puff cloud of smoke that could be mistaken for a tree.
The pictured pen containing this ink is in the Smoke and Cinnamaroon colorway.

I didn't realize that this ink might be so Obscure!

Did I (mis)lead you to believe that I drew a tree?

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go and try to come to terms with the realization that I’m a mean person...

No, you are not mean by any definition.

Tricky . . . maybe.

Congratulations Yazeh!

[mizgeorge]

Oh well done Yazeh!! I'm embarrassed to say that I've never even registered the existence of this ink.

@thi - not mean at all - a challenge is much more fun than something boring and I certainly enjoyed this one. However, I think we may need to work on your drawing - the 'smoke' looked very much like either a tree or something nasty exploding on a remote atoll...

I’m glad you enjoyed it!
And yes, the family does make fun of my drawings whenever we play Pictionary…

[PithyProlix]

Callifolio Bosphore - it's a genuinely lovely grey - and beautifully well behaved in even the finest nib. I'm so sorry it was so difficult - it really wasn't meant to be

Ah, I expected Bosphore to be somewhat blue - and now I am intrigued because it is planned for a large-ish order from L'Artisan Pastellier later this year.

[DrPenfection]

thi, I think we all enjoyed it! It seems like an interesting ink. I did look at it yesterday on mountainofink's website, but thought it was perhaps too light. But it is on my list for a sample, especially after seeing your illustrations. Thank you!
