guess the ink!

[mizgeorge]

On a roll there - but no. I'm just getting ink envy now...

[mizgeorge]

Goodness - the lichen colour from that Kakamori range is delicious

These all might be too dark, but:

Sailor USA Washington (I haven't seen a written swatch, so this is literally a wild --- guess)
Colorverse USA New York Green Goddess
Pelikan Edelstein Jade
Monteverde Erinite
Diamine Soft Mint

Sailor Ink Studio #167 (prob. too yellow)

- too green (looks lovely though) - we can't get them here.
- too saturated *
- too vivid
- too green
- too bright
- yes, too yellow

*and I struggle with colorverse inks. They're hard to get here, and the only colours I like come in the stupidly small bottles bundled with giant bottles of colours I don't like. Some of the 'project' and 'USA' colours look lovely though.

I understand completely. That is why I haven't purchased full bottles.

I can't get my head around samples! I don't mind the odd swap or try out from friends, but I'm a bottle or bust girl at heart. If I don't like it, I can either use it for drawing or give it away. Perhaps if we had more choice here it might be different, but I'd rather have a 30ml bottle of one ink than 8-10ml in samples for the same price. It might explain why my ink boxes are groaning. Though I have been very good this week.

Good thing I can't get to Japan - that would be disastrous - not so much for the ink expenditure as the cost of getting it all home

[mizgeorge]

Is it time for a clue?

Noodler's Polar Green
Robert Oster Opal Green - but this looks a bit too bright
FWP Mirror of Moraine
Kobe #64 - Uptown Jade
FWP Morning Mint

[mizgeorge]

I don't have any Noodlers inks.
Yuck. One of the rare RO greens I really don't like. Actually one of only a very few shades of green I don't like. It makes me think of 80's sportswear, which is positively shudder-inducing.

FWP Morning Mint - I'm not sure that I added this

I understand about Noodler's inks. They aren't the inks for me.
And I agree about that shade of green - not too pleasant!

[DrPenfection]

I'm out of ideas and my pups want their dinners, so I'm off. I'll check back in a while.

[mizgeorge]

Not FWP - I love them, and this would be just the right sort of non-saturation, but it isn't!

In fact, it's not a North American ink.
And it's not the Kobe - I just did that one a few rounds ago and I'm not that mean (yet!)

Where's the swoopah when we need him?

[Yazeh]

Pennonia - Zuzmó (Lichen) / or Green Apple?
Though I opt for Lichen...

[Yazeh]

Inkebara Green lagoon / Melissa or Highland Green (it looks quite dark)?
Visconti Van Gogh - Wheatfield under Thunderclouds?

[mizgeorge]

Pennonia - Zuzmó (Lichen)?

No, though I was using this yesterday

Inkebara Green lagoon / Melissa or Highland Green (it looks quite dark)?
Visconti Van Gogh - Wheatfield under Thunderclouds?

Not an Inkebara
And definitely not a Visconti - I love your optimism in guessing these though - especially because the likelihood of my ever getting them is close to zero - I don't even like the look of the colours

In fact, it's not an Italian ink, nor is it from Eastern Europe.

Diplomat Green
L'Artisan Pastellier Vert Pin Scented (I just like the smell of pine trees)

Too dark
too..piney (and the smell reminds me of school loos)

It's not a French ink
