I love it!!!

Iroshizuku Tsuyu-kusa: why is it not as well known as some other Iro inks?

When I first tried Tsuyu-kusa, I thought it was too light, but it has grown on me. I think it does better in a medium or broad nib.

Ooops.

Hey, Tas, quick question... which company for Midnight Blue? I'm thinking Diamine, but it could be Noodler's or even De Atramentis.

[Tas]

Diamine, apologies.
I did have Noodler's but stupidly forgot to swatch it

[amberleadavis]

Lol - I never forget to do a swatch - HA HA.

Oh no, we have the same sense of humor. I was seriously thinking about finding an image of the Swatch.

[TheRealScubaSteve]

I have a silver one, too, if you ever put up a Silver Swatch thread.

My favorite blues of your collection. And a lovely collection it is!

[HalloweenHJB]

Cool colors loaded up in pens this month. Mostly blue, but some greens and violets. A variety of pens on Canson tracing paper. The scan doesn't quite show the splendor of the shading of Yama-dori, South Seas Blue, Kon-peki, and Myrrh. YUM!

Looking VIBRANT!

[TheRealScubaSteve]

This makes me want more, more more. Does Santa have an item limit?

If I understand correctly, that the one thing Santa does NOT have...
