Definitely looks more vibrant and more on the warm side than the scan indicates

Today as I'm getting ready to start week 8 I realized I scanned this but never posted. My inky love affair of the week.

 

Better late than never...

That is one complicated mix!

I'm even worse than mhguda -- I didn't get the uploads done till this afternoon (but my excuse is that I spent several hours yesterday afternoon in an ER, after having a severe dizzy spell at an antiques show; nothing major, but I have to call an ENT specialist tomorrow morning because it's apparently an inner ear thing).

But in the meantime:

Sadly the scan makes this a little redder than it really is (the paper is Tomoe River, and is cream, not white).

ETA: And the ink smells divine as well -- just like heirloom roses. Sadly, no recipient would get to experience it, because it's so fugitive, but for the writer?

Sailor Doyou. Not the most romantic of colours but hey . . .

It was the first Sailor ink I bought. Even though it has somehow fallen out of favour, it's still special to me in some way.

(It's probably also the ink of my first ink review )

 

BTW Tas, I accidentally mixed something that reminds me of Cigar/Rikyu-cha. Are you still making mixes to match that colour? I mixed KWZI Aztec Gold and Grey Plum and got something quite lovely (I don't have C or R with me to compare though).

Interesting, I use it a lot less than I used to.

 

Remember my Cigar mix? Must've had 7 or eight inks in it. Bonkers. I've stopped most of that now but would love to see your Aztec-Plum mix.

That makes two of us. It sounds definitely interesting and unusual.

As I said I don't have Cigar or Ricky with me, so I'm relying on my memory...

Well I dug out my ink journal of last year and compared a sample of Rikyu-cha. Rikyu-cha seems to have more shading, the lighter part is greener, but the shading part looks quite similar to the mix.
