I recently won a giveaway (from Inky.rocks: / castlegem ) in which was included an "ink book" from Japan with 12 little 10 ml bottles for storing ink. This prompted me to choose my 12 favorite inks to fill the little bottles with a sort of "private collection" for me to use with my glass nib pens and just for fun. This was truly so much fun and I wanted to share this video which is me showing and talking about the 12 inks I chose.
In some cases it was a close call and at the end of the video I show you 5 honorable mentions.
Over the past 4 - 5 years I've tested out hundreds of ink samples and patterns of what I really like are truly emerging now. I love inks that are nicely saturated with colors that are often bright and cheerful, I love great flow and I love shading. I also love for inks to be available which is not always easy in some cases where they are limited run or special editions.
Here are the 12 inks I talked about plus a link to my review if there is one. If I haven't reviewed it I will say so and link another good review for you to check out. I often watch ink reviews before purchasing a bottle of ink just to see what someone else's opinion of the ink is.
