Inkmas Day 12: Ana’s Favorite Inks for 2025 First, Merry Christmas! And thanks for sharing your December with us. We love this community and love sharing our passions with you. I am so excited to close Inkmas this year with my favorite inks for 2025. I went through my planner and the lists I make each month of the inks I used each…

Inkmas Day 11 – Robert Oster Santa’s Hangover and Elf’s Cap For my final contribution to Inkmas I wanted to do something fun. When I spotted this duo of Robert Oster inks at Vanness I knew they needed to be an entry. First off, I just love the names and how playful they are! Santa’s Hangover (50mL for $19) is an orangey red. If I’m honest…

Inkmas Day 10: Robert Oster Sinner’s Weed I picked a bunch of different green inks for Inkmas (Earth Green and Kelp Forest) this year because, in case you didn’t know, green is my favorite color, particularly mossy, yellow-y greens. So, I was excited to get a sample of Robert Oster Sinner’s Green. Its one of five inks in the Oster “Sinner” series…

Inkmas Day 9: Kobe Lampwork Museum Maroon I love that Kobe Nagasawa has been creating inks inspired by places in Kobe like the Chocolate Museum and this most recent release: Kobe Lampwork Museum Maroon. Many of their ink colors are inspired by plants, places and other elements that are in the Kobe area. I think its a great way to create and…

Inkmas Day 8: Diamine Lady Grey (Reddit Edition) I was excited to get a suggestion to review the new Diamine Lady Grey (Reddit Edition). I love Diamine’s Earl Grey ink (not to mention I love Earl Grey and Lady Grey tea too) so I was curious to see how different the Lady Grey ink would be. Lady Grey ink is a more purple-y…

Inkmas Day 7 – Laura’s 2025 Top Inks As I have been thinking about this post for the past several days, I realized that I am no where near as organized as Thien Kim was about her review. I ended up going more by gut feel, which means I probably have some recency bias (more inclination towards what I have been using more…

Inkmas Day 6: Taccia Roughna Sketch Ink – Earth Green Taccia makes some unique inks, very much influenced by Japanese history and culture with deep, complex colors. Their line of Roughna Sketch Inks are no different. I picked up a sample of the Earth Green ($32 for a 40ml bottle) which is a sheening olive-y green. And if you’ve been around this site for very…

Inkmas Day 5: Robert Oster Melbourne Pen Show 2025 – Kelp Forest Robert Oster Kelp Forest (50ml for $ 19) was created for the Melbourne Pen Show 2025 and is kind of a dual-shading mossy green. When its lightly applied to paper with a fine nib, the color is a shading low saturated yellowy green. When there is heavy coverage on the rright kinds of paper, there…

Inkmas Day 4: My 2025 Top Inks I know it’s only mid-December, but I’ve probably re-inked my pens for the last time this year so it’s recap time! This is the first year I’ve put all my data into a spreadsheet to figure out what inks I used the most. But we’ll get to that later. My 2025 Ink Intentions In 2024,…

Inkmas Day 3: Sailor Manyo Ukikusa I couldn’t kick my contributions to Inkmas off without a green? I actually bought a bottle of Sailor Manyo Ukikusa (50mL for $24) a few months ago, but then decided to hold onto it for a little Inkmas fun. The Sailor Manyo line is a collection of inks inspired by the leaves and flowers of…

Inkmas Day 2: Colorverse USA Idaho- Giant Potato Over the summer, I kept seeing the little USA Series bottles from Colorverse at various pen shows and when I saw Giant Potato (15ml bottle for $15) I knew I needed to grab a sample of it. I know that making the ink for Idaho a potato brown color is probably a little simplistic view…

Inkmas Day 1: Oblation Papers Oblation Olive When my sister planned our family vacation in Portland, Oregon this summer, I knew I had to visit Oblation Papers & Press. It’s a beautiful, well-curated shop full of stationery, pens, inks, and vintage typewriters. It’s a writer’s dream shop! Of course I had to purchase some of their exclusive inks. After much deliberation, I…

Inkmas time is here again! It’s that time of year — it’s Inkmas time again! We take this time each year to celebrate our love for ink and hopefully catch up on all some of the ink reviews we’ve put off all year. We’ll be doing quick reviews, comparisons and collection overviews — or whatever strikes our fancy. From now until…
