    Inkistry 2025 – 25 January

    Growling Fire Lily 1 part Fire Hydrant 2 parts Tiger Lily I have a couple of reactions to today’s time in the Inkistry Lab, and I’m not sure how well any of it will show in the photographs. The first is that Fire Hydrant remains strongly present even with a doubling of Fire Lily. The…

    Fire Lily 1 part Fire Hydrant 1 part Tiger Lily From a request, we’ve combined Fire Hydrant and Tiger Lily in a 1 to 1 ratio. It’s a nice result, and I’m wondering if tomorrow I’ll add a little more Tiger Lily to it, and then maybe some Tesla? Any ideas where to take the…

    Inkistry 2025 – All the Atomink Elements!

    Here they are. Remember, the first four days of January were an introductory Inkistry experiment. Share your ideas for color combinations and I’ll give them a try! The idea will be to play with a simple formula and add to it for a few days. Welcome to the lab!

I do not have Snapdragon or Yorkshire Canary, not do I have the Dilution Solution or Twinkle Sprinkler, two “elixirs” that are part of the collection. As I mentioned, Birmingham Pen Company is…

    Today we arrive at Stoker’s Ash. Both Sterling Silver and Stoker’s Ash seem like they might have great things to offer our Inkistry experiments. See my question below about skills…
