    Stoker’s Ladybug 2 parts Ladybug 1 part Stoker’s Ash Stoker’s Ash is a winner in its collaborations with the first two of February’s red inks.

    Amaryllis Ash 2 parts Amaryllis 1 part Stoker’s Ash Now we’re moving on to the five “reds” in the Atomink Element collection. Over the next five days, we’ll mix each of them with Stoker’s Ash, just to see what applying a grey-black does to these colors. Today’s lab result is a very nice lavender with…

    Nikola’s Hadron Collider 1 part Interstellar Bronze 2 parts Tesla Coil Now we’re cooking with gas! I was nearly positive this would be mud, or at least worse than yesterday’s.
