August School Ink Palettes

It’s the first Sunday of August, so it’s time for some new ink palettes! This month I decided to focus on a school theme since my kids start school at the end of the month. I love Bungubox Kaoru! It’s not a very common color, and I love how unique it is.

I always think of colored pencils when I think of school. I love all five of these, especially Jacques Herbin Orange Soleil.

I love playing scrabble. Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-peki is my favorite out of these five, but I also really love Kosumosu.

Out of these five, I love Robert Oster Fire and Ice the most. I think it was my first Robert Oster ink, and I still love it.

July Tropical Ink Palettes

It’s the first Sunday of July, so it’s time for some new ink palettes! This month I decided to focus on a tropical theme. These flowers are gorgeous, and all sorts of pretty pinks. Paper Plume Garden District Azalea has been a longtime favorite of mine.

I always think of fruit in the summer. I love all five of these, they’re so bright and cheerful!

My brother and sister-in-law have a few parrots, so I decided to include one this month. Octopus Red Koala is one of my new favorite red inks.

Out of these five, I love KWZ El Dorado the most. It’s a readable yellow with a lot of character.

October Autumn Ink Palettes

It’s October first, so it’s time for some new ink palettes! This Platinum Chou Kuro is one of my new favorite inks! It’s smooth, wet and nice and dark.

Octopus Fluids Black Elephant is a really dark black, but it does have a long dry time.

My ten-year-old is obsessed with Harry Potter right now! Sailor Jentle Black is one of my all-time favorite black inks. It’s just so smooth and juicy, and keeps up when I’m writing multiple pages at a time.

Platinum Carbon Black is another favorite black-I love how water-resistant it is!

June Rainbows Ink Palettes

It’s been too long since I did an ink palettes post, so it’s time! In June I want all the bright happy rainbows of ink. Sailor Jentle Irori has been a long-time favorite red of mine.

It’s so hard to pick a favorite Robert Oster blue, but if I had to it would be Blue Water Ice.

It’s Pride month and the flag fits in with my rainbow theme perfectly! Diamine Apple Glory is such a bright happy green.

Robert Oster Yellow Sunset is one of my favorite yellow inks. Let me know what inks you’re using for June in the comments below!

December Christmas Ink Palettes

Christmas is coming! Christmas is my favorite time of year, I can’t wait to do all of the holiday things. I make a lot of cookies this time of year, and Graf von Faber-Castell Cognac Brown is such a good cookie brown.

I love metallics for wrapping presents! Diamine Brandy Snap is a great golden brown.

My tree is full of metallic glass ornaments. Monarca Arena Blanca is the closest ink I have to a metallic white.

I love all five of these colors together! Diamine Ocher matches almost anything.

I love all five of these inks individually, you can’t go wrong with any of them. Let me know what inks you’re using for December in the comments below!

November Foliage Ink Palettes

We are deep into November and I’m here for all the fall colors. In November I reach for oranges and browns, especially close to Thanksgiving. Colorverse Martian is an ink that’s grown on me over time.

Pastel inks are in fashion right now, so why isn’t anyone talking about Diamine Warm Brown? It’s a lovely pastel brown.

Birmingham Golden Ale was from the now discontinued ink subscription. I wish it was still available because it’s such a good color!

There are so many good inks in this one! KWZ Old Gold is one of my must-haves for fall. Let me know what inks you’re using for November in the comments below!

Mariner 4 is my favorite ink from this palette, I just love the color!

Bungubox 4B is my favorite from this palette, it’s so smooth but unfortunately super pricey too!

July Greys

We’ve hit the middle of July! Since it’s been abnormally hot here in Washington, berry season has come short and early. I spent yesterday making our jam for the year-blackberry, blueberry, raspberry and strawberry. I love Monteverde Cherry Danish for a deep cherry red.

The local farmer’s market finally has some flowers showing up, I love seeing the rainbow of colors. Papier Plume Garden District Azalea is one of my favorite pinks.

I love grey inks! In the last few days we’ve reviewed a few and for the rest of July we’ll take a look at a few more. Pilot Iroshizuku Kiri-same is a grey I reach for again and again.

We homeschool our kids, so I spend the summer deciding on the next year’s curriculum and it makes me want all the graphite grey inks. I use Diamine Grey and Robert Oster Graphite often.

I hope everyone is having a great July! What’s your favorite ink today? Let me know in the comments below!

June Teals

June starts tomorrow! Summer doesn’t officially start until June 20th but I’m already craving the bright summery colors. While we are still in the very end of spring I’m loving dusky colors like Robert Oster Choc Pudding and Dusky Pink.

Teal is my favorite color and I’m a sucker for all things teal. This palette is made up of a lot of my favorite teals-Sailor Yama-dori and Diamine Soft Mint being two of my long-time favorites.

Robert Oster Monsoon Sky and Morning Mist are two less popular teals but they are perfect for this palette and wonderful inks too!

Teal and orange go so well together in the summer-Paradise Blue and Manago Mousse are so cheerful together!

I love everything about this one! I’m pretty sure I will be using these five inks together for the rest of the summer because they look so good together!

I hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day! What’s your favorite ink today? Let me know in the comments below!
