Normally ‘Ink Of The Month’ is just that, a singular ink. This time however, I’ve decided, as a one off, to look at a range. The range in question, as you will have guessed from the title, is the Mabie Todd Blackbird Inks offering six different colours named after various wild birds; Mallard Green, Starling Purple, Sand Martin Brown, Robin Red, Kingfisher Blue and Blackbird Black.

That was until a few days ago when I was looking for something and I moved a box and heard the unmistakeable rustle of a paper bag and knew I had struck Muji gold.

For this month I have chosen KWZ’s Brown Pink. I purchased this KWZ ink on a whim, I was intrigued by the name and couldn’t understand how you could create such an unusual colour. Continue reading “Ink Of The Month – July ’18”
