To counter the gray day, color invaded my desk.
What perks up your day?

Right now, my Edison Collier persimmon swirl pen is inked with Noodler’s Apache Sunset. Prior to that, I was using Diamine’s Pumpkin colour. Those colours are always a hit, and also any of the peacock-blue shades, such as Waterman’s South Seas Blue (I realize it’s been re-named), or Noodler’s Black Swan in Australian Roses.

I like yellow, too, but not so much in ink. For several years, my childhood bedroom was yellow and provided a cheerful way to begin the day. Is there a yellow ink you like?

It’s another good reason to find a white paper for my journal. It’s just the sort of thing to post on Instagram and I want the color to be as accurate as possible. 🙂
