Ooh, lovely picks! They’re perfect for autumn: you have the deep orange of the leaves turning colors, and the deep green of the evergreens. So pretty.

- Keeping it simple with just two colors. Which inks are you using this fall?

  - I have a Colorverse green inked up, plus Diamine Sunset. And this year I’m using Herbin Lie de The as my year-round ink, so that one as well.

    - That’s a colorful trio. Lie de The might be my favorite brown ink. 🙂

      - I’ve decided I really like it! I do have some other browns I enjoy too, but it’s a good one.

Tokiwa Matsu is one of the most beautiful inks I know, and the name (which I understand translates to ‘old pine’) is perfectly fitting. There are several gnarly old pine trees on an out-of-the-way rural road where I sometimes walk, and every time I pass them I think of that ink.
Sadly, I prefer water resistant inks, so I seldom use the Tokiwa Matsu. Maybe I should write more with it and think of the result as an exercise in non-attachment 🙂
