Two greys, three blues, a green, a brown and a pink. Nearly all of the tones are unsaturated and cool. Dusty blues and greens are easy on the eyes. I find unsaturated colors calming; and we can all use a little comfort nowadays. I’m quite at home with this week’s currently inked.

Into the land of B –– The setup for this week stands out of character. I now have five B nibs and four ground nibs inked. The comforting world of EF line widths that is typically my notebooks are momentarily in the rear-view.

Subduing the sparkle. This week is all about balance. With winter approaching I’m feeling an earthy ink palette. Shimmer inks will brighten the moodiness of this week’s colors. Seven of eight new inks are from samples.

The muted glory of random selection. Some weeks it takes some time to choose my pen and ink combinations. This week, I tried a new strategy. I asked my partner to pick inks randomly, using their numbers in my ink collection Google Sheet. The result was great!
