lol!
@AnasaziWrites - it's true that like a small child, I have busted into the Inkvent inks. Which are beautiful! And some of them this year are
scented! (oops, that was a spoiler, but not a very big one)
Friends, my beloved spouse actually caught me opening up the whole box (not just the little doors; I mean I had just finished spatchcocking the thing), lifted an eyebrow and said - "Oh, I see you did not bother waiting for me to order them this year. And I see we are dispensing with the charade of opening them one at a time, as if you cared about Advent. I suppose as you are not
that sort of Christian, it's allowable." This is my soul-mate. My sun and moon. The person I hid the mite-infested turkey quills from (previously:

But the ink I used for the "Camping" drawing is from one of my favorite brands - Sailor - from their Shikiori (four seasons) line. It's called "Tokiwa matsu" (evergreen pine). I'm experimenting with it in preparation for a wedding commission I have due in February (they want a framable, illuminated / decorated presentation of their vows).
