The Cozy Corner

I didn't even see him sign the blood contract sans Swahili underwriting.....sigh. this is becoming a common trope in Cozy. Presses his pre-recorded message, " a moment of silence for our brother, and everyone say it with me - the poor bastard...."

Ugh.... where's @EyesOnHers prosecco....😖



*Edit. double sigh and ticks the prosecco counter another tick
 
I love Tomoe River paper - that’s my preferred journal type. I use a Hobonichi Cousin and that’s how I started on that paper. I do realize some inks stay wet and use blotting paper. More general purpose but a sheen or pearlescent (sparkle girl gets happy) not concerned about fade proof really. Quick drying is good but that’s dependent on the ink and paper combo. Color preference is an any type of blue into teal blue/greens for fun. Pink and corals also good. I’ve plenty of black, but a good grey would be nice.

Thank you in advance too.

I'm a diehard Tomoe River user as well so that'll be easy. For a while, that paper was the hardest thing to get in Aus until I found someone who made custom notebooks with it and ordered a bunch. At risk of turning this into an almanac, I'll list five in each category and try to incorporate the colours you do/would use. I'll only list inks that I've had experience with and can swear by recommending or have had reviews from IRL friends. If you don't have a Kakimori Dip Nib already, it's great for ink testing and swatching.

General Purpose
- Troublemaker Abalone. Blue ink that shades purple. Has subtle shading but is generally okay for office use.
- Iroshizuku Fuyushogun. A moody grey ink with undertones of blue. This might be the grey for you.
- Diamine Coral. A fan favourite if you like coral inks. It's a salmon coral colour and has really good flow.
- De Atramentis Document Fog Grey. I use this as a highlight on my watercolours too. Bit of a specialty ink but it dries pretty quickly on Tomoe River.
- J. Herbin Vert Atlantide. A really beautiful dark forest green. This one is really poetic for letters.

Sheening/Shading
- Robert Oster Tinseltown. Blueish-purple ink that shimmers gold. The mica is very eye-catching but a good pen flush is recommended after you're done with this.
- Organics Studio Nitrogen. Notoriously long dry time but somewhat of a cult ink for its legendary red sheen.
- Sailor Dipton Ice Dance. Blue with an aurora borealis-like silvery shimmer. Iridescent.
- Colorverse Witch by Starlight. One of my recent favourites. A multitonal, witchy purple colour that evokes the magickal arts. Some blue and pink tones. It's a very special ink.
- Wearingeul Frankenstein. Soft spot for Gothic literature but this also happens to be a very pretty, vibrant azurite purple with a violet undertone. Good shading variation.

Hehe. I speak many languages. Bouldering is another sport that has very unique in-group vernacular and terminology.
