I love blue inks.. 💙💙🩵💙💙 Diamine-Sargasso Sea. Monteverde-Horizon Blue. Namiki-Blue. Just for starters. Tsuki-yo is a sublime blue Jean blue. Iroshizuku inks do not disappoint.

Lovely!! 💙

The Wet Pen Rainier Blue is like Kon Peki with the bright pink sheen turned up, and KWZ X Galen Leather Sapphire Blue is an amazing vibrant blue with a slight dual shade to fuchsia and a very well mannered silver shimmer.

[@julia-here]

Wow! All of these sound amazing 😮

[@taccora]

My favorite blues are Troublemaker Milky Ocean, Rohrer & Klingner Sketch Freida, Kyo No Oto #7 Hisoku, and Vinta's Deepwater Blue Lucia

[@julia-here]

Ooo! I just got gifted Milky Ocean! It’s SO pretty! 😍

[@taccora]

@@julia-here It really is. I just love that blue! So much so I bought Nadeshiko as a place holder back when Troublemaker was so hard to get. Now both of those bottles are half way empty.

Ooh! Thank you for the tip of using a clear spoon to help with the swatches. I had been using a clear cylinder shaped acrylic stamp block but I found it difficult to control, especially when the ink starts to warp the paper. I tried the clear spoon as you show here and you get total control and is so much easier to shape your swatch. But time improvement! Thanks for that!

[@julia-here]

No problem! I’ve been loving the spoon for swatching all year; it’s really been a gamechanger. Hope you enjoy and happy holidays! 💕

I love Tsukiyo! I was surprised how much I love it but it leans so wonderfully green while still keeping the blue-black identity. I love bluerples: Diamine Bilbery and Lamy Crystal Azurite my favourites or the darker Herbin Bleu des Profondeurs. Pelikan Tanzanite for darker blue black. And my number one blues, it's a tie I think: Diamine Majestic Blue and Diamine Polar Glow. Beautiful shades and so well behaved. And affordable.

[@julia-here]

Gorgeous picks! Polar Glow is lovely!

Two more FWP inks for your list: Dusk in Bloom and Frontenac Blue 💙

[@julia-here]

Love Frontenac Blue!! Dusk in Bloom looks gorgeous 🫶🏽 thank you!

[@mixeddrinks8100]

Tsuki-yo #1 easily

[@julia-here]

Seems like a crowd favorite! I had no clue 🫶🏽

[@levon9]

Thanks for sharing. Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo and R.O's Fire & Ice are both top favorites, and I always have at least one pen inked up with each of these. Wasn't familiar with POTO, looks interesting, but quite pricy. I am just checking out a sample of Rohrer & Klingner Blue Eyed Mary, and it's quite lovely. Reminds me of Waterman's Inspired Blue (another great ink).

[@julia-here]

Haven’t heard of that Blue Eyed Mary and I need to try Inspired Blue at some point as well! Great additions! 🩵

Colorverse Nasa Blue a Drumgooles exclusive

[@julia-here]

Gorgeous! 🤌🏽

[@Volkmannx]

Another vote for Milky Ocean / Nadeshiko!

[@julia-here]

Nadeshiko would be in the top 10 for me absolutely! It’s so complex looking when it dries down 😍
