Hey Honeys!

Day 14 brings us Snow Storm, a shimmering grey ink that feels like a tempest captured in a bottle. This one evokes the drama of a stormy sea—subtle, moody, and full of hidden shimmer waiting to shine through the gloom.

Today’s Colour: Snow Storm

This grey has an undeniable stormy charm. The shimmer dances across the surface like flashes of silver amidst dark, churning clouds. It’s a colour that doesn’t demand attention but rewards those who take a closer look with its understated magic.

Testing the Ink

  • Dominant Industry Ink Muddler (glass nib): The glass nib laid down the colour lightly, like a shipwrecked vessel being battered by gentle waves. It’s not bold, but the shimmer keeps the storm alive.
  • Sailor Hocoro (medium nib): With the medium nib, the ink darkens like rainclouds circling overhead, ready to release their downpour. The shimmer begins to shine through the gloom, adding depth.
  • Kakimori brass nib: The Kakimori took this ink to its peak—thick, stormy strokes that brought the full force of the tempest to the page, with shimmer glowing like lightning in the clouds.

Final Thoughts

Snow Storm is a masterclass in subtlety. It’s perfect for anyone who loves grey tones with a touch of shimmer and the emotional resonance of a gathering storm. Whether you’re sketching stormy seas or writing a moody holiday card, this ink has you covered.

Catch the storm in action on the video below, and let me know if it has you dreaming of cosy days and dramatic skies!

Stay inspired, Honeys—rain or shine!
