Customer Reviews
I ordered a sample of this ink. Swatched it in my Wearingeul Color Swatch Book and it looked like this. Beautiful but not same as photos. Wouldn’t order unless something is clarified.
Very pretty color but apparently true to all organics studio colors, I never fail to get them all over my hands for some reason lol they are a pain to wash off, and seem to be very heavily saturated or maybe just dry? inks, some of my pens have trouble with them and start skipping. But it’s a beautiful color I absolutely adore it I just have to watch out what pens I use it in!
The third picture on the listing (the one with the drip and smear tests) is the most accurate representation of what this ink looks like. It's a dark teal color with a pretty red sheen. The sheen is not as evident on more absorbent paper, but that's how it is with most sheens anyway. I meant to put it in a broad pen so I could see the shading better, but I mixed up my inks and accidentally filled an EF pen with it. To my surprise, the color+sheen is still present and lovely. However, I have a feeling this ink would look near-black in an ink with a heavier flow. Not a problem if that's what you dig, but if you're looking for a medium teal shown in most of the pictures here, you may be disappointed.
i got this and many other ink samples to augment my watercolor kit options... beautiful and unique results
I was looking for a medium blue ink for everyday note taking and journal entry. I was also looking for an ink that flowed well and was quick drying but with low to no bleeding on various journal papers. I obtained a sample of OS Alanine and gave it try. Except for spilling most of the sample on my hands (my fault trying to do too many things at once), the ink performed better than I hoped. The color was darker than what was displayed on line but I was glad for that. I have a few peacock/turquoise blue inks and a few navy/dark blue inks and the Alanine gaves me a blue color just right. I was using a Lamy Safari pen with an EF nib. The flow was great, the drying was very good and no bleed through. My only complaint was my clumsiness. I like the ink so much, I ordered the bottle size.
