Organics Studio Foggy Bottom (yellow sepia)

Special Edition Ink / Sepia Series

The D.C. Pen Show 2012

 

Quite a lot on that label. The bottle says "yellow sepia" but it seems more red than yellow to my eye. The color is very nice, and the ink writes smoothly with some shading even in this Esterbrook 9668. If nobody beats me to it, I'll try to put together some samples with a flexier nib.

 

Here are some comparisons, ranging from Riku-Cha and Burma Road Brown (greener browns) to Noodler's Eternal Brown and Herbin Lie de The (fairly neutral browns) to De Atrementis Khaki (very yellow brown). I also threw in Noodler's Whaleman's Sepia, which is always a bit of an outlier on the purple end.

Wow! Great looking ink!

 

I really wish I had the ability to get down to the show to pick some of this up, but alas, time was not my friend this weekend. Now, just to beg Tyler incessantly until he will sell me some... :blink:

I absolutely love the name of this ink! I'd buy some just for that except that I have a huge bottle of Diamine Ancient Copper that I need to use up first.

I can't stop buying pens and it scares me.

This ink looks gorgeous! Thanks for the quick review mstone.

 

It looks like Tyler's managed to create two really nice looking browns that I'll need to try sometime soon. ;)

I knew this review would show up soon! :) We have a few bottles that we are going to put up on our site VERY SOON! Once the 100 are gone, this color will be gone (for now, at least ;) )

I picked up a sample of that one, but I haven't used it yet. It looks really nice in your photos, though. The Stipula ink that they were giving away (in huge bottles) is kinda sepia-ish too, but it's way more brown.

So what's the story behind the "yellow sepia" characterization? Difference in perception, batch variation, an even redder one in the works, something else?

I had to look at this for a good while and think about it longer before I recalled a Los Angeles restaurant sold a Foggy Bottom hamburger. That is a burger dressed with peanut butter. (I kept reading past that point on the menu.) The ink color does look a bit peanut butter-ish with a bit of imagination.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
