Bull Kelp Ink

Description

Bull Kelp (sometimes called “bullwhip kelp”) is the species of kelp found in the waters of the Pacific Northwest,  supporting sea otters, seals and sea lions, porpoises and whales, and countless other types of sea life. If you kayak, you’re likely to paddle through the patches of leaves that drift on the surface, but if you walk along the beach, you’ll often see the whole whip-shaped stalk with their bulbous ends.

This ink was inspired by the colors found in the kelp that I found while walking on Rialto Beach last month after some stormy weather. The color offers good shading, and even the thin portions are surprisingly vibrant, despite the olive tone.

Safe for all fountain pens. Do not ingest.
