New Year - New Subscription boxes. Here's everything that went in the boxes this month. Folks that selected the Ink or Watercolor Boxes will only receive the products in those categories.

From the top down.
Tempest (top) and Night Terror (second down) ink stones. It's been a while since we made ink stones, and these are a reminder of why, but also how beautiful of an art supply they create. Ink stones are a combination of dye and pigment. Unlike the paints we make, these take a minimum of one week to cure. To use them, just get a wet brush or drop water into a small dish with the stone. Ink stones contain enough to create at least 8oz of ink. Both of these inks have some water resistance depending on what type of paper you use. You can use them with dip pens or brushes. They're great for travel since they don't count as a liquid!

Peppermint Mocha Drawing Ink. This is a rich brown drawing ink dedicated to our favorite winter indulgence. Shake gently before using. Use with dip pens & brushes.

Jazzy Fountain Pen Ink. Jazzy is named after Maxx's child, Jazz. They requested a fountain pen for the holidays and Maxx couldn't resist also making them an ink in their favorite color - sparkly lavender. Use in fountain pens or with dip pens or brushes.

Sweet-Art watercolor set. These round treats aren't candy, but they were inspired by it! This set that comes in a heart tin will be released in time for Valentine's day. It's our first Valentine set and we hope you enjoy it. The paints come in little paper cups. These have a waterproof lining. You can use them to hold a little water or as a mixing palette.

Burlesque, Fen & Casbah: Three new colors of Sticky Caps. These colors all came from asking the question "What if...?" Burlesque started with one of our brightest red pigments and was mellowed into a dusty rose filled with shine thanks for carefully selected mica. Fen took two of our standard pigments to create a moody deep teal. Casbah mixed standard pigments and micas to create a soft warm violet with silver shine.

To use any dry materials, run a wet brush along them or use a dropper to add water. When you've used all your paint, you can bring them back to Push/Pull where they'll get cleaned and turned into a future batch of Sticky Caps.
