January 2026

We're starting the year by testing out some small changes in our fountain pen ink formula. You're getting two inks this month that feature the slightly altered formula - Raygun and Faraday. Let us know what you think by sending us an email at [email protected]. The two other inks in boxes this month are Faerie Dust - a top-selling color for 2025, and Elderberry - an underappreciated wine red. We hope you'll like them as much as we do.

Deluxe subscribers got two extra watercolors this month. The first is Phthalo Teal. We love the punch of this bluish green and think it pairs well with the other warm colors you're getting. The other extra watercolor is Pale Prussian. This one is extra special because the only other way to get this color is in a set, it's not available for sale as a single half-pan. It's a reformulated Prussian Blue that gives a more subtle, moody feel. 

So bright, so much sparkle in this month's Sticky Cap selections. Morgan recreated a past color, Iroki, and created a new color, Parhelion. Both are full of sparkly gold. We also included Sunflower Yellow gouache, Meteor, Peachy Keen, and Basic Red. I passed some daffodils starting to grow and saw the first few camellias on the tree outside my house, both inspired me to select a vibrant warm palette as I impatiently anticipate spring. I hope you're all having a creative start to 2026. Tag us in your creations at @pushpullseattle if you want to showoff what you are making.
