Ink Institute Meander Series - Mexican Hens

This is actually the first ink i've tried and after a week I can say i've really enjoyed it. It's an interesting color. It starts off as a more warm purple when it's first put down and then it dries to an almost grey/purple-blue color. I think giving the bottle a nice shake before filling your pen helps it be more of an even purple color. I keep this exclusively in my TWSBI Eco-T pen. Pretty.

This ink looks best in pure white paper than on cream papers like the Midori or Passepied cream papers. It starts off in a blue-pink-purple just like the Ink Institute Electric Blue Spider Lily, but changes into a blue-grey when dried. Not too dissimilar to another one of Ink Institute’s inks called “Cat at Dusk”, just that Mexican Hens is a lot less grey and lighter to the eye. The Chinese name for Mexican Hens is cute - “Dance of Gion /Qiyuan” - I learnt something new today.
