I created this ink at Dominant Industry’s Ink Laboratory in Paju, Korea, so I won’t do a full review. We made two inks, and although the first ink was made to be a gift, this one was for me! I love deep orange reds, and I love how it turned out. (Check out the pictures from the Ink Laboratory at the bottom of this post!)

We visited in November, and with this color profile and the touch of shimmer, the name Autumn Fire felt right.

When you finish making your ink, you create a recipe card so you can make more in the future. The wax-sealed envelope was a nice touch. As you can see in the recipe, the deep red orange is accented lightly with a combination of gold and violet shimmers. I really tried to be restrained in the amount of shimmer I added. I think the result is pretty unique and quite beautiful (and I hope you do, too!)

Thanks again, to the owner 이성광 (Mr. Lee), and the Dominant Industry team!
