Haldan 1986 (Umber)

Color: A rich burnt sienna brown with warm, earthy undertones. The ink features an ivy-green sheen and mixed blue and copper metallic shimmer.

Special Note: The online swatches of this ink are beautiful, but I want to mention that if you're using a fine or extra-fine nib, you may not see much of its sheen or shimmer. The ink only display the brown base, so I'd recommend trying a broader nib to really enjoy all the little details that make this ink special!

Inspiration & Background: Inspired by the Bukidnon Creation Myth, in which three divine beings created the world and named it "Haldan Ta Paraiso," meaning "Garden of Paradise." The story celebrates the beauty of nature, reflected in the ink's earthy brown base and vibrant green sheen. The 1986 reference comes from the publication year of the book documenting this version of the myth.
