Day 16 is Ruby Taffeta. It’s a pretty shimmer ruby as the name would imply. This one makes my keeper pile, but it’s another one that’s just ok.

Day 15 is a shimmering blue Frostbite. It’s fiiiine, I say. It’s a beauty, but I think it just takes a little more for a blue ink to get me jumping up out of my seat.

Day 14 is Mittens and are we smitten, kitten? 😌 - It’s a legible, bubblegum pigment pink that I can get on board with for sure! And it seems to behave quite well for a pigment ink. Solid entry.

Today is Molten Basalt and this is an interesting blue black (and I don’t say that that often about blue blacks). It’s giving Sailor Gakoro vibes, and I definitely want to try it on all the papers.

Another pigment ink today for Day 11 called Brrr! - but this one has shimmer - and I definitely can rock with this one more than Carousel. Even though it too is a little flat, I find it has a bit more personality and variation.

Today’s ink is beautiful - and it’s called Nostalgia. This one looks more brown in my ink journal but definitely has some more plum tones here. The chameleon shimmer is really lovely too.

Day 9 is Bittersweet, a refreshing minty turquoise-y green, and I quite like this one. It reminds me slightly of Mint Twist from last year’s calendar but without the shimmer. I like it!

Day 8: Dreamcatcher, our first “extreme sheen.” I’m honestly not vibing with this one AS much (though.. the swatch was a fun one). I just think it falls a bit flat in a world of blue inks with red sheen.

Day 7 is Blush. It’s a standard shading ink, that’s coming across a lot more dusty-looking in writing v. the swatch (which I love quite a bit more than the more vibrant tone the swatch is picking up). What do we think?

Day 5: Marie Rose and what a weird one (which is fine - I actually love weird colors)! I wasn’t sure what color it was going to be based on the label, but it’s an orangey coral (?) that definitely looks more orange when paired up with the Esterbrook Rocky Top.

And we’re back with a beauty with a scent. Day 4 is Smoky Tobacco and the scent is giving tall, dark, and handsome (👀). I love that it seems to be a well-behaved scented ink; I got no hint of feathering or heavy bleeding here!

Really digging day 2 of the Diamine Inkvent Calendar- this is Energy.. and though we’ve seen this purple/green sheen combo lots of times, I feel like there’s something fresh with this take (it may be that the sheen seems more matte? 🤔 hmm)- what do we think?

I’m back all of a sudden 🤭 with the 2025 diamine inkvent calendar! 🥳 day 1 was a strong start with Celestial Skies but I can’t help but to notice that it looks nearly identical to community-favorite, J.Herbin Emerald of Chivor, no? #inkvent2025 #fountainpens

Whew! It’s been a minute, my apologies. Butttt I’m in week 2 of a super fun twist on the 30 Inks, 30 Days challenge. Week 2 just went up today but make sure you check out the first one as well if you haven’t already for some literal “out of the box” hangs. yt.openinapp.co/nn7fd

my currently inked is going to be sooo much fun this month; I'm living for my moody version of spring (yes, it's dark but that's my vibe, haha), and i'm excited to get some beginner-friendly pens in the rotation and a few that's never been inked. chatting about it all here: yt.openinapp.co/ww5f1

Happy 2025! One of my “void week” projects was to finally (re)organize my inks, stickers, and stationery closer. It was getting a little unruly— Love the way it turned out!
