We’re at the last two, now, so I’m rubbing my hands anticipating some really good ones. Let’s see what’s behind the penultimate door! *drumroll*…. Day 24’s ink is called “One more Sleep.” (Why is the “more” in that title lower case? I have no freaking idea. Let’s just run with it.) I tested, as perContinue reading “Diamine Inkvent 2022 – Day 24”

I seeeeriously doubt the next ink can beat yesterday’s. (We shall see!) The 23rd door! *drumroll*…. Day 23’s ink is called “Celebration.” I tested, as per usual, using a borosilicate glass dip pen in a Maruman Mnemosyne notebook. My first, and really only, thought is “Bright!” Celebration is an intensely bright orange red with aContinue reading “Diamine Inkvent 2022 – Day 23”

I have all fingers crossed that today’s is better. Aaand behind door 22? *drumroll*…. Day 22’s ink is called “Deck the Halls.” I tested, as per usual, using a borosilicate glass dip pen in a Maruman Mnemosyne notebook. oooooh. OOOOOH. First, no I do NOT love it just because it’s purple. In my defense, evenContinue reading “Diamine Inkvent 2022 – Day 22”

And how are they going to follow up yesterday’s pretty?? Today’s door! *drumroll*…. Day 21’s ink is called “Cosy Up.” I tested, as per usual, using a borosilicate glass dip pen in a Maruman Mnemosyne notebook. ….. *deep breath* Before I get into this, quick CW: vivid, possibly unpleasant description of an unusual texture. OKAY.Continue reading “Diamine Inkvent 2022 – Day 21”

Today’s door! *drumroll*…. Day 20’s ink is called “Arctic Blast.” I tested, as per usual, using a borosilicate glass dip pen in a Maruman Mnemosyne notebook. Well isn’t THIS a pretty! Arctic Blast is a rich, saturated blue in shades of denim, cobalt, and cerulean. It includes a ton of silver-blue shimmer. It does writeContinue reading “Diamine Inkvent 2022 – Day 20”

I really needed a nice ink after yesterday’s disappointment. Today’s door! *drumroll*…. Day 19’s ink is called “Silent Night.” I tested, as per usual, using a borosilicate glass dip pen in a Maruman Mnemosyne notebook. What a relief. What an incredible relief. So this is, for all intents and purposes, an ordinary ink. It’s aContinue reading “Diamine Inkvent 2022 – Day 19”

Your every-6th-day content note: I understand Advent is a Christian artifact, regardless of its presence in my life and ancestry as a cultural event. I am not Christian, though much of my family is, and I am not happy with the Christianization of secular culture despite having grown up immersed in it. I promise toContinue reading “Diamine Inkvent 2022 – Day 18”
