Now I’m super curious where they’re going to go next. Opening today’s door…. Day 17’s ink is called “Flame.” I tested, as per usual, using a borosilicate glass dip pen in a Maruman Mnemosyne notebook. This is totally a watercolor ink. Sheer and see-through in the bottle. Flame is a bright watercolor orange. It’s bothContinue reading “Diamine Inkvent 2022 – Day 17”

I’m a little unfair and really want this to be another interesting ink. Today’s door! *drumroll*………. Day 16’s ink is called “Serendipity.” I tested, as per usual, using a borosilicate glass dip pen in a Maruman Mnemosyne notebook. YAAAAAY ANOTHER INTERESTING ONE Serendipity is a blue-green somewhere between turquoise and teal. The ink writes dry,Continue reading “Diamine Inkvent 2022 – Day 16”

Okay, I expected calm last opening and I got a very pretty calming color. What’s next? Today’s door! *drumroll*………. Day 15’s ink is called “Pick Me Up.” (Also, how do I not notice these images are blurry until I’m trying to blog?) *ahem* I tested, as per usual, using a borosilicate glass dip pen inContinue reading “Diamine Inkvent 2022 – Day 15”

All right, at this point I expect Diamine to give us something simple to calm everyone down. Day 14’s ink is called “Three Kings.” I tested, as per usual, using a borosilicate glass dip pen in a Maruman Mnemosyne notebook. The paper in the Mnemosyne is good for sheening inks but isn’t as thin asContinue reading “Diamine Inkvent 2022 – Day 14”

I thought there was NO way that I would react to the next ink as well as I reacted to the last one. No freaking way. Day 13’s ink is called “Upon a Star.” I tested, as per usual, using a borosilicate glass dip pen in a Maruman Mnemosyne notebook. The paper in the MnemosyneContinue reading “Diamine Inkvent 2022 – Day 13”

A reminder content note here: 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 promiseContinue reading “Diamine Inkvent 2022 – Day 12”

Very curious about today’s door………. Day 11’s ink is called “Appletini.” I tested, as per usual, using a borosilicate glass dip pen in a Maruman Mnemosyne notebook. The paper in the Mnemosyne is good for sheening inks but isn’t as thin as Tomoe River, making it easier to use a sharp glass pen. Appletini isContinue reading “Diamine Inkvent 2022 – Day 11”
