There is a bit of silver shimmer in today’s ink, “Noble Fir.” (And it kind of feels like we could all use some hope!)

Inkvent day two: “Wilted Rose,” a delicate rose gold ink that shows up a little more pink on the page than this photo indicates.

Inkvent day one: “Baltic Breeze,” a blue with shimmery gold tones. Very nice!

I miss the daily posting of #inkvent #inkvent2024

Need to figure something out what to do instead. Maybe weekly at least.
One thing I‘ll is re-swatch my first inkvent calendar because I didn‘t have the right paper/experience yet.

Any other ideas/suggestions?

😯 I did not expect this! Has it always been that the last ink fits the colour of the calendar?This one‘s a tricky one. Black-purple-green(?) with green-gold sheen which is barely visible because the ink is so dark.

A muted gold-brown with a hint of rose (?). Very classy! The shimmer shows up in this nib even. I like it! (Though why they didn‘t make THIS one scented is beyond me…)

A pretty and festive gold-green with sheen changing from dark blue-green to light green to gold. I like it!

This one‘s an interesting one! In writing it‘s a beautiful warm brown with a tiny hint of shimmer coming through. The swatch is a brown-grey-olive colour with gold shimmer. Lots to explore here!

The same red-purple metallic sheen as in „Vibe“ (Day 18) with a dark blue base this time, instead of green. I personally like it. Less festive, more Sci-fi 🤩

Now this is a rose colour I like! Beautiful shading which is great for painting with it. For writing there might be prettier choices.

Oh dear. The colour is much more neon in reality. In this weather a lovely spot of colour. Scent is artifical but subtle enough not to be too annoying.
Again no feathering with the scent.

That is a LOT of colour! I love the colour combination. At least this time the sheen is visible in writing as well 😍 Reminds me of a 25th inkvent colour, can’t recall the name.

A beautiful red-pink with shimmer ranging from red to pink to orange to gold. The shimmer and a bit of chameleon is even visible in writing 😍 I might get a full bottle just to see the gorgeous swirls 😌

A grey-brown which is not my thing but doesn‘t evoke the kind of antipathy that I had towards „Wilted Rose“. Not interesting in writing bit judging from the swatch it might do cool things in drawing/painting.

All caught up now! This one actually has neon-pink in its base which doesn‘t show up on this paper at all. But the writing is great and there‘s many things happening. This one I want to try with different nibs!

Another matching pen! 😱 The chameleon effect(purple) is barely visible for me but even without it I LOVE this colour! Full bottle maybe? The shimmer shows up in writing even (not the chameleon though).

Hah! For once I have a matching pen! Also my first thought: Wrong name. This is obviously „Cotton Candy“ (though that might have been used previously).

Back to the blue-grey bases. I like the blue part of the chameleon, not so sure about the purple part. Again, doesn‘t show up in writing even with the Fude nib.

After 3 days of blue-grey bases this makes for a lovely contrast in colour. Orange-pink base with green-gold sheen. Remembered the fude but obviously need writing practice 😅

The darkest dark blue, which is my favourite colour, so a not-boring blue. So much silver shimmer the blue is barely visible. But that also means it shows up in writing 😍

Grey base with purple to green-gold to dark green chameleon shimmer.
Again, the chameleon doesn‘t show up for me in writing.

Day 8: „Marley“, Standard

Now that‘s more like it. A pretty grey-purple which looks like it would have a great reaction to bleach if I were into this. Still not quite as pretty as some Sailor alcohol based inks.

Urgh. What is this? First of all it took me about 5 minutes to read the label. The chameleon colour looks lovely in the bottle but on paper like I didn‘t clean my brush from yesterday.

I‘m pretty sure it says Standard on my bottle! What a suprise when I found the green-gold sheen! I love the colour but Cranberries look different imho 😁

A lovely blue-grey which looks purple with silver shimmer. Very aptly named. I love the base colour even without the shimmer. Reminds me of Sailor inks.
