I finished my out-of-sync #Inkvent!
#Ink #Inkvent2025
Today's thematically unpredictable inksperiment! Check the shimmer on that red.
#Ink #Inkvent #Tomato
Two small squares of pearlescent paper with triangular Celtic knots on them. There is a 7-pointed star in the center of each knot. The closest/leftmost is a red-brown knot with a raspberry shimmer where the light hits it just right, and a pale cold blue star. The more distant/rightmost one is purple with a gold star.
Here is a still of the latest masking inksperimentation. The one on the left uses the Diamine Nostalgia and Brrr! inks from the 2025 #Inkvent calendar. The one on the right uses Jacques Herbin Violet Impérial and the Diamine Bubbly.

And now my basic review set for Diamine #Inkvent 2025 is done! However, I'm continuing with other ink reviews until Jan 7th, and I'll have comparison videos up next month on my Patreon, here: www.patreon.com/cw/RisaWolf
Free to join, but the ink reviews are at the Worldbuilding tier.
Ink swatch in a notebook. The swatch is inside a stamp of an ornamental bottle and a red fountain pen is placed diagonally beneath the swatch.
Just inked my fountain pen with an ink from this year’s Inkvent calendar 🌸

Look at this post. This is wild. The layouts and swatches and comparisons take so much work. I’d never have tackled this project!

Photo: twenty five A5 sized sheets of white paper, taped to a white interior wall in five rows of five. Each day features calligraphy, a swatch, a a drawing or painting done in one color of ink from the 2025 Diamine Inkvent calendar. It is mostly dark colors in the photo, but there are some pops of cheerful color.
Photo: calligraphy on a white page, English style cursive in a rich orange-brown ink with pearly silver shimmer. It reads Merry Crisis Holly Jolly Nervous Breakdown
And #inkvent 2025 is complete! With a special extra for @ludozerca.bsky.social 🧡💕
Cheers ’til next year!

Diamine Frostbite. A blue ink with tons of copper shimmer
A bad photo of a magenta/grape ink with a green sheen
#Inkvent 2026 faves
2: Frostbite
The deep blue to copper shimmer is very noticeable even with my notoriously bad luck with shimmers
1: Chaos
This one really grew on me over the past week and wants me to write renaissance Venice with it. Of all the inks it's the one that sparked the most ideas.
Diamine Laurel. Deep green ink with a purple sheen
Diamine Celestial Skies. Teal ink with gold sparkle.
Diamine Molten Basalt. A complex blue-grey ink with golden brown sheen in the pooling
#Inkvent 2026 fave roundup
5: Laurel
I wrote all my Christmas cards with this. Shiny yet functional.
4: Celestial Skies.
I do have Emeraude De Chivor in a daily writing pen and this will be a fine replacement.
3: Molten Basalt
The ink so odd I want to write something specifically for it.

Photo: white page laid vertically on a dark desk, with pens at the left and a long rectangular ink bottle at the right. Teal calligraphy, a swatch, and a painting take up the page. In places the ink sheens pink. It reads “Merry Christmas, happy New Year! Here’s a toast: to me and you, dear! December 25 (there is a painting of three stockings hanging from a fireplace) Myrrh the Merrier”
Photo: calligraphy on a white page, the word “December” (partially cut off by the angle of the photo. The ink appears to be a shiny, vivid pink-purple, with some blue shimmer
Photo: calligraphy on a white page, the word “you”. The ink is a deep teal, with shiny, vivid pink-purple sheen in all areas where ink pooled (mostly low on the letters)
#Inkvent Day 25: Myrrh the Merrier
A very myrrhy inkvent to the pink sheen lover behind the levers at Diamine. 😂 This has blue shimmer, too, very pretty. Gotta lay it down quite thick to see a lot of both.

Ink names written in those inks. 21. Chaos 22. Pineapple Spritz 23. Let It Snow 24. Antler 25. Myrrh the Merrier
Final #inkvent! A strong finish, or maybe it's the meds.
21. Love an acid green.
22. I like the warmth of this, and now I want pineapple upside-down cake.
23. Nice and bright and sparkly!
24. Not usually a fan of brown but the purple gives it a nice depth.
[re: Diamine Inkvent 2025, Day 25]
Myrrh the merrier, shimmer and sheen
The big finale of the calendar, a nice deep blue with teal hints, glitter, and sheen. Mayhaps not my favorite but I can't deny it's a pretty one!

#Inkvent Day 25: Myrrh the Merrier.
A dark teal ink with purple sheen, green and blue tones and blue shimmer. So much going on with this one. A fitting end. Merry Inkmas one and all!

#Inkvent 25 - Myrrh The Merrier
A quite desaturated dark teal with a vaguely dark purple sheen. It's supposed to have a turquoise shimmer which is there at the bottom of the bottle but I couldn't see any on the page. Bit disappointing
Happy Christmas/applicable solstice holiday of choice everyone!
Ink swatch with two bottle stamps. The top swatch is light purple and the bottom swatch is dark blue with shimmer and red sheen.

Day 22 of #inkvent was "Pineapple spritz", a chameleon pigment ink. Forgot to post this a couple of days ago. I'm not a fan of this ink. I did some practice sketches but it was hard to move or dilute.

Day 23 of #inkvent was "Let it snow", a chameleon ink. That chameleon shimmer is pretty (see close-up). The ink is not something I would use daily--I don't normally use this color, but it would be good for sea or sky. Here are some otters wishing you a happy holiday season.
An ink swatch card reading Diamine Inkvent 24 Antler. The ink is a sort of purple-greige that is very hard to describe. Somhow a bit brown, purple, and gray all at once.
Diamine #Inkvent day 24!
Antler is a pigment, and such an odd shade. Is it brown? Purple? Gray?
