Today’s ink is Antler, and it’s a pigment ink, and I really love the tone of this warm reddish brown. It’s so cozy, and I love it even more matched up with this Wildflower pen.

Pen match: tailored pen co., wildflowers

Day 23 is Let It Snow and it’s a frosty blue (leaning turquoise) with bright silver shimmer. I’m not jumping for joy, but it is really lovely, and I dig the icy vibes when paired up with the White Beach Benu Euphoria.

Day 22 is Pineapple Spritz, a pigment shimmery yellow gold. I dig it specifically for the pen I’ve matched it with here. It seems pretty legible, but I definitely want to give it a spin before I claim as much.

Pen match: Leonardo mz euphoria

Day 21 is Chaos.. and man, It’s a fun one! Will be a keeper. And of course I had to cause a little chaos myself by mix and matching my two Waterman Carenes for a more spot-on match.

Pen match: waterman carene

Day 20 we’re all about the ambience, a shimmery peachy coral. It’s quite different for my collection. I couldn’t find a spot-on match for this one, but I do think this pen compliment is fun.

#inkvent2025 Day 18 , Extreme Sheen
Inspired by the third ghost (Christmas Future)
The ink was heavily saturated, but dilution brought out a bit of the chromo. I think it would have worked better on watercolor paper. i just don't have the time today.

Day 18 is Laurel.. a sheen queen brooding green: love 🤌🏽- the sheen IS a lot, and I do love the base color more than the sheen, but it’s still a winner in my book.

Pen match: pilot kakuno, garage hobby custom

For Day 17, we’re headed to a Gala! This one is a very soft and dreamy standard lilac. Not mad at it!
.
pen match: Pilot vp, starry moon
#inkvent2025 #fountainpenink #inkswatch #fountainpencommunity #diamineinkvent
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.
.
pen match: sailor king of pen Moroccan tea, Nissan

#inkvent2025 #fountainpenink #inkswatch #fountainpencommunity #diamineinkvent
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.

Pen match: penbbs 469, starry night

Writing on a white page. The ink is brown with gold sparkles and it is called nutmeg. The writing sample testing out the ink is a cocktail recipe for an eggnog punch that also includes blended whiskey and light rum. Each class gets sprinkled with nutmeg.
Oh, this one is lovely! “Nutmeg” has some gold sparkles in it. A bit tough to capture in a photo, but a delight to write with. (And a much more seasonally appropriate cocktail this time!)

I really enjoy this one (finally a brownish ink!). I love this pen/ink match so much (though I would probably never actually put this ink in this vintage pen) 💕

Even though this is giving ‘vibe’ vibes, I love this one! If we can have multiple fruity failures, we can also have a cool dark sheening duo. 😎😎

It feathers…wasn’t even worth picking a matching pen. I like the color, but don’t release the ink if you haven’t figured out the scented + feathering thing 🥲

Writing in brown ink on a white piece of paper. The writing reads: Dec 15/24. Sleigh Ride. In the twin, kids are decreasing of sleighs…” Those are lyrics from Taylor Swift’s song called Christmas Tree Farm.
“Sleigh Ride” behind door 15. This one is described as an “extreme sheen.” It goes on the page quite glossy but, not surprisingly, it loses some of that quality when it dries. I like the coppery brown colour. I can see this being part of my regular ink rotation.
#ink #inkvent #diamineinkvent
Well, I typically love sheen, but I don’t love it here. would much rather just have the base color (or with a more subtle bronze sheen).
Day: 15
Ink: Sleigh Ride
