I decided that I wanted to try doing some ink swatches in the journal I just got from Notebook Therapy with 150gsm ivory white paper. The sheening and shimmering inks are showins off their properties very well on this paper. 😁🖋️
I’m off work on the weekends so I am posting earlier today and tomorrow. 😁
Day 7 is my least favorite so far. It’s called Lemon and Lime and it’s a chameleon ink. I had high hopes for this color because it looks very pretty in the bottle. However, doing the ink swatches, it’s giving highlighter yellow.
I feel like this color is most likely suited for painting, drawing and calligraphy with a broad nib. I wouldn’t write with it in a fine fountain pen though.
I did figure out that if you put down a swatch of ink and then write over it with a dip pen, that the green will show up. So that was a cool discovery. I’m new to fountain pen inks and this is my first chameleon ink.
Day 6 is a stand ink – cranberry. it’s a very pretty red. On the onion skin paper, I think I can see hints of green. 🤷🏻♀️
Today’s color is called Icy Lilac. It’s a shimmer ink and looks more grayish than lilac.
Day 4 of the Diamine Inkvent calendar is called Forest Gateau. It’s a pretty dark red color that is scented like cherries 🍒
