Diamine inkvent – day 8

Day 8 ink is a standard ink called Marley

I thought this was going to be a teal gray color because of the label on the bottle. However when I did the ink samples it was giving more of a purple gray color. I really like it and can see myself using it 😁

Diamine Inkvent – day 7

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.
