Diamine Invent 2024 – Day 1

I’m a little behind on posting these to my blog. But I bought a Diamine Inkvent advent calendar for 2024. So I wanted to start posting each days ink on my Instagram page.

Day one was Baltic Breeze, which is a bluish color with some glitter. In the bottle it looks coppery but on my onion skin notebook I’m using, it looks more rose gold colored.

Grimm Brothers A Novel Journal

After having my brothers Grimm journal for over 3 years that I found at Ollies for $2.99 and not knowing what I wanted to do with it, I decided that I wanted to practice my penmanship using my new fountain pens and inks. To practice, I’m writing out the opening quotes that were used in the Grimm TV show 😁

Here’s my 1st page. I made a couple mistakes and it’s not the greatest but that’s what practice is for.

The pen is a caligraphy pen from Speedball calligraphy and the ink is Country Roads, WV from Colorverse

“Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat” – F.Scott Fitzgerald

This quote came up in my memories today so I decided to practice my handwriting with my broad calligraphy pen and Ralph Waldo Emerson ink. ✒️✍️🖋️
