Saturated, beautiful cranberry. can’t say anything negative about this ink. Solid. And you can get 30ml for about three bucks.
Another ink from the Cult Pens collaboration, and another ink I don’t need to put in my regular stable (want some?). Again, if people like soft-looking shades, this is perfect! It writes well; it’s just not my cup of High Tea.
This one’s a winner! Every year, Diamine comes out with an “Inkvent” Advent calendar. 24 5ml bottles of ink and one 30ml bottle at the end. Later, Diamine makes most Inkvent inks available in full size bottles. They have made 4(?) versions. Today’s is a beautiful silver pile of glitter with the slightest greenish hue.
I don’t like sangria, and I don’t care for this ink. We’ve started with two duds from Diamine (for me… I’m sure some people love both of these inks), but don’t worry, there’s plenty of Diamine awesomeness to come (there better be, we have half a year of it to go).
Well, that’s it! Those are the only bottles of ink I own. Except for bottles of ink I own produced by Diamine. If you’re looking for Diamine ink, you can get them at crazy economical prices from Cult Pens out of England (though I have heard rumors there have been shipping issues in the US).
Harmonious Green it is, indeed! This pale greenish with a hint of blue is quite striking, nice-writing, and makes one feel in harmony with the world.
Is this an audacious rouge? I think it just might be, although as with the Blue Mystère,I wish it were more saturated and bold if you’re gonna tell me I’m supposed to think “audacious”.
A name that perfectly describes an ink is always gonna be a hit with me. And it’s an ink that looks terrific.
Going a little darker than yesterday, maybe even a little more mysterious. This is a nice enough ink, but I’d love it if it were just a little less drab looking.
A beautiful cornflower blue as we move to a series of Waterman inks. Waterman is a third generation, family-owned company out of Little Rock since 1923. They make pens, so you know what that means: well-behaved inks! Five of them are coming your way.
Including a Calendar of Days, cocktails to celebrate throughout the year, and a avian journey of taxonomic discovery!
