This is another Inkvent ink, though I’m not sure what “apple glory” has to do with the holidays. I’m not even sure what “apple glory” is. It this ink looks like an awesome Granny Smith. So it’s good by me 🙂

I’m not sure I get a metallic copper sense, it this color is terrific no matter what it’s called, and it’s close enough to copper that I’ve no complaints. Write on!

It’s not yellow (though there are yellow inks I actually like, though most are entirely illegible when used for writing). It’s amber, and it’s legible. Plus, when you add a little black ink pen to draw a bug, it really takes on the character of amber. Job well done, Diamine!

It’s amethyst. Is it amazing? It’s pretty good. Saturated, bold, and well-behaved, and if it’s what you’re looking for, it’s probably amazing!

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).…
