For #InkSwatchWednesday this is Diamine Pine Needle from the Inkvent 2024 calendar. A really pretty green- a bit like Diamine classic green but with some green shimmer and lots of shading. Done with a glass dip pen and zebra g nib and brush #InkSwatch #FountanPens #Inkvent2024 #PibeNeedle I did this on the day, but only got around to documenting it now!
Ink Swatch Wednesday: Diamine Inkvent Days 1-4

Well, hello! We're already a few days into Inkvent season, and no posts from me yet? Weird. Well, on the first day, I was really excited to start swatching, but I also wasn't feeling so great, so I didn't go through the whole rigamarole of scanning swatches and posting thoughts

Ink Swatch Wednesday: Troublemaker Tablea

To everyone who's not into brown inks, I'm sorry for this. I keep finding interesting brown inks to add to my collection! 😅 If you want to see a non-brown ink write up, may I interest you in Journalize Dark Matter (no shimmer), Papier Plume Bayou Nightfall, or Robert Oster Grey

Ink Swatch Wednesday: PW Akkerman SBRE Brown

I have yet another ink sample from Vanness that I'd ordered along with the Vinta Inks holiday set (previous posts here, here, and here), my first ink from Akkerman, or PW Akkerman. I saw that the SBRE Brown sample was available (although on the day I'm writing this, it appears

Ink Swatch Wednesday: Journalize Dark Matter (No Shimmer)

When I wrote up the Vinta Inks "A Holiday Feast" set and was looking for comparable inks for Puto Bumbong, I even looked at the base colors for shimmer inks and swatched Journalize Dark Matter without shaking it first. I was immediately struck by this color, because it seemed like

Ink Swatch Wednesday: Papier Plume Bayou Nightfall

My first Papier Plume ink sample: Bayou Nightfall. I learned about this ink when I tried out a pen inked with it at my first Pelikan Hub meetup a month ago. It's a nice, cool greenish gray, which appears more gray in writing than in the swatch. I'm not sure

Ink Swatch Wednesday: Robert Oster Grey Seas

When I bought the Vinta Inks "A Holiday Feast" set (see previous posts 1, 2, and 3) from Vanness, I also picked out a few ink samples because I cannot help myself. 😆 One of those inks is Robert Oster Grey Seas because I'd heard from a few people on Mastodon

Ink Swatch Wednesday: Micahfinds x Robert Oster Black Gulaman and Sago at Black Gulaman

I saw a video from @Inkdependence (Mike Matteson) about Robert Oster Sago at Black Gulaman ink, and almost immediately had to buy it and its non-shimmer counterpart, Black Gulaman, from Endless Pens. I say almost immediately because I did wait a bit before purchasing, because I wanted to be good

Ink Swatch Wednesday: Colorverse San Francisco Bay

My San Francisco pen show budget was taken up by a vintage Pelikan, an architect nib grind, and some Mushroom Cat (and other cat) stationery from Paper Treats. Amazingly, I only bought one ink, the pen show ink by Colorverse called San Francisco Bay. It's a nice teal meant to

Ink Swatch Wednesday: Wearingeul Potato of Spring

Brown inks have such a hold on me. They snuck up on me and have latched on such that if I see any sort of brown-shaded ink, I want to try it. Today I stopped at Mai Do this afternoon as a kind of treat for myself for successfully completing
