I couldn't decide what inks I wanted to use this week, so I just selected some favorites at random. Except for the Colorverse Redwood Forest, that is my color of the month for my A6 Hobonichi. A rather nice color pallet I think!
Pens and inks:
1. Pilot Kakuno
I couldn't resist the recent sale from Ferris Wheel Press where you got a free 85ml bottle of ink with any purchase, so here I am with a #newinkday again! I picked up Spruce County Post and Beaver Dam Brown, both of which I loved in sample form and I am very pleased with my choices. To go along with those, I also inked some Birmingham Pennsylvania Fieldstone. Lovely ink! I am definitely not ready for it to be Monday already, but here we go anyway. #inksampling #fountainpen #penaddict #fpaddict #ink #inkaddict #inkthusiast #fountainpenink #handwriting #stationeryaddict #currentlyinked #ferriswheelpress #platinum3776 #birminghampencompany #twsbieco

The end has come to another #30inks30days challenge! It was a lot of fun to explore the 2023 Inkvent inks for most of the month, and play with a few random picks for the last 5 days. Congratulations to everyone who participated and thanks to everyone who followed along! Look at how pretty all the inks look together in the end! #inksampling #fountainpen #penaddict #fpaddict #ink #inkaddict #inkthusiast #fountainpenink #handwriting #stationeryaddict #currentlyinked @inkjournal #30inks30days #inkchallenge #diamineinkvent #challengecompleted
I can't believe we have reached the end of the month already!! For day 30 of #30inks30days I am using this lovely pink, Majohn Bing Tilian, in my Franklin Christoph 02. I am loving this combo so far! This ink is great in this medium SIG nib!

Now that I have made it through all of the inks in the 2023 Diamine Inkvent calendar, I thought I would share my favorites. In general, I really enjoyed this set of inks. There were a few that I didn't care for, but a lot that I loved. I will say, as someone who uses shimmer inks very rarely, I did wish that a smaller percentage of the set had shimmer in them. That said, my favorites were all shimmers, so... This could easily change, but I think my top 5 were Rainbows End, Astral, Tranquility, Snap Bean, and Masquerade. In the 2nd slide, I ordered my swatch cards from most to least favorite. I really enjoyed trying out all of these inks and I am very grateful to the friend who gifted me this calendar so I could try them out for myself. #inksampling #fountainpen #penaddict #fpaddict #ink #inkaddict #inkthusiast #fountainpenink #handwriting #stationeryaddict #currentlyinked #30inks30days #inkchallenge #diamineinkvent

For day 28 of #30inks30days I am revisiting Kaweco Summer Purple in my @mayfairpens Vanyar. I really like this purple, the color is great and it is a nice wet ink. And this pen is one of my favorites, so pretty and such a good writer!

For day 24 of #30inks30days I am trying out Diamine Inkvent 2023 Sugar Snap. An excellent color for the penultimate day of the Inkvent calendar! As an experiment, I am trying a shimmer ink in this Pilot Prera with a medium nib. Don't know that it'll be a good choice, but I was curious. I am loving the look of this ink though regardless.

I know I don't like to use them regularly, but they are just so pretty! And I am loving this one! I had to pair it with my equally sparkly @onawhim_woodworks Zephyr in Unicorn Blood. So good!

For day 19 of #30inks30days I am trying the final scented ink for the 2023 Inkvent calendar, Diamine Cinnabun. I like the smell of this one more than the pink one, but the performance is still questionable. The color is nice, but it definitely feathers on Sanzen Tomoe River paper and that is not great.

First of all Happy Rex Manning Day to all who celebrate! Second, on day 8 of #30inks30days we come to one of the Inkvent inks I have been most excited about, Diamine Jacaranda! It's so pretty! I just had to put it in my Benu Talisman True Unicorn and take advantage of its lovely broad nib. Makes me anticipate the annual blooming of the local jacaranda trees even more!

For day 7 of #30inks30days we have the first of the scented inks in the 2023 Diamine Inkvent calendar, Sweet Dreams. Is there more than 1 this time? I hope not because these scented inks don't perform very well for me. The color of this one is really nice, but it feathers some on new tomoe river paper and is overly wet in this Pilot extra fine nib. Also, it smells kinda like something really tragic happened to some Mr. Bubble bubble bath? Not a fan of the smell. Nope.

For day 6 of #30inks30days I am trying some Diamine Inkvent 2023 Buck's Fizz in a Twsbi Eco Heat. I have mixed feelings about this ink so far. I love me an orange ink, and a sparkly orange is really fun, but the base color of this one is pretty pale. When the shimmer is really concentrated in the writing though, it is fabulous!

Day 3 of 30 #30inks30days : This vintage fountain pen probably needs some nib tuning as it likes to grab the paper no matter the texture. This is one of my oldest bottles of ink and might be more brown than grey, but I think it still counts. 🖋 Vintage Parker Lucky Curve 14 with 14K Gold Flex Nib 💧 J Herbin - Cacao du Bresil 📃Traveler's Notebook 019 Free Diary (Weekly + Memo) #fountainpen #fountainpenink #vintagefountainpen #flexfountainpen #jherbinink #30inks30days #inksampling #travelersnotebook
For day 3 of #30inks30days I am trying Diamine Inkvent 2023 Early Dusk. This is a really pretty blue, seems well behaved so far.

For day 2 of #30inks30days hosted by @inkjournal I am trying out Diamine Inkvent 2023 Cashmere Rose in a Kaweco Sport. My camera didn't capture this color quite right, but it's a very pretty, dusty rose color with lovely shading.

April 24 - Day 1 of 30 #30inks30days : First time! Challenging myself to use my Traveler's insert that has been sitting neglected for years. Bound pages scare me! 🖋 Pilot Parallel 2.4mm 💧 Kobe 53 Pearl Silver 📃Traveler's Notebook 019 Free Diary (Weekly + Memo) #fountainpen #fountainpenink #pilotparallelpen #kobeink #30inks30days #inksampling #travelersnotebook
I'm very excited for the first #30inks30days of 2024! As has become tradition, I will be spending the month with the previous year's Diamine Inkvent calendar, plus 5 inks of my choice at the end. Yay! For simplicity and my own sanity, I've decided that I will just be recording the inks in my ink journal which I keep in an old Hobonichi Cousin from a couple years ago. Starting off the month we have Diamine Fortunes Gold which I have put in my yellow Twsbi Eco. I don't love yellow inks so I'm not a huge fan of this one, but it is pleasingly sparkly.
