Swatch Wednesday: Diamine Sepia
Last of the set of three inks I bought to celebrate a writing accomplishment! This one is Diamine Sepia, and it looks more or less as I’d expect given the name. This one has a bit of shading in my swatch, which initially made me worry that it might be close to Ginger Chicken…

Swatch Wednesday: Diamine Red Dragon
This is the second ink out of a set of three I bought to celebrate finishing a longer piece of fiction writing, This is the colour of the three that I really wanted. I love red inks, probably a bit of a holdover when I did more editing and marking by hand. When I was…

Swatch Wednesday: Colorverse Black Hole
This was a gift from a friend who said it was more for the fun little bottle than anything exciting about the ink. It’s a pretty cute little bottle and I didn’t have one since I think the only colorverse ink I have is a sample. Love that little picture on the front. The bottle…

2025 Diamine Inkvent Teal – Day 21-25
At the time that I’m preparing this post (a week in advance), we’re still waiting on moving company nonsense, my internet keeps cutting out while I’m trying to do stuff, the furnace still doesn’t work, and the work training I took today got glitched somehow so I can’t finish it and I’m stuck re-listening to…

2025 Diamine Inkvent Teal – Day 17-20
Still settling in to the new house. We’ve prepped a couple of rooms for painting but then the furnace decided it would just sometimes not turn on in the middle of a cold snap, and cold rooms are hard to paint. New thermostat is supposedly coming today and we really hope that’s the problem. It…

2025 Diamine Inkvent Teal – Day 13-16
Another belated Inkvent post for swatch Wednesday! I didn’t bother doing inkvent posts in December because of the move, and in theory now that some of our stuff has arrived I could probably be unpacking instead of blogging about ink. But our stuff got separated into two shipments and a lot of the furniture is…

2025 Diamine Inkvent Teal – Day 9-12
Resuming the inkvent posts as swatch Wednesday posts. I took pictures of day 9-12 before I got totally swamped with moving stuff, but I’ll have to take the rest of the pictures in the new house. (I do have all my swatches, though!) Day 9: Bittersweet. Very bright green, no shimmer or sheen. I thought…
