Fountain Pens Diamine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 11 #diamineinkventcalendar #inkvent2024 #diamineinkvent2024 Grotto -- Extreme Sheen Intereting. Seeing the sheen on this makes me think that Cranberry (from Day 6) should have also been labeled at Extreme Sheen. I do like this -- reminds me of fire, or sunset. I do like orange-red inks and this is a nice
Fountain Pens Diamine Inkvent Calendar-- Day 10 #diamineinkventcalendar #inkvent2024 #diamineinkvent2024 Chilly Nights -- Star Bright OK, this is a lovely ink! It does look like a winter's night. I think it has both a chunky silver glitter (star bright) but I think there's also a finer blue glitter, too. I don't
Fountain Pens Diamine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 9 #diamineinkventcalendar #inkvent2024 #diamineinkvent2024 Wishing Tree -- Chameleon Hmmm... I'm not sure about this color. It's interesting from a shading point of view, but what color is it? Is it green? Grey? Pink? The glitter isn't very over, but not horrible. Kind of men, really.
diamineinkvent2024 Diamine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 8 #diamineinkventcalendar #inkvent2024 #diamineinkvent2024 Marley -- Standard Huh-- and here I thought Icy Lilac was a lot like Sailor Ha Ha, but darker. This is even more so. I mean, it does give ghostly vibes (ha!) and as it dries down, I really like the multi-color effect. I'll be
diamineinkvent2024 Diamine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 7 #diamineinkventcalendar #inkvent2024 #diamineinkvent2024 Lemon and Lime -- Chameleon I usually love me a good green ink, but this is giving me highlighter vibes. It's an interesting color, but definitely not something I'd use for writing. The yellow and green shading is interesting and the glitter is
diamineinkvent2024 Diamine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 6 #diamineinkventcalendar #inkvent2024 #diamineinkvent2024 Cranberry -- Standard OOOH! Like it's name, this is a fantastic cranberry red! The gold sheen is really interesting, too, and dominates the heavy swatch I did. It makes me wish I had my glass pen, and I may clean out my Homo Sapiens pen
diamineinkvent2024 Diamine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 5 #diamineinkventcalendar #inkvent2024 #diamineinkvent2024 I wasn't sure about this ink when it was still wet, but now that it's dried down, I like it. The glitter is soft, so it probably won't show well on camera. It's very fine, so I think it&
diamineinkvent2024 Diamine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 4 #diamineinkventcalendar #inkvent2024 #diamineinkvent2024 Forest Gateau -- Scented This color gives you a clue to the scent of this ink. Figured it out? Cherries! It's not very strong and doesn't really stay on paper, but that's ok. The color is really nice. A bit more
Fountain Pens Diamine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 3 #diamineinkventcalendar #inkvent2024 #diamineinkvent2024 Noble Fir -- Star Bright (glitter) Wow! Look how shiny! "Star Bright" is a new category this year, and it looks like it's a chunky glitter [and maybe holo glitter?]. I don't know if the camera will really show the glitter,
inkvent2024 Diamine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 2 #diamineinkventcalendar #inkvent2024 #diamineinkvent2024 Wilted Rose -- Standard I really like this color. I generally gravitate towards browns, and when it was wet, it was little more brown than rose. It dries down to a quite lovely rose, and, being a standard ink, I think I'd like using this
diamineink Daimine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 1 A nice blue with a nice copper/rose gold sheen. [It's actually a glitter.] Blues aren't really my thing most of the time, but for the Inkvent calendar, this is a nice start.
amwriting Autumn/Winter Update: I know it’s been a while, but a lot of things have happened in the last few months that made it take a while before getting this update out. The biggest news is that I am currently in Northern Ireland for at least the next 6 months. Around the
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 31 #nibtober2024 My travels feel like an atlas now that I've been out of the US. And speaking of that, when most of you see this I'll probably be on a plane, or going to the airport. Blessed Samhain and Happy Halloween! Next stop: Northern Ireland! -Fin-
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 30 #nibtober2024 Travel is scary for me. I've learned a lot of skills to cope with my fears, but I also worry about everything. Will I make it on time? Will my bags get there? The good thing, though, is that at the end of this trip I'
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 29 #nibtober2024 There are some days I feel like I've failed at, well, everything. I know it's not rational, but that's how my brain works. Some of it's what I call "old tapes" from past experiences. Some days it's

food Nibtober Day 27 #nibtober2024 Went out for Mexican food the other day and I had chicken Mole with rice and beans. I really love Mexican food and I've learned how to make a bunch of different Mexican dishes. Mostly because it's hard to get good Mexican food in Europe

human rights Nibtober Day 25 #nibtober2024 The dominant thought at the moment is that transgender rights, women's rights, and queer rights are all seperate issues. In reality, they're not. These issues are all about BODILY AUTONOMY! These are all about how you can and cannot use your own body. It'
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 24 #nibtober2024 The morning air is feeling a little crispy these days, which in Florida is a huge relief. Soon, though, I'll be in Ireland (Northern Ireland, that is) where there is actual Autumn and cold air. And soon, Christmas Markets! Pen: Yiren 890 Ink: Diamine Oxblood

nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 21 #nibtober2024 Some days you like to feel a little fancy when you write, so that's when I pull out my @benupen. They are definitely one of my favorite pens. I miss having all my pens, since most of my pens are in Ireland, and all my inks. But
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 20 #nibtober2024 There are a lot of interesting birds in Florida. I keep thinking that one of the birds I see out the window is a crane of some sort, but I know that's wrong. What's funny about this bird is that it's legs are
