Diamine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 25

Myrrh the Merrier – Shimmer and Sheen (30 ml Bottle)

The Key to Survival
is to find Joy
wherever you can find it
to say, "Come in!
The more, the merrier!"
When love of any Kind
knocks on your door.
Cultivate the things
that bring light
and happiness
to help you find your way
again
when the light goes out.

Ink Notes: This is a pretty spectacular ink with it's blue shimmer and bright red sheen over a blue-black base. It's not my absolute favorite of this collection, but it's a good ink, none-the-less.

It was an very interesting calendar this year, with a lot of pigment inks and interesting color combinations for glitter and sheen. My favorites were Smokey Tobacco, Bittersweet, Molten Basalt, Chaos, and Antler. Out of these, I'm definitely getting Smokey Tobacco and Antler in the larger bottles once they come out later in 2026. I do have a thing for browns and greens, that's for sure!

It's always a little bit sad when I finish the Inkvent calendar, because it's always a nice dopamine hit to be able to swatch a new color ink and post for you all. But, soon it'll be Lent, and I'll probably do another round of posting poetry. There's also going to be several book releases in the new year, so watch for that! And, there's also the January Slump Challenge if you feel up to it! Plenty of things for 2026.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and I wish you all the best in the New Year!
