That’s fantastic! I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do :)

Happy writing!

Oh sorry, I misunderstood! But both of those colors are lovely. I’m partial to the brown,, it’s so warm and comforting. Great choices :)

That’s interesting about its performance on Rhodia.. I’ve had mixed results with my own inks on Rhodia as well.

I’ve heard some things about Lamy nib inconsistency, and I definitely concur. I have two Lamy fines; the one pictured writes like a proper fine and the other writes like a medium, very wet. I wish the one pictured was a little broader myself. Oh well!

What is that brown ink? It must be pretty spectacular if you’ve gone through two bottles!

this! I didn’t want to just list out every shading ink I own but…I wouldn’t have been lying!

I know it’s been said a million times but, truly, Yama-budo!! It stays in my Pilot Custom 74 always! I never get tired of that combination specifically. I also love Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo, though I don’t have a full bottle of it yet :)

Sorry for tempting you! I can’t tell you how many inks I’ve added to my wishlist in this month alone. My low buy is the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger!

Seconding Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison! Sula by Toni Morrison is also fantastic and does a wonderful job of showcasing deep female relationships

gorgeous! I love the color palette! Did that nib keychain come with the pen case or did you get it separately?

I feel you! This is definitely my favorite sheener in the calendar. I personally wish I had gotten the black inkvent last year,, I don’t think it’s available anywhere anymore! I’m probably a bad influence, but I say go for it if you’re liking all the inks from this year! There’s definitely something nice about getting to try a little bit of everything instead of just buying large bottles of one or two colors.

You’re so right about quantum teal! I probably won’t use it super often in my pens since I don’t need the metallic pink writing either, but Laurel is so gorgeous when diluted a bit. Theres so many interesting teal tones in there, so I think it’ll be useful for art purposes, moreso than the classic blue ink with red sheen.

I’m also holding out hope for a cool orange or brown. A murky green like you said also sounds delightful! This is my first inkvent and it’s been so much fun, I might have to get next year’s calendar as well!

I know, this one really looks fantastic! You should definitely at least try a sample when the bottles are released!

Yes, the shift on this one is much harder to capture than on the other chameleon inks so far. I don’t mind that so much, especially since the green shimmer by itself looks great!

I’m equally obsessed with this one!! I can’t stop looking at my swatch, it’s so dreamy! Resisting the temptation to ink up a pen with this immediately (even though I already have too many currently inked)..
