  1. In this video, I take a brief first look at the Tony Binns Wood fountain pen, checking out its design, materials, and overall feel straight out of the box.

    I then fill the pen with Diamine Sleigh Ride ink and do a short writing sample so you can see how it performs in those first few minutes of use.

  2. Diamine Inkvent 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 maybe this one would be a bit hard to read but it seems fine. It’s not quite as day-glow as it looks in that photo but it is pretty bright in the sun. I love greens and a lot of my other light greens are a bit muddy in comparison so it’s fairly unique in my collection. Will get used for sure.

    Nostalgia ink swatch photographed at an angle for the shimmer.

    Day 10: Nostalgia. Brownish burgundy/purple with pink shimmer. Very pretty, and I rather liked playing with it on the paint brush where it’s a bit lighter than in the handwriting. Not a colour I might have chosen for myself but I’m looking forwards to using it because I think it’s going to fill a nice neutral-adjacent niche in my monthly palettes.

    Brr! ink swatch showing the feathering in the paintbrush swatch and some of the shimmer.

    Day 11: Brrr! Light blue with blue shimmer. I love this colour a lot but it stained the heck out of my paintbrush. Which isn’t a huge deal (I mean, it’s a paint brush, it was bound to happen eventually) but I’d probably have used an older brush if I’d realized it would be that bad. Maybe I’ll try some pen cleaner or the ultrasonic cleaner on the paintbrush just to see what happens but I don’t have high hopes. It’s a pigment ink so it shouldn’t be a surprise but I didn’t have as much trouble with Carousel and staining. I’m going to be careful to put this into my pens that are easier to clean and none of the ones with clear feeds. I do rather like how the swatch feathered a bit so it looks like frost, though!

    Bubbly ink swatch at an angle to show the iridescent shimmer better.

    Day 12: Bubbly. A very champagne gold with iridescent shimmer. This doesn’t look too bad in the swatch but the shading makes it go to the edge of hard to read in my journal writing. I’ll be curious to see if it behaves better or worse in a pen. This is another one I wouldn’t likely have chosen for myself, but the iridescent shimmer really makes it pop and live up to the name, plus it’s not like anything else in my collection.

    I liked all of these inks a lot, though I’m going to have to be careful using Brrr! now that I know it stains.

  3. Wahhhhh the paper in the 2026 #Hobonichi Cousin is so much better compared to the 2025 edition!!

    I'm so sad that Diamine #inkvent Day 25 doesn't photograph easily because it looks absolutely insane on this paper!

    Blue base colour, red sheen and some blue glitters. IN LOVE.

  4. Just inked my fountain pen with “Let it Snow” from this year’s Inkvent calendar 🌸 The nib is medium but is dealing well with the chameleon powder.

  5. Finally got around to printing a holder for the inkvent bottles, so now I'm all set for Inkvent 2026!

  6. This ink is almost impossible to photograph. Blue, red and glitter all at once. Truly crazy.

    The dad joke name can go.

  7. CW: Diamine Inkvent day 25 (and 22-24)

    Diamine Inkvent day 25. Myrrh the Merrier. A dark blue with substantial red sheen and blue shimmer. The swatch is amazing and in writing the sheen was at a healthy (not overwhelming) level. I can’t see the shimmer in writing, but that might just be the light here. I journaled with it and ran into it tending to dry on the nib and hard start a little, but not like a super sheener.

    This completes the hotel swatching challenge.

  8. CW: Spoilers for Diamine Inkvent Calendar Ink No.25

    Most felicitous greetings of the season to you all and thank you for travelling along with me in this inky journey this month.

    The last ink of the calendar is called "Myrhh the Merrier" ha ha I see what Diamine did there.

    It's a pretty luscious dark teal with a sheen that I can't quite see in this light, but we'll see if we can take a better look later. And it has shimmer as well, in pretty blue. So it's both a dessert topping and a floor wax and very pretty it is too.

    I thought I'd take a bit more time for our finale, and seeing as I'm staying at a seaside hotel for Christmas visiting my sister, the sea was on my mind. With the colour nice and nautical I wanted to create a sea monster that wouldn't look out of place on a mediaeval map of the seas... Here be Dragons and all that. And I started thinking about placoderms and sclerotic rings and gulper eels.

    And this chappy appeared after 2-3 hours.

    Now I'm not seeing any sheen there, but I don't have any sunlight to hand right now.

    But the sparkle shows up pretty well.

    The big finale of the calendar, a nice deep blue with teal hints, glitter, and sheen. Mayhaps not my favorite but I can't deny it's a pretty one!

  23. Just inked my foutain pen with the Inkvent calendar ink for December 25 🌸 It is called Myrrh the Merrier and is a dark blue ink with shimmer and a reddish. It is not unique by any stretch of the imagination but it is very beautiful.

    The pen is TWSBI Diamond 580 with a broad nib and it is coping well with the shimmer and sheen in the ink.

  24. CW: Inkvent day 25

    Myrrh the Merrier (what a fun name) is the 25th and the last ink of this year's inkvent calendar. Shimmer and sheen were mixed into a dark, rather blueblack than teal ink.

    It makes it usable for everyday writing but I believe that the first ink Celestial Skies would have been a better fit as signature ink for the Teal Edition.

  30. CW: Diamine Inkvent day 24

    Diamine Inkvent day 24 - Antler. A kind of a cool brown with some shading. Pigmented, so presumably water resistant? #FountainPen #Inkvent

  31. CW: Inkvent day 24

    The pigment ink Antler is a cool brown that shades a bit and writes very smooth.

    #inkvent #fountainpen #ink

  32. CW: Inkvent day 23

    "Let it Snow" is a pale turquoise ink with chameleon shimmer. It reminds me of Diamine Subzero.

    #inkvent #fountainpen #ink

  33. CW: Inkvent day 22

    Pineapple Spritz is the obligatory yellow/gold ink with added shimmer. A bit too pale as writing ink but nice for greeting cards and art, I think.

    #Inkvent #fountainpen #ink

  34. CW: Inkvent day 21

    Chaos is the 21th from the Inkvent calendar. The base color is a dark brownish purple with green sheen. Very nice.

    #inkvent #fountainpen #ink

  35. CW: Inkvent day 20

    The 20th #inkvent ink is Ambience, a salmon colored ink between pink and orange with shimmer. It reminds me of Diamine Coral. It's a cheerful looking ink. Maybe not so useful for long texts but certainly for art and notes.
