Hi Garry, I just wanted to thank you for all the effort you went to produce the inkvent videos. The gifts from your "loving wife" have inspired my partner and I to the same for Christmas this year. Thank you for saving our Christmas in 2024!

@GarryEves 7 месяцев назад

Thank you, that's really appreciated. It is such a nice way to celebrate the run-up to Christmas, and adds a bit of fun to the videos.

Beautiful choices for the season Garry. Season's greetings and have a happy new year.

Thanks for all the work you do to share these videos, Garry. I probably like Velvet Emerald the most, but I must own 8-10 inks that are very similar. Best wishes for the new year!

I liked them all, but I do agree with Bah Humbug being one of the top 5 for me. Moonbeam with its magical light shimmer, and Glacier with its thick silvery appearance are also special. For crisp writing I appreciated Early Dusk, Nightfall, Walnut, Tinsel, Fireside snug and Sugar Snap. I love the Weeping willow and Cinnabun for its nice shading and muted impression, nice for painting too. All in all, 2023 inkvent from Diamine was a nice experience.

Very nice selection. I was a bit surprised that there were a lot of paler inks as were shimmer inks. I do like darker inks, myself. I think Moonbeam (?) May have been my favorite this year. Happy New Year, Garry!

@GarryEves 7 месяцев назад

I did think this year was a bit overloaded with shimmer/chameleon inks. My count was 16 out of the 25. I do like the Bah Humbug, and the shimmer hasn't caused any issues with the pen I'm testing it in.

Another great video Garry,I love my handmade pens better than any grail pen & usually a lot cheaper.

@GarryEves 7 месяцев назад

I'm hoping to grow my collection of handmade pens this year. I've seen another maker in Australia that I want to try.

@donnakowalski8185 7 месяцев назад

I’m going to ink up day 2 Cashmere Rose, day 3 Early Dust, day 5 Nightfall, day 8 Jacaranda, day 19 Cinnabon, and day 24 Sugar Snap. Enjoyed your video and the colors and pens you chose.

I liked the astral ink. But I also agree with you. I struggled to find my favorites. This was my first inkvent so not sure I would purchase again.

@GarryEves 7 месяцев назад

👍. This was my third, and although I enjoy them all I did think this year was a bit overloaded with shimmer/chameleon inks.

@JasonReimink 7 месяцев назад

Minor correction, Sweet Dreams from Day 7 was also a scented ink. It stuck in my head because to me it smells like a cold medicine, which seemed dark with the name to me. Edit: As for my favorites, I would go with day 5 Nightfall, day 8 Jacaranda, day 12 Bah Humbug, day 23 Fireside Snug, and the big one, day 25 Raise a Glass.

@GarryEves 7 месяцев назад

Ahhh. I knew I'd forgotten something. I do find it a very sweet smell. I've updated my swatch cards now to indicate that it is scented.

@Chrisamic 7 месяцев назад

@@GarryEvesTo me it has a floral scent. Not a particularly useful ink for me LOL.

@Chrisamic 7 месяцев назад

The cinnabun does have a strong smell, and I found it a very wet ink as well. I used a glass pen for testing and it just about slipped right off the pen very quickly. I didn't understand the sugar snap colour. I was thinking of the biscuit (sugar snap, honey snap, brandy snap etc which seemed like it fit with the Christmas theme). I only just realised it's because... sugar snap peas. Doh!

@GarryEves 7 месяцев назад

I thought the sugar snap was a bit weird as well as I don't associate sugar snap peas with Christmas.

@Calcprof 7 месяцев назад

Another day I ind interesting is Glacier, but I reserve the right to change my mind after I put it in a pen.

@GarryEves 7 месяцев назад

I know what you mean. I think the list would be slightly different if I recorded it today.

@catherinerw1 7 месяцев назад

I think the Glacier is my favourite: have put it in a broad nibbed TWSBI ECO (so it's easy to see when it's cleaned out again). Definitely getting a full bottle of that if they bring one out. Also like Nightfall.

@blktauna 7 месяцев назад

I have 2 Just Turnings Mimas and I LOVE them. Cinnabun wasn't the only scent. There was a pink one, Sweet Dreams? I'm hoping they do bigger bottles of Rainbow's end, Masquerade, Glacier, Merry & Bright, Trannguility and Jacaranda, I prefer vibrant colour and sheen.
