Diamine - Raise a Glass | Inkvent 2023
Merry Christmas! We have reached the 25th day of the Diamine Inkvent 2023 calendar!
Happy holidays! Or hope you’re having a decent time no matter what you do (or don’t) celebrate, or if you’re reading this some other time in the year.
Raise a Glass is a very rich purple ink. There’s some chameleon shimmer in here - it shifts between a blue and a greenish colour, or at least to me it does. The sheen is a golden yellow, which is actually quite pretty in the writing example. My immediate thought was Deck the Halls from last year’s calendar, though I think Deck the Halls is a bit prettier.
The shimmer up close is fantastic. This is sort of the blue shift, as I took the photo in some cold indirect lighting.
I think the ink really shines best while writing - in the swatch the sheen seemed a little too much - too heavy and not a great combo with the purple. But seeing it in the writing example using the <BB> nib I think it looks fantastic.
Sappy aside - and this applies moreso to my Instagram than anything - I’m very grateful to have participated in the Inkvent calendar this year. My Instagram grew faster during it (though nothing huge like any influencers would lmao), but what I’m most ecstatic about is the friendships I made along the way. It’s felt the most ‘social’ of any social media that I’ve felt in a long, long time. Like a daily book club. So thank you for being here or there, lurking or otherwise. It’s been a fun month <3.
