Inkvent 2023 Recap: Final Thoughts

I had a blast working my way through the 2023 Diamine Inkvent Calendar, and I would say that 20/25 of these inks were quite nice, and another 10-15 were colors I could see myself using throughout the year, not just the holidays. I definitely look forward to playing along next year, though I hope Diamine doesn't double down on the scented inks! They're just not my jam, plus these inks tend to feather and don't behave as well as others in the Diamine family.
Diamine generally makes wonderful inks, and I loved having the opportunity to spend an entire month with the brand and renewing my acquaintance with the line. If you'd like to check out videos of each color as I swatch them, be sure to view the entire Inkvent playlist with 25 videos and a quick clip of the "Inkvent Tree" in the thumbnail.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I like hearing what people think after the fact, when we've been using them for a bit. This year had fantastic variation, I thought. There are definitely some candidates for full bottle purchases. It never winds up being the ones I think though. From 2021 my main favorites are Seize the Night and Storm, which I certainly didn't predict. I mean, Garland is RIGHT THERE. Last year, I love a few of them but haven't run out of the small bottles yet, so there we go. This year? Bah Humbug sings to my Parker Ruby soaked heart but to my astonishment I keep reaching for Walnut. It just looks very nice on the page. Solid.
