DAY 19 OF THE 2021 DIAMINE INKVENT CALENDAR: FESTIVE JOY
Due to my crazy work schedule, and then the Christmas holiday, I am posting the last of my Inkvent musings a bit late. Thank you all for your patience, and I hope you enjoy my musings.
Festive Joy is one of Diamine's Standard inks, which means it does not have sheen or shimmer. It is a warm, rich purple with some gold/bronze sheen to it.

The ink is quite nice to write with, and is very well behaved. I filled my Lamy Safari Dark Lilac with the ink, and enjoyed writing it with through the week. The ink dries relatively quickly in about 20-25 seconds. It does not feather or bleed through on the papers that I used it on, and there is very little show through, even on Tomoe River paper. It does, however, have that unique odor that Thunderbolt and Seize the Night also have, but it does not seem quite as strong. It didn't give me a migraine like the others.
Here it is on Rhodia Dot Pad paper, which is 80 gsm:

And here it is on Tomoe River 52gsm paper (Nanami Seven Seas Notebook):

This is another ink that I have enjoyed. It is, however, close to several other purple inks that I have, so I am not likely to purchase a bottle when (and if) the Red Edition inks come out.
Thank you again for stopping by.
