Inkvent Day #19: Diamine Festive Joy

At first, Festive Joy looks like a standard purple ink color.

I found my purple TWSBI Eco matches the ink color perfectly. It’s a dark purple ink with something else going on.

This ink has an amazing bronze sheen.

My writing sample appears to be glowing around the edges. I was so enamored by the sheen, I apparently wrote one too many “la” in my sample.

Amazing! Right?

This ink color produces a bold purple ink wash. Look at all this sheen showing up on my mixed media paper. 🤩

This is an amazing dark purple ink with a stunning bronze sheen. It’s hard to believe Diamine calls this a standard ink when the sheen shows up everywhere including my ink wash. Festive Joy is on my wish list.

Ink: Diamine Festive Joy (standard)

Pens: TWSBI ECO Purple with Stub 1.1 nib. Automatic pen.
