December Pen/Ink Palette: Diamine Inkvent 2021

A pen and notebook portfolio. There are 10 pens, most made out of resin, some wood, and some metal types. The notebook is purple and has 4 stickers on it. One is a snowflake with a d20 in the center, then a nib with dancing etching, then a white fountain pen, and last a white silhouette of a deer with purple and pink background.
My lovely pen palette and December notebook!

For December I decided to only use inks from last year’s Diamine Inkvent. The pens are just shiny and I like them. I also kept the Magic Green pen and the Forever Purple pen. I want to try to keep the green pen filled for a full year, so need to keep it going until March 2023. And I don’t think I could exist without a really solid purple ink, so had to keep that one! The rest of the palette inks are a mix of Inkvent ones I have used before and some I’ve always wanted to try but I couldn’t fit them into other palette’s this year.

8 ink sample cards, each with a pen below where the name of the ink is written. The left column starts with a shimmer blue, then another brighter blue, then a blue purple, and a less saturated purple. The right column starts with a yellow, a sort of pinkish orange, a solid orange and what looks like a magenta but is more of a raspberry color.

And just to list all of those out, if you’re curious! I couldn’t find links for any of the inks, my apologies, but if you google the names you can read a lot of different reviews. Or wait for mine in January!
And the links for the pens are mostly going to be to the creator themselves or the model of pen from that creator. Most of these pens use resin blanks from various other creators, and aren’t available all of the time, but I wanted you all to be able to find the creators at least!

I am very excited to try these pens – picked up a couple of new brands. And I really like the ink palette, it feels nice, the colors are pretty. Wish me luck that they all work well!

Title is in silver ink, text is Dec Palette Dip Pen. The phrase “the quick brown fox is jumped over the lazy dog” is written out 8 times, each line is the color of an ink from the palette.
