Matt, I was so pleased to see that you did another one of these series of inkvent calendars. I know that at one point you had talked about whether or not it would be worth the time. As always you review is very considerate, gives a different smattering of papers than most, and has much better production quality than most of what else is out there. Thank you for your time and attention and all that you do!
Hey Brad! Thank you... these things are a lot of work, and as always, who knows whether I'll make it all the way through the month... but I'm enjoying it so far 🙂Hope you like them... they should get better after I get into the swing of things in the next week or so.
Beautifully begun! You're approach to the Inkvent series is how I found your channel and, IMO, is the most festive and lovely approach on RUclips. ❤ Thank you for investing the time in such craftsmanship.
Yay! This is my favorite time of year to tune into your channel. Thank you for your Inkvent reveals. I keep looking for a Pelikan Golden Beryl dupe and this ink has possibilities.
I came to your channel with last year's inkvent calendar and have enjoyed your channel since. I have been looking forward to your joyful and wonderful presentation this year. After your presentation I will open mine to see and have fun with the ink of the day.
Hey Bruce! I'm glad that you've enjoyed my Inkvent videos and that you're sticking with my channel :-) Hope you have as much fun with your own Inkvent this year 🙂
I had a little trouble with clogging with all of the shimmer at first, but once it started flowing, it wrote smoothly, and in writing, I do really enjoy the glitter with this ink, too 🙂
@@cheesim I usually avoid them in my pens, too, but I had to do some writing samples while I was out and doing things in the city, so dip pens weren't practical this time. That said, these inks might take a bit of time to clean out, but at least they're not really dangerous... just messy.
Agreed. I don't think it's very visible in my video, but the glitter does have some green in some light (I guess that's the "chameleon" bit), and that really does make it lean charteuse, too.
Thank you for being back doing another year of inkvent, have been longing for your beautiful films! Not my favourite ink though but there are more to come 😅
I have been so excited to get closer and closer to December 1 when--I hoped--you'd begin uploading your fabulous videos. They are now a part of my season's joy. Thank you so much. I was unable to get the calendar last year, but I am swabbing and writing along with you this year. These videos take a great deal of time and expertise, so again, thank you!
Hi Mike! It was a great surprise for me, finding a chameleon ink on day 1! Kinda like this golden one, but I have to admit, it's not my favourite golden ink. But I have to play more with this ink to decide whether or not I love or just am okay with this one. At fist glance, it reminded me of Golden Sands, but nope. Way too warm compared to this one. I looked after similar inks in mine, but I think this one is really unique! At least compared to the inks I own / swatched. Can't wait for your incoming daily videos!
@@LaDonnaPride 🙂Of course I'm just joking... it makes no difference to me who buys what, and I don't think that I'm running any risk of ever getting sponsored by Diamine or anyone else 🙂
I loved this 😊. When you open that first door, it sounded like applause, but then you destoyed this poor little door...😅 Anyway this is a great debut, this bright and shiny color is very festive. Thank you for another year of dailly inkvent calendar 🎉
It's true... I opened the hell out of that little door 🙂 Not on purpose! Actually, the whole front of my calendar arrived with some damage, and it all feels looser than it should. I'm sure that won't be the only brutalization of the doors to come.
I've opened and used Day 1-4 & my opinion of Fortune's Gold really improved as I wrote with it. I was pretty neutral (trending negative) at first blush, but the green-gold glitter is unique and gives the ink a pretty distinct personality. Plus, it's legible, and that counts for a lot with me.
Yay! My favorite series on RUclips returns:) Glad you are doing Inkvent again this year! The ink looks so pretty. I have Golden Sands by Diamine, but I like this one even better.
Hey Matthew! So glad you decided to do Inkvent again. I don't use yellow inks much either but once in a while I'll be in the mood to use one. Hmmm...I think I might like Three Kings more but this one's not bad. Your videos rock. Visually beautiful, great music. So good!💜💜💜
Thanks Roxie :-) I occasionally use yellows (if they're gold enough) when I'm labeling Christmas presents and that sort of thing... that pretty much the only time that I use glittery inks, too :-)
Whenever I hear about the inkvent calendar, part of me asks "oh... get one"? Then I see it has more ink than I have used in the last 15 years combined, so maybe not. But I'm glad it exists!
For me, I end up with a bunch of specialty inks that I would never buy otherwise... and that's handy when I want to sign Christmas cards or label gifts, etc. Granted, one calendar would have been enough for that 🙂 It's a nice preview of some inks that I end up loving, too.
That's exactly how I feel about this ink 🙂 I probably won't buy a large bottle, but for a yellow, this one would be usable. Good to see you back! Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos
Hello, Love your inkvent videos and have resolved to get the 2024 kit next year! Just a quick question. Is the swab you use foam or cotton? It looks like foam. Is it intended for ink swatches? Thank you!

It truly is the best one on all of youtube.
The Holiday Season is not complete without your Inkvent videos!
I feel the same..its become a tradition...and its so cozy
Thank you for a lovely video, and also for going one day at a time. Inkvent time is very fun!
Yay! Your inkvent videos are the best. 🙏
Yay! This is my favorite time of year to tune into your channel. Thank you for your Inkvent reveals. I keep looking for a Pelikan Golden Beryl dupe and this ink has possibilities.
Yay!! Thank you for investing the time to do inkvent this year! Looking forward to the next 24 days / inks / videos.
So good to hear you back with Inkvent! It’s a joy to listen to you.
Your approach with showcasing inkvent is so aesthetically pleasing and definitely gave me the holiday vibes. Looking forward to the upcoming days!
Thanks Tina! Hope you enjoy the videos this year 🙂
Ah, I'm so glad you're doing another inkvent series; I thoroughly enjoyed the previous ones.
Thank you again for deciding to do the Inkvent this year. Always enjoy your videos.
My pleasure :-) Hope you enjoy them again this year!
Ahhhhh I was looking forward to this! How cozy!
I came to your channel with last year's inkvent calendar and have enjoyed your channel since. I have been looking forward to your joyful and wonderful presentation this year. After your presentation I will open mine to see and have fun with the ink of the day.
Hey Bruce! I'm glad that you've enjoyed my Inkvent videos and that you're sticking with my channel :-) Hope you have as much fun with your own Inkvent this year 🙂
The day 1 ink is so festive! Love the gold shimmer, so pretty! Great way to start this holiday season!
I had a little trouble with clogging with all of the shimmer at first, but once it started flowing, it wrote smoothly, and in writing, I do really enjoy the glitter with this ink, too 🙂
I would be too afraid to put shimmer ink in my fountain pen 😂 I probably just use it with my dip pens 🙈

It is my pleasure :-) Hope you enjoy them this year!
Very happy you are doing Inkvent again.
Thanks Marsha, and it's very nice to see you back again 🙂
What I've been waiting for....!!!Not a yellow fan, but this is pretty, the glitter makes it look like a warm chartreuse.
Agreed. I don't think it's very visible in my video, but the glitter does have some green in some light (I guess that's the "chameleon" bit), and that really does make it lean charteuse, too.

Ahh, good... I'll look forward to hearing your impressions of the inks as we go along! Merry Christmas 🙂
Inkvent time let's gooooooo! Can't wait to see your take on these inks. :)
Thank you for these Inkvent reveals. I was afraid that they may consume too much of your time.😅 Your videos were my favorite reveals.
They do consume too much of my time 🙂 but I enjoy it anyway!
I was looking forward to your lovely reviews of the calendar. Thx for all your work !!! Grtz from Belgium.
Thanks Iggie! Merry Christmas :-)
I've been looking forward to this all year!
Nice pale ink. I am still holding off on shimmer inks. Also, I like a darker shade.
Thanks for letting me vicariously experience all the ink!

I did not get the calendar this year! I knew i could enjoy it via your videos!
Thanks :-) Wait... is this going to hurt my chances of getting Diamine to sponsor my Inkvent series next year? 🙂
@@thewetpen watching you will probably make me miss it so much I will HAVE to get it again next year
@@LaDonnaPride 🙂Of course I'm just joking... it makes no difference to me who buys what, and I don't think that I'm running any risk of ever getting sponsored by Diamine or anyone else 🙂

I can't wait to see that 😉
This was a great little video for the inkvent day!
Waiting for this Video. Thank you Matthew✒️🇮🇳
My pleasure! Take care 🙂

Wow! What a great idea! I actually don't have to open mine! I can experience this without the mess and clean up... this is great!!!!
True! Although, the strategy will make it tricky to write with any of the inks that you like... ;-)
Yay-ok-catching up with the first four days now!😊
Glad you found your way over :-) Are you not swatching this year? Or are you just doing it in batches?
What a pleasant surprise my friend! Happy holidays 🎄
Thank you, Red! Hope you enjoy the videos 🙂
YEEEEESSSS HERE WE GOO!!!
🙂 Yes indeed! Good to see you back again!
I appreciate the writing sample as I'm most interested in how it works in a pen
I liked this one pretty well even though I’m not a huge fan of shimmer.
Whenever I hear about the inkvent calendar, part of me asks "oh... get one"? Then I see it has more ink than I have used in the last 15 years combined, so maybe not. But I'm glad it exists!

Yellow is not my choice in inks. But this colour is not very bad.
Good video. Waiting for next one.👍
That's exactly how I feel about this ink 🙂 I probably won't buy a large bottle, but for a yellow, this one would be usable. Good to see you back! Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos
@@thewetpen 👍👍👍
I’m swatching-but not doing any posting 😊
Hello, Love your inkvent videos and have resolved to get the 2024 kit next year! Just a quick question. Is the swab you use foam or cotton? It looks like foam. Is it intended for ink swatches? Thank you!
Thanks! It's a foam swab, intended for cleaning, but they work nicely for ink and are reusable :-)
Amazon?
@TumescentPuma Yes. Just search for "foam swabs" :-)
Thank you! Looking forward to your 2024 content!
what cotton swab are you using for these?
They're actually foam cleaning swabs... I buy them from Amazon, like these (affiliate link! 🙂 ) amzn.to/4eGGpz3
