@penfount Here’s one of my favorites from the 2024 Inkvent calendar. This one definitely a candidate for a full bottle.

Day 8 is Marley, a purple gray with some amazing chromatography with a rose hue and a vivid teal making an appearance.

Swatches are made on Canson, cold press 140lb watercolor paper with a brass Kakimori nib. I’m using a self-inking stamp from Midori that has an oil based ink. My wife spotted this stamp at a Kinokuniya Portland visit.

A narrow strip of watercolor paper  with an ink swatch is on a small easel that is sitting atop a red book with an advent calendar filled with ink  made by Diamine is in the background. The calendar is black with gold and silver trees and numbers with fancy lettering in white.A close up of a section where the ink was drawn out with a lot of water to reveal pink and teal chromatography. There’s also lines drawn with different thickness and splashes of ink.The top of the swatch has a stamped pattern for recording the name of the ink and other details. There’s a small ink bottle shape with the label section colored in with the ink. There are also 4 types of nibs to indicate the best nib to use. The options shown are felt tip, brush tip, dip pen (a glass style one is illustrated), and a fountain pen nib. 

I have written the following details:
Marley
Inkvent 2024 - Day 8
Diamine
Standard (ink type)
Any pen/nibThe bottom of the swatch has a square patch of ink. Water has been added and you can see vivid teal and rose tones in the purple gray ink. The very bottom of the square is distressed a little.

A quote is written in above the square. It reads:

ā€œOld Marley was as dead as a door-nail.ā€, Dickens
