Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! It’s day 24 of Diamine Inkvent.

Day 24’s ink is Diamine One More Sleep, a standard grey blue ink.

Diamine One More Sleep is a lovely grey blue with a lot a shading and a hint of lavender in the background.

I love this shade of ink as it works well for sketching and for writing. It’s also a calm and relaxing colour, very appropriately named.

Today’s writing sample is a little melancholy, as I reflect on the wave of well established pen shops that are closing down by the end of the year. This ink colour seems to encourage reflection, something I find myself doing more often since I received my cancer diagnosis a year and a half ago. If you don’t have an ink in this bluish grey light purple shade I recommend getting one, whether it’s Diamine One More Sleep or something similar by a Japanese or Korean maker.
