Diamine Inkvent 2023 Day 8

This is the Diamine Inkvent 2023 day 8 door:

Day 8’s ink is Diamine Jacaranda. It’s a standard ink.

Today’s ink is a standard ink in a lovely bluish-violet, very aptly named Diamine Jacaranda.

Jacaranda shades beautiful and I love the subtlety of its colour – this is an ink that can be used both for journaling and for work, and you could definitely use it for greeting cards. Like all purple inks it’s very difficult to photograph so the photo of the best sketch made it look much bluer than it is. The other photos are more true to life.

This bear is called Sammy and he has an unusual head shape and a cardigan, so he’s an outlier in my collection. He’s got a polar bear thing going on, instead of the more traditional brown bear influences.

Here’s Sammy with his perfect cardigan and his perfect toes:

Diamine Jacaranda is one of the inks that I’m more likely to buy a full bottle of once this Inkvent is over. I like the colour, the shading and the name, plus it’s a standard ink so it’s more generally useful to me. Do you see yourself using Diamine Jacaranda in the future?

    I came across your blog because I was too stupid to realise the description of the type of ink was on the side of the bottle. 🙄 Now your posts are the highlight of my day, I love to see your teddies, and especially your beautiful drawings. I just wish I could draw like that.

    This teddy is adorable!! The sweater!! I am following 2 other people who are posting the Inkvent each day. This one must be especially difficult to photograph because all 3 (yours and the other 2) look hugely different. Your swatch is the only one that comes close to what I think of as the jacaranda blossom color — a very cool lavender.
