Day 16’s ink is Diamine Ruby Taffeta, a very red ink with chameleon shimmer. The photo here doesn’t capture how blood red this ink is, but believe me, spilling this ink would make people call an ambulance (possibly a unicorn ambulance, because of the shimmer).

I find this ink name peculiar. I understand the ruby part of it, but why is taffeta fabric involved? Because of the sheen and sparkle of the chameleon shimmer?

Diamine Ruby Taffeta is a great ink for a Christmas themed calendar, and the ink is bold and beautiful.

Today’s bear is Oliver by June Kendal of Hardy Bears. He’s one of a kind, and tiny but handsome.

While Diamine Taffeta is a great Inkvent ink, I don’t see myself ever reaching for it for journaling or everyday use. It’s too bright and bling-y, it really calls attention to itself, and that’s a bit too much for needs. Would you buy a full bottle of Ruby Taffeta?
