We're off our schedule again, thanks to some unexpected body issues (embodiment is a scam! Sleeping shouldn't be a contact sport. Chronic illness is so random!). But I'm back for Day 11 of Inkventpocalypse and this is a very light, cold, group of inks
Hello, just a short note to wish everyone a Happy New Year & that we'll be back to Inkventpocalpyse 2025 in the new year. I had a bit of a setback with the corporeal form forcing a break, no matter what the brain wanted. I'm finally
We're in that liminal space between the major holidays & the transition to 2026. We're still taking things slowly, a cup of tea, some watercolour, some research, swatches, photos. Today's Inkvents are fairly heavy to return to from a couple days off. A deep
We're almost a third of the way through this project! Just a scheduling note: I'll not be posting on the 25 December, but will still swatch on 24 December & will post on 26 December. I just want a day to stare at nothing & enjoy

I'm really bad at keeping things consistent, I just noticed that day 5's title is missing the 2025 identifier and I'm not sure if I always remember to add the tags. Still still learning! Anyway, we're still doing okay with the every-other
We are on a sort of extended schedule, things are looking good. And very purple. Lots of purple for today's advents! First up is the Inkvents, no crazy finishes or scents or properties today, but some unusual (and research intensive) subjects. Day 5 for inkventpocalypse is not overly
How long has this been going on? I feel like I'm always doing these. It's never going to end... Just kidding. This is Day 4 of all the advent calendars. Yes, it's now more than a week behind, but I'm not looking
Only running a week behind, which seems to line up with where my head is. November seemed to end very late this year. Anyway, here's Day 3! (Note before we get into this, I'm making my first attempt to send this as an email, too, so
Day 2! I'm only a week behind, heh. I'll try to start getting these done in a more timely manner, but we may just be doing this shifted by a week. It's fun! Prolong the suspense! Lets get to the Inkvents & Advents! Oh,
Here's a list (with direct links & notes when available) of the supplies I use when doing my Inkvent swatching & for the advents themselves.
