Purple Inks Whisper to Me at 2 AM... (Amethyst Ink Swatching)

Hey there, stationery squad and inky enthusiasts! Welcome back to the channel. Today, we are celebrating all things purple as we dive into February’s birthstone: the beautiful, rich, and regal Amethyst. If you’ve been here for more than five minutes, you know I have a serious "problem" with purple inks—they literally whisper my name at 2:00 AM! In this video, I’m narrowing down my massive collection to 10 stunning dark purples that perfectly capture the spirit of Amethyst. We’ll be swatching everything from Diamine classics to shimmering Wearingeul favorites. We’re also doing a bit of "creative problem solving" in my Hobonichi ink journal today. Since my swatches were seeping through the Tomoe River paper, I’m showing you my workaround using loose-leaf squares and a glue stick. It’s messy, it’s real, and it’s a whole lot of purple fun!

We chat a bit about its metaphysical properties, from being a "stress slayer" to acting like a weighted blanket for your brain. What’s your favorite Amethyst-toned ink?
