✨Welcome to my Kitchen! 🎨🧵🧶📚📓📝✒🖋
I love making random crafts right on my Kitchen Counter. I'm a night owl, so many of my videos are done at night when everyone is asleep and I get to focus on art without interruptions (or dinner prep)!
📃 I ❤ paper - mostly journals or little things that I can give to my friends.
✒ I ❤ fountain pens
📖 I ❤ art & the Bible
☕ I ❤ tea
I think that watching women create is an amazing way to spark your own creativity and TAKE A RISK!
🦋I hope you will enjoy watching me sketch and doodle in my art journaling, to watch some Bible Reviews (for Bible Journaling), share my love for fountain pens , antique books, and then create with paper or other materials -- just because we can!
Hope you will join me in my kitchen with a spot of tea ☕, a fountain pen and a sheet of pretty paper! Welcome!

Every single time I try to do this on my own I can never get the fold right, and I always come back to this video and it works 🤦🏻♀️😂 thank you for posting this, or I might never be able to get my puzzle purses to work!
Thanks for the tip on not using lubricating inks in vintage pens. Your paper towel in a jar method is how I dry pen parts overnight before assembling them for storage after cleaning.
@@MarcellHobbs it’s a great way to not lose pen parts! I find that a lot of remaining ink will just come out and then you can be sure that the pen is dry before you put it away (or use it again)!
Nice video
@@richardsimms251 thanks so much for watching! Do you have any Noodler’s? If so, which one is your favorite? I have a video on black inks too!
Tysm for this video! I just purchased and all night trying to get the ink to go😂
Did it finally work? Have you had a chance to try it out yet?
@@KitchenCounterCrafts yes ! I didn’t realize i needed the click sound 🤦🏻♀️🤣 i love it alot actually especially for the price! 🥰
@@xocmwxo wonderful!! If it doesn’t write, just run the nib under the faucet and wipe, it’ll be fine!
Hi there 👋, Great video as usual. Love the artwork. Looks like "Portuguese Man Of War". A dangerous jellyfish. And the blue ocean 🌊, it just works. Congratulations on your New Pen Day. It's mine too today 10th July. I bought an Esterbrook Raven with a button piston filler. Great pen, a joy to write. Can't stop writing. I wish I can use the pen writing this comment!!😂 The only Estie Raven in the country!! For now. The ink i used Diamine's music set.. Wagner. Kinda like olive green and yellow similar to Iroshizuku Ina-Ho. No sheen but great shading which i like. The Raven was able to display the shades eventhough it is a F nib. Pretty amazing. Great pen. Every pen collector should pick one up. The color blue is amazing but not available here. So my choice is J Herbin Eclat de Saphir. If you got the chance kindly review Penlux from Taiwan comparable in price with Opus 88 Koloro Demo.Their resin is like the Italians. They even made a special limited edition of 10 using Omas celluloid!! Their standard model Delgado Masterpiece. I love your pen review coz there's a lot of writing sample compared to others - 20 minutes video with couple of lines of writing for 2 minutes top. But it's 20 minutes video!! Anyway great video as always. Take care. (I got a Monteverde Canyon Rust reserve for fall writing season. For Halloween will be all black for the Raven!)
Great video! I got into fountain pens in 2016 and have settled on Aurora as my favorite brand, and the 88 as my favorite pen ❤ I have 10 or so, mostly limited editions - the size, shape, and weight are all perfect for me. Very similar to the MontBlanc 146 in size and shape. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@osuata13 TEN!!! How wonderful!!! These are the times when I wish I could see them in person! Wait.. I just noticed Pistol Pete! Are you an Okie???
One of my favourites is AURORA BLACK, among others
@@richardsimms251 I love the Aurora! Have you tried waterman’s or the Noodler’s???
Very relevant subject. Thank you RS. Canada
@@richardsimms251 thank you for watching! So… what do you think? Which one stands out to you?
That's a really pretty ink. BTW, I bought a Pineider Avatar UR Matte Black Cherry after our last meet up and I LOVE it! Thanks, penabler! ;) And yes, I usually try to match my pen and ink colors.
@@cherylgebhart2546 ohhh that black cherry is so different!!! It’s the texture of the matte finish that makes me want to just hold it! It’s a major distraction for my meetings, as I find myself touching the pen, that magnetic cap… but I love it so! What do you think of it???
My Pineider Avatar is one pen that remains in my regular rotation and is a really good writer. Great pen and ink combination!
@@stephenearnest4017 I love it too!! Thank you for watching and encouraging me
Excellent treatment of this comparison. For me, acquiring a 823 would be an exercise in indulgence as I have two Custom 74's, one in EF and one a stub M via Pendleton Brown, both of which have no faults, only excellence.
@@kayak63red34 Thank you for your encouragement and for watching! I love both of them… but I find myself reaching for my Custom 74 more often! The 823 is more of an indulgent purchase but … it’s kinda worth it if you’re a Pilot fan😍
Not a fan of Pineider pens, for a number of different reasons. So, I never bought one. Blue inks may be commonplace and numerous, and hence hard to always stand out as especially lovely and desirable. But I have a few special favorite blues. Your Leonardo blue is very pretty, no kidding. Certainly more aqua-turquoise than a true blue. I never bought ink samples. But this one is well worth trying before buying a bottle. Visconti Blue is one of my own enduring favorites. Readily recommended! Good to hear you again, Mona. Happy to drop by and comment, as always.
@@sajjadhusain4146 Thank you, friend! I hope you might check out the Pineider. My husband loves his Twin Tank! The avatar is amazing because I can throw it in my bag & no scratches on the finish! That and the magnetic clip… so yummy!
@@KitchenCounterCrafts The Twin Tank is an attractive and fun filling feature for sure. A clear and obvious nod to Sheaffer’s classic Touchdown system. It appeals to me, too. I’m not that impressed by magnetic caps and such. Visconti does them, too. I also wonder if they hold up well in the long term. Only time will tell.
@@sajjadhusain4146 I’ve had my Avatar for a year and a half now and it’s been great. It’s been in my regular rotation until I got the Matte Avatars- so incredible to the touch. Did not expect that to be a thing! I’ll borrow his Twin Tank for a video. I’ve written with it and it has that same smooth feel! Stay tuned!
Diamine dont have a competition to just name their inks they actually let reddit users to 'design' a couple of inks, I think each year. A lot of these reddit inks become very popular.
Thank you for the clarification!😊I’m new to Reddit! Thank you also for watching. So… which one is your favorite?
@@KitchenCounterCrafts Writers blood as its wetter - ocblood if I have to be 'sensible'.
@@janwilson9485 😂 “sensible!” I love it! It’s such a gorgeous color!!! At one point, I had 3 pens inked with it!
Love that colour! It's on my wishlist. I only have a Safari Vista with a M nib, the clear one, and I love it. It was my first fountain pen in December last year. The ink flow is wonderful in my pen and I'd like to get some other nibs and see how I like them.
@@sushanart what a great pen to start your collection with!! Endless Pens had this one with a double discount! Do you have a TWSBI or a Pilot Metropolitan? I’m a Pilot fan!!!
I thought Serenity Blue was darker? Love the colour combo, lovely Leonardo ink and that pen looks very interesting. 😇🩷🙏🙌
@@sushanart oops! I meant Inspired Blue! I’m sorry for the confusion! Serenity is such a gorgeous dark blue! I love Waterman for their reliability and use in vintage pens💙 thank you for watching!
@@KitchenCounterCrafts Have you seen Waterman’s Mysterious Blue? I like it just as much as Serenity. And yea, the Waterman inks remain the very safest, almost ideal, most recommended ink to use in vintage pens and pens made with special materials, specially celluloid.
@@sajjadhusain4146 yes! All of the Waterman blue and black are great! I’m okay with using them for my vintage collection. They perform well and I don’t have to worry! That’s a win-win!
Edit, Edit!!!! CUT, Cut!!! LOL! Geez.... that is what my FPR pen does, which has a flex nib on it that is great to write with just not with the pen housing.
Hi, Tracie! FPR pens have very often seemed to get such a bad rap from users on pen forum comment sections. So, I was wary of ever buying one myself. But nib options and affordable prices remain quite appealing to me.
@@tbayless8324 😂 I’m a literal mess!
@@sajjadhusain4146 Hi Sajjad!!! How are things in your pen world? Any new purchases??? I made the mistake of buying FPR a few years ago. The ultra flex was a sad thing. The feed, the writing, all was unpredictable and unreliable. So I borrowed another one, thinking it was a one-off but the other one was the same. The only one that was any good was the “muft” which literally means “free.” It was free with purchase and I’m at least able to eye dropper and use it. So sad! In my opinion, go with the Pilot FA or the Noodler’s music nib and save the headache! I don’t recommend FPRs for that reason.
@@sajjadhusain4146 Hi Sajjad.. would you think maybe the housing could be warped? The pen writes great. Kevin sent me a different nib and feed, but that did not fix it. It needs some kind of seal through there.
@@KitchenCounterCrafts Haha! 🤣 But at least it was real and funny!
I am such a pen and ink matchy-matchy person. I don’t own a Pineider, avoiding a new filler system. I adore your in-depth ink reviews. 💙
@@MarcellHobbs In the beginning, I thought it was silly to match, but for the first fill, I love to find the best match! This one is a converter! Not the twin tank (my husband has one and he loves it)! You’ve got to try one! It’s that magnetic clasp on the cap that’s a joy!🤩
Not me! I am all over the place with pens and ink. I am heavy into the shimmer inks right now. Kwz Sheen machine, FWP Emerald Gardens and others that are hard to get. Marcy I see you doing the inkvent again, I disliked about 6 colors of that.
@@tbayless8324 Yes, since I broke my hand two days before Inkvent 2023 started I wasn’t able to share. In March I got the idea of Christmas in July to share and experience. I’ve already ordered Inkvent 2024. I absolutely love shimmer inks! 🤩
@@MarcellHobbs Oh no! I could have swore you did it. There were so many showing it, probably got you confused with others. So sorry.! Shimmers are alot of fun. Who and what color is yours?
@@tbayless8324 I love me some shimmer!!! Yes! I’ve been checking out Marcy’s work on the inks. I want that Mysterious one! So pretty! Diamine has some lovely inks!!! I have several shimmers. I can try to remember to bring you some at Dallas
Is it a leatherbound?
@@LaggingLeland Not leather. The cover is a hardcover with the beautiful cross on it. If you got it leather bound, it would definitely be an heirloom
I have a Green Striated Sheaffer Balance Junior with chrome trim. I need to get a sac put on it, but otherwise it is in great shape. I also have the longer slim Sheaffer Green Striated Balance with a wider chrome band, but the feed is broken and needs to go in for repairs. BTW, I love how you wrote your f’s and l’s! Beautifully written!
@@MrsinTN I bet your green Sheaffer is beautiful! It didn’t cost much to have it restored, especially at a pen show. Are you able to get to one?

@@DoloresJRush Happy 4th, Dolores! We are still celebrating 🎆🇺🇸💥
That was so much fun! Thank you for sharing 😍 🎆
@@CheriRosePlans Awww, thank you for watching my idea of “fun!” I love, love inks and can’t stand to see them wasted! I was thinking all day about painting, so now I have a little bit of art for my 4th of July journal 😍 Hope you have a great weekend 🎆
Fabulous fun! I could hear the pop and fizzles in the background. Cool sound effects for your painting session. That’s a good use of inks with fabulous colors! To avoid contamination, you could place some ink into a palette. Rinse away when finished. We live in the country as well. I’m watching 6-8 different shows all around me. It’s 10:30 p.m. and they are still going strong! Since my dog is anxious and upset, I’m wide awake. Thanks for sharing! 🎆
@@MarcellHobbs where were you when I spilled my vial of the red candy cane ink??? 😂 I have a ton of paint palettes and didn’t even think about that! So much better to contaminate the whole vial, don’t you think?
@@KitchenCounterCrafts 😂 We need to support each other for sure! 😆
Does Shin-ryoku have a bluish tint? It's hard to tell.
Thanks so much for watching! ❤ Nope, it’s pretty much different shades of green. The other 2 have a bluish tint, making them more like a nice teal
This is such a good idea omg😊
@@CrazyPieLove so… I’ve kinda gone crazy on old planners! 😆 But now I have several pretty notebooks! The planners can be so pretty and tend to have heavier/nicer paper! Do you have any planners laying around?
@@CrazyPieLove also! Thank you for watching! Are you going to try???

Aww done on my birthday last year 🎉😊
@@Lolimiggi nothing says “happy birthday “ like writing with blood colored inks! lol! Looks like I missed your birthday this year 🥺
Thank you for sharing! I have the OT and NT sets. I haven’t used fountain pens yet however will be doing so in the near future. I am enjoying NKJV at the moment however not using fountain pens 😅
@@CheriRosePlans The pens do really well on these! Glad you have both sets- they are so beautiful to look at and to use. Do you use them for study? What do you do with them?
I have the whole set in the Old Testament and New Testament. I’ve wanted to use an EF nib pen to copy/write scripture, book by book, eventually transcribing the whole Bible. Your artwork is adorable.
@@MarcellHobbs Yaay, Marcy!!!! I bought an interleaved bible to do this but I’m scared!!! I was thinking about transcribing all the psalms first- just in a journal! I haven’t started yet. Want to do that together?
@@KitchenCounterCrafts Yes, I also bought an interleaved esv bible with the same intentions. Yes, let’s do it together! I’ve already written several books of the Bible in other journals, but would like to commit to the interleaved. Psalms? Old Testament? New Testament? Back and forth? I was thinking of using an EF nib document ink for the project. We could even collab the project!
@@MarcellHobbs love it!!!! Will you email me? Kitchcountercrafts@gmail.com
Beautiful artwork, Mona! Great job!
@@andrewlawrence1834 Thank you so much, Andy! I’m hoping that one day, my kids will have them and develop a love for how beautiful the scriptures are🙏🏽
As a model builder and painter metallic colors are often recommended to have a black undercoat to bring out the shine of the metallics. Nice colors. I’ve bought about 6 colors from this company. Also metallic pigments are always going to sink into the bottom of the jar so you always need to mix the paint before you can use them properly.
@@willisjackson7029 oh wow!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! So how do these do on metal & wood? Plastic?
@@KitchenCounterCrafts So far I’ve only used them on plastic and they work great. The Dr Ph Martin’s Bombay Teal India Ink I used silver as an undercoat and then the teal on top of it and it turned into a metallic teal. It looks great.
@@willisjackson7029 wow!! 🤩 that sounds fabulous! I’m a sucker for anything metallic! Hence the purchase of the full set!
@@KitchenCounterCrafts If you’re familiar with clear paints and putting them on top of a metallic undercoat then it creates a metallic version of the clear paint that you put on top of the metallic paint. People in the modeling community call it candy coating and depending on what kind of metallic undercoat you use you can create different shades of the metallic undercoat depending on which clear paint you use on top of the metallic paint. The possibilities are endless.🙂
@@willisjackson7029 now you’ve got me thinking! That sounds amazing!
Qué genial! Felicitaciones!
@@abumaravilla5628 Gracias, amiga!💕
So pretty 🤩! I just received a sample of the Robert Oster Antiqua Rose gold ink today! I love Robert Oster’s cherry blossom and after trying out a sample ordered the bottle along with Robert Oster Romeo and Juliet. So excited as I am sure I will be adding a bottle of the rose gold antiqua to my collection soon.
@@CheriRosePlans oh Yaay!!! I’m so happy for you!!!🥹 someone just left a comment about the RO RG Antiqua clogging up their pen. I’m glad you have a sample to try it out. I’m going to keep this ink in the pen for a few weeks and see how it goes!
@@KitchenCounterCrafts thank you! I am hoping that you found a winner in the TWSBI RGII broad nib as far as clogs go. Please let me know 🫶🙏
Hello, I am envious of all of you who managed to use Robert Oster Rose Gold Antiqua.... I have a bottle but so far but it has clogged every single pen I tried it in (broads, stubs, and medium) I wonder if you shake the bottle well before filling the pen, I sure do but there are so much shimmer and the particles are so coarse that it never fails to clog my feeds :( This includes a TWSBI Diamond 580 Rose Gold II <m> for which I bought that ink...
@@AMusset whoa! Thank you for sharing your experience with this ink! It’s been in this pen for a week now. It’s still writing (Broad nib). Try putting some Iroshizuku in those pens to help lubricate and get some of those particles out. I think I’m going to do an experiment with it and see how long I can keep the ink in this pen and still have it write. Hmmmm… you’ve got me thinking 🤔

I also have a couple of the same technical pens. The ink was dried out on both pens and thinking of just using soapy warm water to clean them. But I saw these Higgins at Joan's site and decided to give it a try. Is the pen India ink suitable for technical pens? I just bought Higgins Pen Cleaner (#17979881) and Higgins Fountain Pen India Ink (#: 17976879) and they may arrive in 5 business days from today. Any thoughts?
Mine doesn't write at all
@@angelareighard3778 try these two things before you decide to toss it: *push the cartridge all the way in. I thought I had mine in but I had to literally shove it! You can also pop it out of pen to see if it made a hole in it. If there’s no hole, try it again or grab a nail or something sharp (BE Careful!) to pop the top. I don’t really recommend this step but it might be worth a try? Just please don’t hurt yourself doing it.💕 *with the cartridge in, tun the nib under the tap or dip in water to help the feed not be dry *if neither things work, you can always use this as a dip pen for ink! I do this with several of mine! Hope that helps
Not sure why the price is up there, they stopped making them as I understand, and it could be treated as a collector's item. it has nice NS emblem, on top of the cap, stands for north south and if I recall that a sailor who developed pilot pens. still debating to purchase medium nib.
@@user-ts5ld8tg7f I’m learning so much from you! Thank you so much! It’s funny about Pilot being founded by a sailor- it should have been an airline pilot! 😂 NS makes sense now (for North South). I’m not able to help you with the medium nib! All I can say is that I love the Pilot Fine. Seems to be consistent pen to pen with them. Do you have any F pens from Pilot already?

I have the platinum ultra extra fine, its great for technical writing but nit for singing documents. I am motivated to get the pilot NS, steel nib and as everyone saying its starts great from the box, but the price is only thing stopping me, as for the sane price I could get the custom 74 with gold nib. Thank you for sharing
@@fadibakir9265 Thank you for watching and for sharing! I have never heard of the Pilot NS and I’m a Pilot girl!!! Wow! You’re right… the price doesn’t make sense to me for a steel nib? Curious… Do you know why it’s priced almost at the Custom 74?
Don't have any TWSBI's yet. I like the Diamond and Minis in cream colour but I'm not fond of rose gold. It would be cool if you could choose between gold, silver, rose gold or bronze for every pen and model. That would be great! I have been looking at Opus 88's, after watching one of your videos, and they have many nice pens. And now you reminded me of the TWSBI's again. *sigh* 😆🩷
That’s a cool idea! Those parts come apart so I would think it would be easy?🤷🏽♀️Don’t get me started on the Opus! It’s so versatile and useful for my daily writing- just be aware because the Omar is big and many complain about that. Even with my small hands, I don’t have issues with it. TWSBI Eco is a cheap way to go about $35 USD, so it’s not too great of a commitment! Nibs cannot be swapped out on the ECO but for the price, you could get 2! Yes, I’m a penabler for sure! So do you have any Pilots???
Oh my goodness 🤩😍🌸. Love it so much! Thank you for sharing. Just subscribed 🖋️
Thank you so much for watching and welcome to my little channel! Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help with your fountain pen habit- I’m an “enabler “😍

@@KitchenCounterCrafts thank you so much! Your videos are so detailed which I appreciate so much! LOL! I have to agree that you assisted in the decision to purchase my first OPUS 88 Cherry Blossom in a broad nib. I purchased today. I found one for sale on Mercari. I figured I can always purchase a separate nib as I do not usually use broad nibs. Thank you! Super excited as I adore Sakura!
@@CheriRosePlans congratulations on your new Opus!!! I’m so excited for you to get it! So… let me tell you what happened yesterday morning! My family and I were in the garage, getting into the car for church. I reached into my purse to make sure I had my mini Sakura for taking sermon notes. It wasn’t there! I actually panicked because I was at the Okc Pen Club on Friday night! I jumped out of the car and looked at my pen club bag, purse again, counter… nothing. Sad, I ran back to the car (now running late) & opened my passenger door- the pen was laying inside the car (in a sleeve), between the seat and the door! This showed me that if this little beauty was lost, I’d get it again!!!😍
@@CheriRosePlans please tell me what you think when you get it!!!
I love matchy-matchy! I have used the R.O. Rose Gold Antiqua in my Kaweco AL Rose Gold and J. Herbin Gris Orage in my TWSBI Diamond Smoke & Rose Gold. Thanks for sharing the wonderful pairing. It took me quite a while to get away from my F and EF nibs because I like fine writing as well. But! Once I tried a B nib I was hooked because I was able to see the beautiful sheening and shading properties of my glorious inks. I do have several TWSBs, Eco-T, Eco, Diamond 580, Vac 700 R with a B nib, and Diamond mini. I love the four Rose Gold Editions that I have. I enjoy all your videos. Thanks for sharing!
I think I missed your Kaweco rose gold!!! I’ll need to watch that video! So… FOUR Rose Gold??? I’m thinking that you might be the winner here!😍Interesting that you were the same as me for broad nibs, although I never had any issues with stub! It’s quite wonderful and the added bonus of being able to see the shimmer and sheen of inks is worth it! Just took me a little while- lil several years! Hahaha 😆

Hi there, I'm glad that I watched your video today. 😂 I did order the rose quartz online and will be arriving on Tuesday the 24th. I was worried that the ink might be to light. Thanks for your review I think it will be a good buy. At least it is darker than my Kaweco Sunset Orange. 👍 I did watched your video reviewing Syo Ru , Tsuki Yo and I am ordering those too in sample 5ml vial. And lucky me, I did found an local online retailer having stock on Iroshizuku Ina Ho which already discontinued. I will be buying that in 15 ml. The only volume they got. As always thanks again for all the videos.
Thank you so much for watching!!! That is so kind! I hope you will enjoy it. It’s an interesting ink. I read that if it’s too light for you, put the bottle in a window where it gets sunlight. The ink should darken. I put it in another pen with a 1.5 nib and it came out light. I left the pen out and the ink darkened inside the pen! Weird right?
@@KitchenCounterCrafts Interesting 🤔 Thanks for the tip. 👍
@@fjschnitzer1 I forgot to mention how lovely the Pilot inks are! If you ever use a shimmer ink and your pen doesn’t perform well afterwards, clean & use an Iroshizuku ink. They’re lubricates and help any pen that might be skipping.
I love all the ideas you come up with!!
Time to make some & put into your planner- especially the washi tape sampler. BTW, did you happen to notice the washi? They’re yours!!!
I did notice!!! I grinned when I saw them and thought, “I recognize that washi!"
@@TheKatalystical Thank you again for sharing your treasures!

@@tbayless8324 Thank you- it’s just cheap entertainment for me 😊
@@KitchenCounterCrafts Lol!😆
Thank you for making this video. I think this is the only video review of this ink in TH-cam that I know of. I just bought black TN. Thinking of ordering a separate TF black refill thus I need a white ink for this. This specific brand and color ink is available at my local pen shop. Expensive though at 16 bucks when converted to USD. Ouch!! Your channel really contribute a lot in my purchase decision. Couldn't thank you enough. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching, my friend! I believe I paid $16 USD also! The sample of 5ml was $5, I thought that was too much. I’m super glad you like the video. I have been using it for my writing and art since I got it!!!! It’s amazing!!!! Would you please, please let me know what you think AFTER you use it??? Also, a blog to check out is the incredible Liz Steel. Just search her name and this ink!
Yes, I love this idea. It is so relaxing. I'm in touch with my inner child!!!
Awww! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your thoughts! Now… it’s time to go play!!!😊
