Awe, thanks!!

That's totally understandable. Little details make a huge difference! For me the feel and utility of this pen make me love it regardless of appearance. I would love to see other colors like blue, green, brown or burgundy.

@ Yeah i have the Blue Stone wash al version that’s not piston filled and its my go to daily carry :)

Ooh that's gorgeous! I would totally buy it as a Piston fill. I would buy it anyway if I didn't already have 3 Kaweco Sports, I feel like I need to branch out for my next couple of pens.

@ That happened to me i ended up with 4 Lamys then 3 Twisbis before i realised i had a problem hahaha

After week I'm still loving it. No regrets here! ☺️

Lol, we all have our weird little things. The 54th Mass is definitely my favorite blue. That's super interesting about the paper though. While I do prefer a fine nib I have a couple broad nib pens and I've never had that feathering issue. I know this might be blasphemous in the fountain pen community but I've actually never tried the Tomoe River Paper. I've just been super happy with the performance of the cheap papers I've used so far so I haven't felt terribly motivated to go for the more expense fancy stuff. I've also heard that the Tomoe isn't the same as it once was but if you can find the decommissioned version that is the way to go.

Thank you!! I wholeheartedly agree ☺️

10/10 would recommend. Especially if you have small hands like me.

It was so fun!! I do love having one place to keep everything. It helps my brain feel more organized.

Oh it's coming!! It may not be my next video but I'm definitely doing one soon. I might wait till after Christmas so I can include any possible new ones. ☺️

Thanks for the comment! We can't all have the best name in the world, jk. I'd actually never heard of Ranga pens before. I had to go look them up. So pretty!! The one you described sounds really beautiful actually. I have a few really cheap pens (cheap in price and quality) that are kind of bulking out my collection. I really want to to have a nice curated collection some day. Doesn't have to be crazy fancy but a few pens that I love would be perfect! I'm happy you've got a new favorite on the way!!

Such a good name! 😉 I have a Platinum Carbon Desk Pen which I don't love. I find the ink flow to be a bit too dry (but I do have extra fine nib on it so that may be partially why). I haven't tried other Platinum pens; maybe I will! My current "must have" pen is the Kaweco Al Sport Piston Filler. I have two of the plastic ones and I love them. I may end up currating a small Kaweco collection. I'd love to have the Liliput as well as the brass and an art model of the sport. I'm really enjoying the fountain pen community! It doesn't seem like there is a lot of posturing happening, just sharing a love of pens. It's so refreshing!!

Also, I looked up those the Platinum 3776. Those are some seriously classy pens!! Absolutely gorgeous 😍. The more I learn the more I feel like this will be a lifelong hobby for me. I don't want to go crazy buying every pen on a whim but finding the ones that really speak to me. It's such a fun process!

Oops, sorry I missed that one. I got it on Amazon. I added the link to the video description.

Thanks, Tina! I like that one a lot too. It's one of my favorites. 😊

Maybe I will give that a try! Thanks for the feedback 😊

@@leighannenight 🙂🙂

Thank you!

Thank you!

Good attention to detail! I do have a correction to that in the video description. The pen actually came with a converter so you don't need to refill the single use cartridges but I actually do use that method with my Pentel pocket brush pens.

Thank you! 😊

Yes, the things we practice at the most do become easy over time. Trying something new can really challenge our confidence but it's so necessary for improvement. I wish you well on your journey with faces!!

Totally, I try to only buy supplies we s I know I'm gonna use. Of course, I still like to try new things but I don't just buy stuff just because it's trendy. Natasha Newton has some hauls you'd probably enjoy.

When I bought these you had to order it from Europe and the cost was converted from the euro. I bought my first one well over a year ago and did not know they launched a site for Americans. I just checked and you're totally right (though feeling a bit cheated). I'm glad they've made it more affordable for people in the US. I wasn't planning on ever buying this again but now maybe I will.

Definitely! I'm finding them to feel very intuitive which creates a nice sense of ease and relaxation but then out of left field they will present a challenge that I just wasn't expecting. I love it though because it really helps me grow as an artist.

Thank you! I'm starting to get used to the way light hits hair. It was a fun one to make.

I just used a butter knife to pop out the old paint. I put the paints in some spare half pans (that thought would fit in the palette but they didn't) and put those in an altoid tin. You can actually take apart the daler rowney palette if you want to take the half pans out to rinse them before you put knew paint in but it does compromise the plastic the more you take it apart. But anyway, once you get the old paints out you can add your own from tubes and let them air dry. I don't know if that all made sense. I can maybe make a little video about it.

I definitely will do this!!

It sure is! It's been such a long time since made this and my pallet has changed since then so I really can't remember what the last color is. That's crazy though, all this time I've never realized there was a color missing.

I really should revisit that idea.

The round travel palette is what the Daler-Rowney paints came in. I don't think it's still in production but Daler-Rowney has some similar palettes on their website.

It took about a week for mine to dry. I think your climate/elevation can have an impact on the dry time. At the time of creating this video I was living in the Piedmont region of North Carolina.

Maybe they changed the package. I did get mine before the panini started so it could be supply chain variances as well. Definitely would have preferred the piston converter.

@@leighannenight panini. Im dead. The world needs to see this comment, it is such a waste that this isnt more visible lmao you made my day

wait, why do people call them bulldog clips? is that what they're called in some places?

Bulldog clips are the ones with a round cylinder type body and the handles don’t fold. The ones in the video I would call fold back clips. Unfortunately Amazon list them as fold back bulldog clips. Which I suppose helps with the discoverability on the search, but I’ve never heard them called that in real life.

@@dees3179 You're so right about "bulldog clips"! In Canada, we call the ones in the video "binder clips," which is also the name on vintage boxes of them in my supply cupboard. 😁

@@sheilasinghal2922 I'd never heard the term binder clips. It makes more sense though.

Thank you!! It took forever, lol, so I'm glad people seem to enjoy it. It's been really helpful to have it hanging in my studio.

Never mind, just reached the bit in your video where you’re talking about using the syringe. 🙈😅

Lol! I do that all the time when I'm watching TH-cam! It took me while to figure out that I could that with the single use cartridges. I tried using a pipette to fill my used up pentel cartridges and I always made a mess. Then I switched to using a syringe but generally I still recommend the pens that come with a reusable cartridge bc there's no need to figure all that out. Thanks for watching the video 😊

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it ☺️

Fudge you're right! Thanks for the correction! I'll note that in video description.

Glad you enjoyed it!!

Thanks!! 💙

Thanks so much!! I've been struggling a lot trying to figure out how to make better quality videos and I ended up phsyching myself out. I have lots of ideas and quite a bit of filmed footage. This comment might be just the motivation I needed to post again. 🥰

Welcome!!!

Thanks💙💙💙

Thanks girl!! 🥰

Cool! A lot of people seem to love watching paint swatching. Maybe I'll make learn woth me series where I do full color swatch mixing chart for each of my colors.
