I'm back! Corrected subtitles are up! I'll get the translations up in an hour or two. OK OK, did anyone see the stop-action at the end?! I had so much fun making it!
Everyone else: "Here's how you avoid staining a Micarta pen ..." Inky Rocks: "Here's how you roll a Micarta pen in a puddle of ink in order to get the stain just right." How do I still get caught off guard by this stuff?! 😂
Absolutely! But you guys are dangerous (translate: fun) to be around! Toronto Pen Show is on my bucket list. Thanks again for those lovely lovely inks!
I LOVE your videos. Your editing is superb. It was funny, interesting, and I always learn about other ways to enjoy the hobby and about penmakers, artists and professionals. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much. I've been unable to make vids lately because of moving and changing a lot of things in my life (retired!) and getting back in the saddle was fun. But I was rusty!
@@InkyRocks I understand. The work it takes is almost always not given credit. Any change, from wall colors to…everything basically takes time and work to adjust. I would recommend you to embrace the change and start a new image. Just keep that voice and the script. 😊.
So glad that you are back! And glad that you are in the US. I hope this time of year isn't getting to you too much especially living in D. C. At least it will be a bit closer to Tucson for the Rock and Gem show. I enjoyed seeing all of your pens - Kirk is my main nibmeister. Isn't he a delight?
He is awesome! An incredible enabler too hahaha! It can be intense here--but I got my pens. I'm going to Tucson this year (reward for missing TIPS this year!). Thanks so much for your continued support--good to see friendly familiar faces.
So great to see you again. I’ve really missed you! Love the Esterbrook x Betty Soldi notebook. And I was in DC in April and went to Jenni Bick. I picked up a newly released Lamy fountain pen there. Loved the store and all the beautiful paper. I look forward to seeing more. Glad you caught that crab!
So here for all your content. I RAN out to the backyard where my husband was playing with the dog to show him your coverage of the micarta fountain pen by Skogsy Pens. He has several knives with micarta handles. Yes to the crab narrative arc, including the stop-motion! Thank you for always posting creative content.
Thanks so much! I had no idea Micarta was used for knives till I got this pen and researched it a bit. I had so much fun doing the crab thing-it was like making a video about my internal dialogue! We must be on the same sine wave!
@ It is I that should be expressing gratitude, you’re as solid as ever, I just work for a international firm and some people decide to disregard our sleep in China, I had to translate a training session, I’m a 5:40 guy, not a Jocko yet xD
I still miss when you were in Japan, but I will take your videos any day, anytime, Ma'am!! I am glad you are settled in and envious you got to go to the DC pen show and Yoseka, that seemed like it was nuts, so busy. I have some of those Warren Pens, you need to have a knack for writing with those, I had to take some Micro Mesh to those to keep them from catching on the paper. The points are very sharp.
Thank you! I’ll be returning from time to time as I have a lot of friends there. And I’ll definitely do vids about my trips! Yes those pens are pretty sharp. I was lucky and didn’t have to fiddle with mine, though I did poke myself with it! Most dip pens are a bit fiddly.
@@InkyRocks I was amazed how old they are, and still write real well. Alesa, I have alot to learn with those kind of dip pens, they didn't do well with FP ink, but Calligraphy ink they did fine. And I had to fire the nib up and run some micro mesh over those pointy nibs because I got them caught on the paper.
Thanks! I really don’t know. I ordered a couple, and bought a couple at a stationery show while in Japan. They were limited edition as they have to be made by hand. So I just kind of bought them while they were available. (I just added them to my cart)
hahaha! Hopefully I can get them out more regularly. I'm trying to set up a filming space so I can streamline the whole process (each vid takes about 20 hours)
Great video! So glad you’re back. It looks like you had fun at the DC show. I was at Jenni Bick yesterday (I had a few moments after a meeting near DuPont Circle) and was so glad to see the expanded line of inks there. I’m looking forward to the next video!
Thank you 💖 Jenni Bick surprised me-I think my mindset was from 10 years ago and good stationery stores were a bit hard to find. I will DEFINITELY be returning 😂
Yay!!! Love your videos. It was so fun to see your purchases from the various mid-Atlantic and northeast pen and stationery shows!! Looking forward to your video on Jenni Blick. I work down the street and pop by frequently. They’ve got a nice selection of stuff. Happy Halloween!!!
Happy Halloween! You are so lucky to be so near Jenni Bick! It really is a lovely store and so many interesting journals! Also, it’s nice to see the stuff before you buy it. Thanks!
Wow That’s a lot of good stuff in your haul. Had to rewind the video a few times to look at some of those pens again. My, my, my! Looking forward to more videos. And I hve a crab too that likes to steal the show. He got offended in some of my June 30inks videos, silly thing.
Loved everything in this video 💕 So glad to see you back - I think. I mean my wallet will not like it😂 And now I have to have that crab! Loved how it kept popping up.
I'm back! Corrected subtitles are up! I'll get the translations up in an hour or two. OK OK, did anyone see the stop-action at the end?! I had so much fun making it!
Awesome video
As always. If you are ever in the Boston area - coffee, lunch, or dinner on me!
welcome back. we were all missing you :)
Everyone else: "Here's how you avoid staining a Micarta pen ..."
Inky Rocks: "Here's how you roll a Micarta pen in a puddle of ink in order to get the stain just right."
How do I still get caught off guard by this stuff?! 😂
Hahaha! I have a weird brain. So glad you’re entertained by it 😂
Biggest smile on my face. So glad to see you back in videos!! Cannot wait to see you again :D and make some inky messes :)
Absolutely! But you guys are dangerous (translate: fun) to be around! Toronto Pen Show is on my bucket list. Thanks again for those lovely lovely inks!
Welcome back. Great video. Enjoyed it. Thank you. 👍👌
Thank you! Great to be back!
Sooo glad your back I missed so much your videos. I ordered the rattlesnake. 😂
Thank so much--I'm so glad to be back! I hope you like it!
Spooky spooky crab! Lovely to see your stuff, it was all a delight to watch!!
Crazy crab!! So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you💖
I LOVE your videos. Your editing is superb. It was funny, interesting, and I always learn about other ways to enjoy the hobby and about penmakers, artists and professionals.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much. I've been unable to make vids lately because of moving and changing a lot of things in my life (retired!) and getting back in the saddle was fun. But I was rusty!
Love those penholders. I've got both of them on my Christmas wishlist 😊
They really snazz up my desk. I'm having fun with them!
Omg the stop motion is hilarious. That crab is such a rascal lol great to live vicariously through your kids. Can't wait for the next one.
Thanks so much! I had so much fun with the crab-I think I was a little punch drunk from all the un-packing hahaha!
@InkyRocks can't wait for the update video.
And that was supposed to be *thru your vids" not kids. Sorry
Very enjoyable! Looking forward to the next video 😊 take care
Thanks so much! You too!💕
AAAAHHH! my Inky Rocks fix. I’m such a junky for your videos. And as always, you don’t disappoint!
Thank you so very much! 💯👏🤩🤩🤩
Thank you! And for the feedback. It’s weird making a video here-I’m not used to it yet ( lighting, background, subject matter)
@@InkyRocks I understand. The work it takes is almost always not given credit. Any change, from wall colors to…everything basically takes time and work to adjust. I would recommend you to embrace the change and start a new image. Just keep that voice and the script. 😊.
Welcome back! I missed you! WOW what a haul from the pen shows! Lovely pens, amazing pen holders and inks❤❤❤
Glad to be back-missed you guys too! I have the best subscribers!💝
Nice to see your post. Excellent stuff
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
@@InkyRocks Will you be at TIPS - do check out Pengallery (mr Lai). He will be bringing his stash of the original Tomoe River & some original inks
Pleased to see that you are well. Looking forward to your stateside content!
Thank you so much 💖💖💖

Looks like you had a heck of a lot of fun! I LOVE your new dragon pen. That nib is STUNNING!!
I know! Thanks so much 💖💖💖
Such a great video!! Love the intro to many new things. That dragon heart pen is gorgeous 😍
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it 💖💝💜
So glad to see you back!! I was so sad I did not see you in the DC pen show 😢 Better luck next time 😅 More flex ASMR please!!
Thank you! Sorry I missed you! Of course I’ll be going next year. Will do!
So great to see you again. I’ve really missed you! Love the Esterbrook x Betty Soldi notebook. And I was in DC in April and went to Jenni Bick. I picked up a newly released Lamy fountain pen there. Loved the store and all the beautiful paper. I look forward to seeing more. Glad you caught that crab!
Hahaha! Thank you! That crab was a rascal! Glad you went to Jenni Bick. A friend is trying to arrange a journal making class for us to attend!
You are back. Welcome. 😊 I am happy now.
Hahaha! Me too. Thank you💖
So here for all your content. I RAN out to the backyard where my husband was playing with the dog to show him your coverage of the micarta fountain pen by Skogsy Pens.

Brightens up my whole day, thanks auntie, waking up at 4 for work doesn’t seem that bad with this film xD
Hahaha! Thank you! Glad to help! And bravo to you for being an early bird!

This video made my day! Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks so much!
It was so good to finally meet you in person! I'm glad you enjoyed my visual journaling class.
Likewise! I loved it-and am still messing around with water colors and sketching. Hope to do more now that I’m more or less moved in
This video was so much fun!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
We moved from Louisiana to upstate New York so I understand how hard moves are. Glad you back
Thank you! Yes, and it was complicated by having stuff in storage, having to order stuff to be made, and leaving some stuff in Japan. Almost there! 💖

Uh-oh, I'm gonna have to go shopping for some of that blotter paper. My old, old tired watercolor paper has to go! Nice to see you back, missed you!
Thank you! I LOVE blotter paper and use it everyday--though water color paper sounds like a GREAT idea!
Very cool.
What’s the name of the multi color stamp pad
Thanks! I really don’t know. I ordered a couple, and bought a couple at a stationery show while in Japan. They were limited edition as they have to be made by hand. So I just kind of bought them while they were available. (I just added them to my cart)
Happy to penable anytime you need 😃
Bad bad influence. In the best way hahaha! Hope you're doing good!
@@InkyRocks Doing okay, hope you have recovered from the penabling.
Thanks Alesa . Glad you are back and settling in! Look forward to upcoming videos!❤
Thank you! I have the BEST subscribers 💖💖💖
wow how fun, some lovely pens, inks and products, thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much! This one was a fun one for me!
So glad you're settling in ... and not just because I'm greedy for new videos ....though I am. 🙃
hahaha! Hopefully I can get them out more regularly. I'm trying to set up a filming space so I can streamline the whole process (each vid takes about 20 hours)
That swatch book is amazing
I know! I love it! They have a new one coming out pretty soon.
Hey! Welcome back! :)
Thank you!🥰

I just saw that, it's cute, 😆
Thanks so much! Did not realize you have a channel-you are a hoot!! I subscribed! I couldn’t find the one with the crab though.
Loved everything in this video 💕 So glad to see you back - I think. I mean my wallet will not like it😂 And now I have to have that crab! Loved how it kept popping up.
Thank you so much! I enjoyed making this video, and I always enjoy interacting with my lovely viewers! 💖
Red and 1.1 ? Sign me up ! :) Looks sooo nice...
Thanks! If I’m gonna have a red pen, it would be this one!
Yay!!! Welcome baassck
Thank you! 💖
Glad you are back. Where can I get a Warren Dip pen?Great video.
Thank you! I got it at the DC Show, but he does have an public email: danwible@hotmail.com
Alesa, If folk ask me why I have a big goofy grin plastered on my face for the next 2 weeks, I’ll just play them this video.
Hahaha! Thanks so much! Now I have a big goofy grin!!😁
Yeah.

Hi you know if "Pen House" sell the pen cases online?
They have a website “Pen House USA” but I don’t see any boxes. You can try to contact her thru there.
