Hi Amy! Thank you for sharing! There’s nothing wrong with staying within a budget range. That’s the beautiful thing about this hobby! I really loved the association you have with your late brother and a certain pen/nib. It was really heartwarming.
Great video! I have enjoyed hearing you talk about the different pen nibs. I admit, I am intrigued, and I can see how fun it would be to explore different pen nibs and pen bodies!
Thanks for watching! I realize it's different from others 8 Pen Question videos, but it's who I am. I do find the process of matching nibs and bodies quite fun. :)
I name some of my pens too. If the first time I look at a pen, and a name pops into my head, that's the name. I have 3 named pens: Lola for the Pelikan M400 Tortoiseshell White, Jaws for the Lamy 2000 Steel, and Batman for the Lamy Studio LX with a 14k 2-toned nib. If you like bigger pens, take a look at Ranga Pens. They have some larger pens, with nice acrylics or ebonites, and a variety of nib options. I have to see these Waterman flex videos. Very interesting in building pens. I know how you feel though. I like beautiful 2-tone nibs, dimensions and bodies. It's not always easy or cheap to get them all in one go, but it is possible. Those are the pens that bring me the most pen joy. Excellent, fun video. You have such a refreshing take on how you play within this hobby. Very fun.
I can't believe I missed this comment! Thanks for your thoughts. Someone else mentioned Ranga within the last week. I need to go look them up! Love the names you've given your pens :) Waterman flex videos have not been forgotten; they just haven't happened yet.
that's one way to put it! LOL It's such a different video from everyone else's that I hesitated putting it up but I was on the schedule so... thanks for watching :)
Lovely video! I realized that I'm not a broad girl either. 😅 I have one broad nibbed pen and because I wanted to try it out. But, it's too big for me. I prefer extra fine, fine or medium nibs. I want to experiment with flex nibs next.
Did you buy that purple Sailor PG with the zoom nib? LOL. I only bought my currently favorite pen because you snagged that one away from me. Thanks! I would have never bought it otherwise. And now it's my new favorite nib.
I love my Gena Salorino Perspective grind too! Such a fun one.

Thank you for the heartwarming comment. Sometimes I just need to hear 'it's ok to be responsible.'
Thanks for sharing! Love that you name your pens and also love that some of your pens are connected to your brother. 💗
Thanks for watching and for your lovely comment
I've named a couple of my pens, but mostly I don't. I really loved meeting your friends and watching your video - thank you so much for sharing. :D

Loved hearing your answers Amy! It’s wonderful that you know what you really like and seek out those things. Enjoy your weekend 😊
Thanks for watching! Have a wonderful week :)

I love how you really know your mind and your preferences. You are making your pens and inks uniquely you!
that's one way to put it! LOL

Thanks so much for participating! It was enjoyable to get to know you.

Love that you put together your own unique pens! Barbie is fabulous!
Aw, thank you

I didn't, but I'm glad you found your new favorite! Mine is a 1911s with black body... It's the perfect size for my son 😅
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I don’t name my pens (except for one, that I really wanted to have a more fitting name). I do name my cars, furniture and plants though, so I get you!
Those are things I have but have never named. My sister names her cars though; her first car was Patrick and now she has Leonard. :)
