I really enjoy your videos. The PWMs, the fountain pen videos, ink explorations - all of them! Your reviews have enabled me to make a couple of purchases lately... a Platinum 3776 and the Laban Rosa in Lilac - LOVE them both! Thank you! And, you've opened my world to the custom pen makers - O my! So many beautiful selection out there!! I would love to see a video about how you choose your inks for the month. The colors are always so pleasing together and coordinate so well with your monthly spreads. Do you have your stickers planned for the month when you plan the inks? Or is it the other way around. I confess I have too many ink samples and I struggle trying to decide what to ink up. Do you have this problem?? Thank you for all your content!!
Hi Kim - thanks for the lovely comment! And yay for your two new pens! I don't really have a process for picking inks - some months, I have a set of stickers that I'll be using in my planner that month that will inspire the colours. Other months, I go with what I feel like. Sorry it isn't more definitive!
I love your currently inked videos. I really like seeing how the pens with the different nibs perform with the ink. I inked my Pilot E95s with Brunch Date and it's not exactly matchy but I love the pen, it writes so smooth and the ink does flow really nice with it. I have it with a fine nib. I also want to try some Iroshizuku inks with my EF nibs. See how they perform. Have a great day and glad you made it home safe.
April's inks and pens are lovely! I don't change my pens by month and I have two many inked to list, but my two most recent inkings are the new TWSBI ECO in Persian Green with DeAtramentis Mint Turquoise and a Leonardo Momento Zero Grande in Sand with Van Dieman's Laughing Kookaburra Crest. Both very matchy-matchy. I'm glad to hear you like Ferris Wheel Press Storied Blue. I'm not a big fan of FWP inks, but I just picked up a bottle of Storied Blue because I love the bookshop illustration on the box and Storied Blue does not have shimmer. I know I'm insane, but I love FWP packaging so I allowed myself this one indulgence. 😏
I'm a bit of a type A personality and like everything packaged so. 😊 And congratulations on the new TWSBI! Some of the FWP shimmer inks are hit or miss - along with their non-shimmer. Some are dryer, but others are wetter. Storied Blue is a good indulgence!
Lovely ink selections as always Karyna. I have Ina-ho inked up as well this month. Let me know how that Dusk in Bloom works for you once it dries, coz I have it and love the colour of it , however when it dries it kinda fades and gets real pale especially in my Hobo. 🤔
Great video. I have all the Iroshizuku ink colors as samples but not the Ina-Ho. Thank you for showing it. I’ve looked everywhere for a sample of this discontinued ink, any ideas?
Ina-ho and Asa-gao look so great! You are making me want to get a Laban pen. Also, Laban Aphrodite is so beautiful. What I have inked: Lamy 2k with Pilot Iro. Tsuyu-kusa (so sad its discontinued), Kaweco Al-Sport with J. Herbin Larmes de Cassis, Pilot Custom 823 with Colorverse Brunch Date and Twsbi Eco with J. Herbin Myostis. Oh, and I keep my Pilot VP inked with De Atramentis Archive ink.
oh wow, I thought Harahara was a more muted/dusty purple that would be hard to see in writing. That was surprisingly darker than I expected. You have a very pleasing colour palette for the month of April.
Your Esterbrook pens are beautiful. They’re on my wish list.😊
They are well worth it! My favourite pen currently!
I’m always happy to see a new video from you. You have a good eye for choosing inks for specific pens. The new Benu is gorgeous!
Thank you so much!

Beautiful pens and inks. I still regret not buying ina -hoa. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome 😊 and thanks for watching!
LUV your nails. Okay, now I’ll pay attention to the inks. 🖊
😂 thanks Donna!
The colours are so appealing all together
Thank you!
I love the March update page that you do. I’m going to start doing the same thing now so I can keep track of what I have and what I use up.
That's great!
Love a good currently inked! Great range 😍🤗 My fav Shikiori inks are Yamadori and Yodaki. Must haves for me!
I still have to try those two - I've heard great things!
Love the colors. I’ve been eyeing the Estie too.
Good choice!

Thanks, Priscilla! I can imagine the Pilot E95s with the Brunch Date would be a great combination!
I love the combos !
Thank you!

I saw that you inked up Ina-Ho! Dusk in Bloom is light... flow is okay but it is really light.

I don't know where you could get samples of it right now - sorry!

Laban is a good brand - highly recommend! And great combinations - thanks for sharing.

Thanks Tanya! Yes, I really like Harahara and trying not to buy a bottle. 😂
Just used your $10 off first order on Pen Chalet! Thank you!
Yay! Thank you!
Lovely lineup of pens and inks Karyna! I too can’t believe it’s April already 😱
I know, right?! Thank you!
May I ask where you sell your pens? I've been looking for a Benu Euphoria Iced Caramel Latte. 😭
I sell my pens on Instagram or post here on TH-cam. People sell them on Instagram through the VirtualPenShow account, or through Reddit as well.
@@KarynaLovesToPlan - Thank you. I just followed both accounts. 😊
