Thank you for sharing - such a beautiful selection of new inks to play with! Orchid Black Tongue Spider looks intriguing. Ajisai is beautiful, not too blue not too purple - I have a 15ml bottle and it's a great size. I still count it as a bottle rather than a sample haha. Yeay for repurchasing ink samples you liked using before! 🌷
I still need to ink the orchid spider one!! Maybe I will for March!! And yes I love ajisai!! I was thinking of mixing it with tsutsuji or Yama budo because I’ve been seeing a lot of people make really pretty colors with their iroshizuku inks!! Thank you for being here!!
Sounds like an ink for March, yes! Fingers crossed it comes out saturated for you! Or, you can just put it in a kakuno to be sure haha ouuu that would be interesting! Maybe another ink situation to try for march hehe! My pleasure, thank you for sharing!@@Wholelatteplans
Totally relate to the buyers remorse from buying bottles. I have 3 that I want to get rid of because of it. I didn't get samples before buying them though. My new rule is to never buy a bottle without trying an entire sample first.
Yes!!! Sometimes I justify it like, well the price per ml of sample is way higher than just buying the bottle 🫣 Whyyyy!!! lol. Oh well. More for trades
This was a really fun video. I enjoyed hearing your comments and watching the sampling. I’m really intrigued by the DeAtramentis Violet Copper and will head over to Vanness and add a sample to my cart. 😁 Glad you enjoyed the ones I sent and I’m having fun testing yours, too. ❤
elyse, would you ever consider selling themed sample packs for beginners to the hobby? you have such a great collection and it’s super inspiring but i don’t know where to start lolol
Aww that is a good idea!! I don’t have enough diversity in my bottled inks to be able to do that, most of my bottles are shimmers lol and the rest of my collection is samples! Goulet pens offer sample packs, I think you get 8 samples of a mixed variety! What fountain pens do you have? If you wanted to buy individual samples based on your preferences I would recommend the brand diamine for both their regular and shimmer inks, Kwz is a great brand, Ferris wheel press make great shimmers. I recommend Vanness website for samples too!!
@@Wholelatteplans I thought I replied but I guess not! You inspired me to try out a Kakuno and a mix of a bunch of different inks. I mostly picked vibrant colors for Spring but I’m excited to get into the vampy colors too. Do you have any recs for bullet journals that don’t ghost the ink from page to page?
I really want to get some shimmer samples but I think I like too many now! I really like The Violet copper and Bronz you sampled here. Gonna add them to the list.
Hey so glad you are back! But wait, you can’t go on a no buy! 😳😳😳 well, definitely don’t stop doing currently inked! 😘💕🖋🙌🏻
I knowwww! Not buying is so sad lol. Well, I broke it twice so far, but I’ll keep trying and share my “fails” lol
