Hey Lorelei! What a beautiful collection and wonderful video 🙂 Thanks for the kind words about my inks! I don't know if I could narrow down to even my top 10 favorite pens from the year... my favorite always seems to be what's in my hand 🙂
Hey girl, you've inspired me! I've been loving your Nettuno for a while and today I decided to finally pick one up! I used your coupon at Atlas. Love the Velvet copper and Kiwi Quetzalcoatl.
Very nice and Christmasy too. Love that 1911 and your Lmz Your kiwi ink Quetzalcoatl ( sounds like Aristotle) is from my neck of the woods in Monterrey park California and is beautiful. My 5 currently inked are Montblanc 149 with Montblanc combo of UNICEF/ older turquoise. Parker Centennial big red with Parker penman emerald Retro 51 tornado Montana, Goulet exclusive with Parker penman Sapphire Sheaffer Pen for Men III with Waterman intense black Jinhao 9019 black demonstrator with Lamy dark lilac 2016
LTB Bird Monster was also one of my favorite inks this year. :) I have it currently in my Scribo Feel Verde Antico with a 14K medium flex nib and that combination ist just wonderful. ❤ Your choices are gorgeous, the Leonardo especially, thanks for sharing ! 😊
I’ll second that The Wet Pen is an amazing channel! And the BlackBerry is my favorite as well (I don’t have any cause I recently found his channel and he doesn’t have any inks available right now, but is working on them, and he has a notification email he’ll send out when they are available.) Love your pens! Very unique and beautiful!!
What's up Lorelei! I see you rocking the Opus 88. I have one and they are great writers. And the ink takes so long to run out that I am worried if a miracle was performed on my pen. 🤣Ok ok I see you bird monster. My fav color is violet, however when mixed with a green shade, they work wonderfully. I liked the sample I got from Yoseka, so I purchased a full bottle of that one too. That Sailor Pro Gear matte black is really sleek looking. Red ink actually sounds perfect. That is such a match for the two of them. Thanks for the vid. 😊💜
Hey wassup! Thank you for your comment and for watching! Yes I'm an Opus 88 user for life. I just bought an Opus 88 Omar too and it's incredible! Love it so much... so comfortable in my big hands. I should do a comparison video of all the sage greens I've bought over the past few years. There is a bunch and I will most likely be embarrassed to see how similar they all are. Still would be a fun video.
This year I went a little crazy with the pen and ink purchasing so must do a low buy next year, but my fave pens I bought are " Lamy Safari Pink cliff, Turning by Design in 'Cosmos', Asvine V126, Pilot Kakuno (ef nib), and PENBBS 456 in the Lemon Cookie colourway. Honorable mention are my Opus pens, they are great writers and I have them in lovely colours (milk tea and red/grey marble). Favourite inks of this year would have to be Colorverse Life on Mars and Martian, Penbbs Mung bean cake and Matcha Ice Cream and Robert Oster x The Coffee Monsterz Co Day to Night. Thank you for sharing, I must find a way to try that sage green from Lennon Toolbar, it's too gorgeous !
My favorite pen is the Mitsubishi Pencil SXN100328.9 Permanent Ballpoint Pen, Jet Stream Edge, 0.28mm extra fine tip. My second favorite is this pen I picked up at the konbini that just writes easy and is easy to read and is only slightly bulky, but not enough to be discomfortable. The tip is pretty limiting at 0.5mm though.
Someone already posted that Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec god. If you compare representations of Quetzalcoatl with pictures of the gorgeous long-tailed Quetzal you can see the inspiration of one to the other.

The velvet black copper is stunning. Nice collection!

Hi! Kiwi ink is a US company, based in Monterey, CA. IIRC I visited their table the last time I went to the SF Pen Show, in 2019.
Oh shit! Thank you for clarification!! I will make a correction in today's video.
@@HandmadebyLorelei No problem! I don't think it's a huge deal, just maybe easier for US-based people to order from them than if they were in AUS. :)
Great choices!
(I really want to try the De Atramentis Velvet Black Copper! )
Thank you, very much enjoyed this video. Merry Christmas!
Cool stuff. I like your variations of pens and ink
Love that black copper!
Very nice and Christmasy too.
Love that 1911 and your Lmz

Oh wow! That sounds amazing! Scribo is definitely on my list. I'm looking at Omas too. Thank you for watching 😘
Beautiful list of top 5s 🤩
Thank you so very much! I am excited to use these through the month of December. Each one was stellar while swatching.

Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec god
The Nettuno pen is beautiful. Amazing. How much does it cost?
It retails for $188 on Atlas Stationers

Blackberry looks like it could be my perfect colour, but its' out of stock and the international shipping puts it out of my price range 😔
Quetzocoatl was an Aztec god. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalc%C5%8D%C4%81tl
Love the pens and inks!
