hi Lori, don't think the "bonus" ink from wonderpens is a sample. i'm canadian, and during winter a lot of local retailers here will remove some of the ink from the original bottle and put it in a plastic vial to prevent the glass from potentially exploding in transit especially during winter. in winter (or just cold weather conditions in general) ink can freeze (and thus expand), this solution prevents an inky mess for customers.
I just love when you share the pen ink choice. It is fun to try to guess what you’ll chose and it gives me ideas about what I’m going to ink up next. 😊
There are times I fill a pen with a color that I change after I write with it! No worries there it happens a lot. Lovely pens Lori, have fun and explore!
I enjoy your calming voice when you make videos. I have a suggestion when you fill a pen with a piston or converter mechanism: When filling the pen, run the piston all the way down before inserting the nib into the ink; then all you have to do is run the piston up to fill the pen. This will reduce the time you have to keep the nib submerged, as well as the chance of knocking the ink bottle over.
Omigosh. I stumbled upon your channel this morning. I love fountain pens and ink and I love your voice and the soothing background spa music. I’m having my morning tea and trying out my newest pen and ink that arrived yesterday while listening, such a relaxing morning. So happy to have found you!!
I’m so glad you hinted about the new line of Pelikan. I will wait. Thanks. You mentioned about no shimmer inks in a piston pen; will it damage it overtime if it dries in it? Thanks for a wonderful video. 😊
I'm so excited for your trip to the Dutch Pen Show & London! I got into pens after I traveled to London, but I need to recommend Dishoom, an Indian restaurant in London (there are a few locations). If you like Indian food, I hope you can go. Thanks for a lovely video. I really enjoy hearing you talk about and show your loved pens and inks
Wonder Pens removes some ink to prevent expansion and breakage from freezing. I thought the same thing, but it's simply ink from the bottle you bought. Interesting idea of inking Ali the same brand.
so soothing, I was able to get a sample of Birmingham's Kenai Fjord at meet-up and love it - it's a great blue. Will definitely be buying the whole bottle
Thank you. Really enjoyed this. Liked your drawings and your funny comments about them 😂 For your trip to London, you have to go to Choosing Keeping in Covent Garden.
Hi Lori, beautiful pens you inked up in your pencase. The light pink of the Scribo is very elegant- well the whole pen is 😌 I‘m sorry if you mentioned in previous videos (I didn’t find it in the description box), which Journal are you using? I think you mentioned Leuchtturm and the paper is so white, that’s why I’m wondering.
@@timewithtata8004 thank you for answering! I also enjoyed Leuchtturm and Stalogy. I just had a good laugh about the Lamy notebook (90gsm) in which my Lamy pens (+various inks...) bleeded through, you basically can't use the back of the page.
Hi Lori! Do you notice if the SoH Chai Latte is lighter than your Calico 3776? I just got my Chai Latte in the mail a couple of days ago but it feels... a bit light and cheap in my hand? (KenchanCrafts described it perfectly in his video haha). I think I would pick up a Calico or Tortoise Celluloid next if those feel heavier than the SoH Chai. Also Pelikan is the last brand that do not have a pen from.. excited to see their new neutral launch! Fingers crossed my collection is complete after then (until a Montblanc makes its way into my life 😅)
Lovely video! In England if you can go to Art From the Heart in Harrogate. I think it’s far from London but they have a gorgeous supply of pens, inks and journals.
I ordered the new TWSBI cafe today! That Celadon Cat is inspiring. Order as soon as I send this comment. Also getting the Kyo-no-oto-Adzukiiro! Thanks for the video.
Hey, Lori! The mixable ink from Platinum is called Earth Brown. I’ve two bottles aready, LOL, since that also came w the Shape of Heart Ivoire. I’ve inked my Chai Latte w OnInks Leather Patina. 🤎🤎🤎
You have such beautiful pairings for all the pens. 🥰 👏👏👏❤️ Perhaps you can visit Hazel Soan’s art gallery in London. She is a truly wonderful watercolorist & teacher. I do believe you will enjoy her loose vibrant style with watercolor that seems to be a lovely pairing for the ink worlds especially the ones from Birmingham Pens. 😊
All your pen and ink combos are lovely. I've been going lighter with most of my inks for Spring. I would caution you about using shimmer ink in your Scribo, because when Joost interviewed the gentleman from Scribo he recommended not to use shimmer inks with an ebonite feed. I just bought a Scribo Feel second hand and can't wait to try the flex nib.
Did you remove the O-Ring from the mechanism on the 823? I did this to mine recently because I did not like that it would occasionally write itself dry even with the back cap unscrewed. I too love both brown inks and pens.
I’m not sure if anyone’s mentioned it yet but the ink that came with our chai latte pens is called earth brown. However the interesting factor is that you can mix it with other platinum mixable inks to make your own color. There’s actually a chart for them. There are a few on that list that I feel would go perfect with this pen.
I'm so sorry that you didn't enjoy either of the pens I recommended. I've had such great experiences with my Hong Dian pens.....but I'm so happy that you are enjoying your Lamy! Did you get the Safari? That's a great choice! Thanks so much for watching.
Hi Lori. I love your videos and watch them several times each. Your voice is so calming and I have to admit, I've fallen asleep late at night listening to you speak. I just wanted to tell you that I am a jewelry designer and use tons of crystals. All of them are made by SWAROVSKI, you're pronouncing it incorrectly. I just wanted to let you know. Thank you for sharing your beautiful pens and journaling techniques, ink swatches, etc. I am new to the fountain pen world, only since January. I believe that pens multiply when we're sleeping. It's the only rational explanation for how I got so many. I'll be looking forward to more wonderful videos.

Great line-up and ink choices; the Sakura Laban and ink is just perfect and so delicate. Loved all of your illustrations!!
Thank you Tina!! I love that sakura combo!
Fantastic video! I love the sailor mini and the sailor pro gear, beautiful inks!❤
Thank you!

Love all the pens! For my Chai Latte I have Ferris Wheel Press Oyster Hour because it matches the cap so well 😊
Oyster Hour must be beautiful! I'll have to try that ink in it soon!
The platinum chai latte is fantastic
Thank you! It's really a special pen. xo
Hi Tata thanks for your videos. I wish you would also demonstrate nib flexibility by adding some pressure to see width variation. Thanks :)
Great suggestion!

what a gorgeous month! I’ve added a couple of inks to my wish list, thank you!

I love discovering new inks! Enjoy! I look forward to tryin this brand soon!
I ordered the cafe twsbi! Very excited for it to arrive
I hope you love it!

Thank you! 😃 Just went to their website!! I have to visit! It looks beautiful!

Thank you for watching! Yes, I use Leuchtturm notebooks for my morning pages and Sterling Inks B6 planner for my daily reflections and planning.

This looks so good, I love it ☺☺
Blue Crab is one of my absolute favorites!!! I have it in a pen right now. 🥰
It is a really pretty shade!

Can't wait to watch, but first, I must get the coffee going !!

Thank you! I didn't see the name on the bottle. It's a pretty brown. I hope you're enjoying your Chai Latte pen!!
Iroshizuku Murasaki Shikibu is a very nice purple ink.
Ooh thank you! I'll have to check it out!
You have such beautiful pairings for all the pens. 🥰 👏👏👏❤️

Lori, what is the notebook you use for swatching in this video? I really like the format

What kind of paper are you using is this a special tablet
In your opinion, which I value, what Leonardo would you recommend, nib and model? Thank you.
I just found out about the chai latte and I can’t find it anywhere, does anyone have any ideas 😩
For Atlas, I think the 10% coupon code no longer works for Pilot. I’ve tried. 😢
They added pilot to their exceptions list back in January 😢
Did you remove the O-Ring from the mechanism on the 823? I did this to mine recently because I did not like that it would occasionally write itself dry even with the back cap unscrewed. I too love both brown inks and pens.
Time with Tayda
My ADD keeps me swapping pens basically every paragraph! Ha ha!
Relatable! 😂

Thank you for this sweet message Debbie! I agree with the multiplying pens while we sleep! Haha I love that! They're like little gremlins!
Hmmmm not what I would not have picked that ink with the Chai latte
I just did a huge BPC order and I got some blues! Let me know if you want to trade samples!
❤❤❤❤📚✍️📖❤️📕💪
Luca will tell you to never put a shimmer in an Ebonite feed with your Maddalena. They don't play well together
I changed it out after I read this Leann! Thank you!
