Feelin the love for the 3776 - definitely my surprise love for 2024! Just needed a little nibmeister love to get the flow perfect and now it's the always ready with carbon black
Yes! Nibmeisters are pen magicians! 😉 I'm delighted, Christyn, that your 3776 is now the perfect pen for you. It's a pen I definitely want to get another of, maybe this year. Mmmmh...
Yayyyy! I have so much fun just paging thru the notes I’ve written about inks, especially when I want to use a particular ink in a different pen, I’m reminded how it fared previously with that nib.
Thanks Priscilla 🥰 Cannot believe how much fun this lineup has been to choose from this month and didn't realize how restrictive ONlY 6 pens was. Adding in the Parallel nib was genius. Been waiting for a chance to use them then went..."Duh". 🤣
Beautiful inks and pens this month, Grace (you unconsciously are a matchy match girlie.. love it!) That Document Violet and the Majestic Spruce especially!
Thanks Julia! 🥰. Ikr, it seems I am after all but never intentionally 😂 I only notice tho when I go to swatch the PIPs combo and see that the ink matches. I realized afterwards that even the Jinhao 82 finial matched theMajestic Spruce green I picked. What the!!
Omgoshies! I love the FWP ink you showed and the Diamine Rustic Brown! I need to try those out..AND INTERSTELLAR BRONZE!!!!!YASSS!!!!! I am soooo happy you commented on my message in another TH-camr video! Subscribed! I can't wait to backlog watch all your videos! Happy Writing!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Haha Midori, I’m so happy you’re enjoying my channel! ☺️ As we both know, BPC Interstellar Bronze is the bomb of an ink! Cannot NOT have it inked up in a pen right now. Ha! That FWP ink is a hybrid for sure, The colour is slightly darker than it should be.
@wildlyimaginable Yeah I am looking for a peach, coral, mauve and/or dusted rose ink atm. The FWP is interesting! I was told by my adult child no more greens lol 😆 (My nickname is Midori because my favorite colors are greens/teals...been my nickname for over 30 yrs lol) I need to try the Midori products out 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Look forward to watching more of your videos! 💚
@ I wanted to ask how you got the name Midori. I think it's lovely ☺ I am a big fan of Midori notebooks especially. Prolly have 7 in my current stash, 5 finished, 2 new currently using.
@@wildlyimaginableyeah I am a PC/Video Gamer and when I decided to pick a gaming name out years ago, I looked up Names meaning Green and Midori stuck. Lol I then found out it is a melon liquor years later and a stationary brand. Lol I really do need to try their notebooks. 😊
oh Grace!! i haven’t caught up with and watched your videos in a while and your energy as always is such a joy to watch! 💛 also i am terribly sorry to have left you on read over on ko-fi, i have put together a package for you :) these colours are all amazing!
I love your January ink choices. They‘re bright, colorful and invigorating. Are you sure the Pilot Parallel hack doesn’t work with your Opus 88 Omar? I‘m asking because I recently saw a „Doodlebud“ video from 2021 where he did it with an Opus 88 Omar Amber and it worked. Thanks for sharing.
Have you tried a shim between the tines of your Opus 88? It looks like the tines are too tight. If you need a shim, I have extra, or can take a look if you bring it to a meeting.
Not into cartridges much and a 30ml bottle breaks my 15ml or less ink bottle buy. There te too many inks out there to try that I don’t need large bottles that’ll just sit there in my ink drawers. I do like Soft Mint but have to consider all the time, do I want THAT much of an ink and this one in particular. Mmmmh….🤔
I have a spare 12ml bottle of diamine soft mint grace that I would be happy to send to you if you can think of a way to swap details safely as I don't use any other social media.
What!!!! I am floored (let's just say I gracefully dropped to the floor 😄). I cannot say no to your generous offer (maybe a swap is in order?). I am no longer on social media as well, bleh! It's why i started my Ko-fi page, it's the best way for me to trade private msgs with peeps. Hopefully that works for you (link is in description box btw).
Matchy matchy …my subliminal messages to you! 😂
Haha! It’s you! That’s why I’m subliminally matching pens to ink! 🥸 Stealthy moves my friend 🤣
@@wildlyimaginable Is this the matchy culprit‽ @followyour brush, you got me too!
😂 We were just talking about how we both have some matchy matchy happening when we usually don’t- now I know why!
@@penguin1780 Yup. 🤷🏽♀️

I received my PIP sheets and am waiting on the notebook you recommended to put them in. I’m excited to begin to use them.😊

ooohh pretty!! Lovely choices. I like that Parallel nib. So fun.

Snow White & the 7 dwarfs came to mind for your eight pens 😂
love it!'
That’s hilarious! Yes! I’ll take that.
Lovely selection of pens and inks as usual. Xx
Thanks Clare! 🥰 I am thoroughly enjoying using all I selected this month barring some glitches here and there.
Gotta love the Jinhao 82 Minis!
Ikr!
Love the Guava ink
It’s gorgeous and fits in with my olive green ink love I’m going thru at the mo.

Glad you're enjoying watching. Whenever they arrive Bucky is when they're supposed.
I forgot about the ink swatch thing I had in my wallet for you! I’ll leave it in there for the February meeting and put a reminder in my Filofax.
Sounds good. 👍🏽
Soft Fine platinum forevahhhhh! Gena Salorino just put a cursive italic on one of mine in Philly. 🎉🎉🎉
Haha, love your 1st line. I'm definitely getting something done to the nib, not sure what yet,
I love your January ink choices. They‘re bright, colorful and invigorating. Are you sure the Pilot Parallel hack doesn’t work with your Opus 88 Omar? I‘m asking because I recently saw a „Doodlebud“ video from 2021 where he did it with an Opus 88 Omar Amber and it worked. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Queen for letting me know about Doodlebud's video. I've watched it and only wish my parallel nib fit as easily as his did. Will try again tho.
Have you tried a shim between the tines of your Opus 88? It looks like the tines are too tight. If you need a shim, I have extra, or can take a look if you bring it to a meeting.
Good suggestion. I’ll try the Pilot Parallel shim-like material and see if that helps at all. Will let you know. Thanks!
@ The clear window on an envelope will also work in a pinch. I have also used the paper backing of stickers.
@ Wow! Amazing what works in place if a shim.Thanks
The diamine soft mint- there are 30ml bottles or jetpens does sell cartridges of it!

I love my Opus 88s I have I think 3?
I think I remember they’re mostly minis right?
@@wildlyimaginable I have two mini and one regular, Harmony. I love it!!!
you crack me up lol
Haha, I’m here for that. FUN is the name of the game 💃🏽
Well as of yesterday I dried out 3 of the 8... and added one back in... One is also now missing again. cheeky bugger, so Its evading me.
Cheeky bugger indeed! I wish a speedy reunification with said pen. Writing dry is good in my book. Means you really enjoyed the pairing.
Hey Grace if you ever want to rehome that opus 88 hit me up.
I hear ya! Can’t give up just yet but that day might come sooner rather than later. Ha! Will def keep you in mind tho. Thanks!
