You are most welcome!!!

Oh that’s awesome!!! Welcome (to both of you)! What kinds of pens does she make?

Thank you! I have Trust U in my cart at two online vendors and I’m contemplating if I want to add more to get free shipping and if so what inks do I feel that I need a full bottle of or do I not fall into that trap and just pay the shipping. I always play this game with myself (while secretly hoping the online store will email me a coupon to complete my purchase).

@ you just explained my inky life 😀😀😀🤪🤪🤪

Thank you! You are so right that these colors are very spring - I am feeling the hope for an early spring this year!

I want to catalogue them better! I have a journal that I have done all my swatches and initial pen tests in that is almost full and I plan to do a flip through of that!

Also, welcome!!!

Thank you! I am glad I’m not the only one!

Covid around Christmas sounds terrible!!! I hope you are feeling much better now! I am feeling pretty healthy (knock on wood!)

I have the Kobe ink on my wishlist! I will have to check out these other inks!

I love that we have this pen in common!

Welcome! I’m happy to have you as part of this little family! I wish I had the artistic abilities to sketch as I can only imagine that sketching with a fountain pen would be so enjoyable! Plus, the dual use of ink…. Yes to all of that!

Sleigh ride has smudged way more in my experience. I haven’t had any smudging with good tidings but I did use blotting paper while writing. Sleigh ride smudged days after writing with adequate dry time

​@@thejoyinpensandpaper890 thank you for the quick reply! I appreciate it 💙

You are MOST welcome! I try to keep up with comments because I really appreciate a response when I comment on others videos but certainly there are times where days go by before I allocate the time to commenting. Lately though, knock on wood, I have been enjoying checking a few times a day and replying when I’m transitioning between buildings at work or while cooking dinner or watching a show, etc.

I do love it but can appreciate it’s not everyone’s cup of tea! I remember back in 2016 (maybe slightly earlier) I was really torn between the VP and Lamy 2000 but, if I’m being honest, I didn’t love the Lamy Safari so I purchase my first VP (and convinced myself that it was the only fountain pen I would ever need so it was ok to spend that much money… boy was I lying to myself!) and I was very pleased with my choice!

That’s been my experience as well until I had the sailor fine nib and that “felt” like it was finer - I’m happy to be wrong on that, though!

I wish she still did them! They were really inspirational (and calming!)

@ Yes!

Much like the Jinhao - I would recommend the mahjong/moonman A1! Grab it from Amazon! You can get to know the body style in your hand and if you want to explore a vanishing point the big different will be the nib as it’s 18k but also more fine (I.e., the medium will be more fine in a VP as compared to the A1 medium). You could also consider getting the A1 and then buying the VP nib unit - stick with me and I’ll give you all the tips!

@ thank you 😊 I appreciate you and your tips! Glad to be here

I want to try carbon platinum black!

I love the VP and consistently talk myself out of getting them because I already have some. I really wanted the Taiwan anniversary pen as well! I am so excited we are twinning the the white and black!

I also really love the feel of the matte and it’s a pen that I can bring to any meeting and not bring attention to myself! I actually talk about fountain pens (and of course have some ready to show off) when I have a job interview and they ask me to tell them something about myself that doesn’t pertain to my work history. Pens and running are my two anecdotes to humanize myself!

Oh thank you so much!!! What high praise and I hope I can continue to bring valuable content!

I am honored to have a like mindedness with you!

I did! I was feeling very content with my pen and ink pairings this month!

Right!?! It’s gorgeous and I love it!

You know, it does feel cool to the touch!!! I am still thinking about while entry level pen I’m going to use for February and I also want to use some pens that I haven’t visited in a while. We need to catch up!

I totally see the oatmeal!!! Interestingly in the Opus 88, Tang Mi Se Blue remained pretty true to color despite being inked up for a few months. While I’m surprised, I totally understand the shift in color with exposure to air (e.g., a cap that doesn’t have a very tight seal)

I learned about it just as it was discontinuing - I’m very thankful that I was gifted this bottle!

Thank you!!

I believe that will be in my February lineup and likely in a waterman carene in amber

I can give you a sample the next time we get together!

@ That would be great! Thanks Erin!

Health is improving (but I’m keeping my fingers crossed because I was in a classroom with kids that tested positive for flu the day after I was with them! Germs are everywhere!

@ 😮oh my goodness! I hope you do not catch the flu. That would be miserable. Sending all the healing light your way!

I’m picturing it the Amber Waterman Carene - but I haven’t decided which pens I’ll be using next month yet so we shall see!

@@thejoyinpensandpaper890 Ah..that pen is on my next list..can't wait to see it in your February currently inked!

They’re nice pens! The nibs write well (I have two different sized) and the bodies are pieces or art

I think Diamine releases full bottles of their Inkvent inks in April - but I could be wrong! This has been a nice ink to use and I’m considering keeping this combination for a bit.

I appreciate this message! I am starting to feel better. This past weekend was a long weekend so I got an extra day of rest. The flu is going around one of the buildings that I work in so I’m crossing my fingers that I don’t pick that up!

I hope those plans go well! 😂

Oh that’s a perfect pen to pair that purple with!!! I don’t know that I have much to offer about the leaking other than getting it perfectly lined up (which I haven’t yet figured out how to do!). I noticed on two of them that the cap was just the very tiniest bit askew so I’m assuming that’s why it leaked. Having said that, I really do love those little glass containers!

I am also enjoying these videos and flipping back and seeing my thoughts (vibe) for each month!

Thank you! It’s has the cutest little nib! I forget if I ended up finding it in this video but it was in my to be washed pen pouch

@@thejoyinpensandpaper890 yes you showed it, it looks straight vintage out of the 70’s! If you told me it was really from the 70’s barely ever used I’d have believed you. 😆

I think you will love it! It’s very unicorn-esque! Did you get a little clip for the cap? (Not necessary but I’m interested in what color you may have selected)

@@thejoyinpensandpaper890 yes I did! So the seller is sending it with a regular silver clip, but I got a silver deluxe clip from Jet Pens. So I have 2 options now, and how I see it is an extra clip if I get another one down the road. 😂

Oh hey neighbor!!! Yes, there are! There is a Pen Show in the fall (typically in September) and the Pelikan Hub (sign up on the Pelikan website and you’ll receive emails as the date gets close regarding time and place). Also, I personally get together with two other RUclipsrs less often than I’d like but every few months! Email me at behavingwellwitherin@gmail.com and I can let you know the next time we meet up in the event you live in the area! Welcome to the community!!

@ ok will do! Thank you! 🙏🏻

Thank you for your choices, I love this combination!

Love all of these! I am surprised more people aren’t selecting Ume Murasaki… but if it’s not in the combination stars for this month it’ll be in one soon!

Dry inks really frustrate me especially when it’s an absolutely beautiful color! My mind is picturing Ume Murasaki in the Amber Waterman Carene

@@thejoyinpensandpaper890 i dont think you will be unhappy with the choice!

Thank you for your choices! I’m so glad you like the jinhao 82 - it’s always nerve wracking to make a recommendation because pens and inks are very personal!

Thank you so much! I’m definitely in a muted era right now! One commented called this palette “romantic” and I love that so much and wish I had thought of that!

@thejoyinpensandpaper890 oh! That is a PERFECT theme name for those colors! 💚💚💚

Oh thank you!!! I’ll check it out - perhaps shipping is free with a bigger order (and this is the trap I consistently fall into!)

Your comment/contribution just filled me with joy! I agree with the Laban Rosa Lilac being the perfect fit for Trust U! I also love Laughing Kookaburra next to Mint Twist - my eyes are seeing a bit of the green in the more saturated parts of the swatch… if I don’t pick it this month perhaps next month it will be back!

I am going to try to be more intentional with using all my pens and include a more entry level pen each month. I enjoy flipping through these new pages of the inks I’m thinking of for each month because it is fascinating to see how the palette shifts

Ploughman’s Pebble is a stunner and I keep wanting to play with it! I also am really interested in trying out the mix I made to see how it behaves
