From the video, it appears the swab is the best in consistency, although I'd wonder how well it transfers shimmer in those kinds of inks. The brush is probably the best with that aspect, but I doubt I'd want to deal with that much ink and the drying time needed. What I do is use an eyedropper to pull up some ink, having shaken the bottle so I get a fairly decent homogeneous mix of the whole body of the ink, then squeeze 2 drops of ink onto the swatch card, then smear it around with the bottom of a small glass bottle. Almost any small glass bottle with a flat bottom will do fine. That spreads the ink around enough to give you sample spots of shimmer, sheen, less ink, more ink (usually in the center where it pooled). It's been working well for me. The biggest variable to deal with is the quality of paper being used as swatch cards.

Hello been getting so many items it is my first time ❤

What an awesome Hobonichi lineup! And Jupiter is looking so handsome and playful! Good luck with puppydom! I picked up my planner - a Weeks Mega, a Kubota Weeks for inky fun, a Kubota HON for who knows what, and some accessories, including a banana 🍌 hammer! 🎉 I’ve been jonesing for one ever since you got yours. 🤘🏼😹🧡🖋

Congratulations on the puppy!

Great selections!! I purchased the Through the Purple Night Weeks as well but the Paddington Weeks was the one item I definitely wanted and couldn’t purchase due to the server issue :(

Thanks for sharing. I got the weeks snow globe for menus and health tracking. I got an A5 Cousin for tasks and journaling, and a Denali pencil board. Btw Jupiter is adorbs.

I got the same Weeks cover last year and used it for a wallet for the majority of this year, and it worked out fantastic. I even had the clear cover on my weeks and it fits inside perfectly. Unfortunately, the magnet on the Tragen means it's not recommended to use as a wallet, since it'll disrupt the magnetized strips on your cards, but I can see how it would be handy as an EDC with the pen pocket! The surprise puppy photos are adorable! A great haul video :)

Puppy love!

Wait what album is the art based on!?!?

Your puppy is just adorable !!

I can’t stop cracking up at the banana ripening. 😂 Your puppy is so cute! The material of the tragen keeps reminding me of something I had in the ‘80’s but I can’t place what it was. Maybe parachute pants? I don’t think I had actual parachute pants, but I had a pink and black jacket of that material that I loved. I got the same Unsodo Weeks and the Cousin Hon. I love those patterns.

Oh my goodness, what an adorable puppy! You have your work cut out for yourself!

Lovely haul. You made the right decision for your Weeks cover, you cannot put cc in the Tragen Weeks cover as the magnet will wipe your cards. I loved seeing your Purple Nights Weeks, I missed out on that because I went to bed…maybe I will put in another order when it’s back in stock. So sweet hearing your excitement. Beautiful baby 🐶 I decided on a Weeks for work and an A6 for Work Journal - 2025 I plan to write reflections on what I learnt from the day, what went well, what to do differently, what I learn from people I work with - I’m not good at ‘blowing my own trumpet’ or recognising a skill I have - seeing it as ‘just something I do automatically. (I’m a mental health coach and I’m often moved and so inspired by the people I coach (also living with Health challenges myself) so I want to capture moments of joy and inspiration for me but with respect and anonymity incase someone else looks at my book for a leaning experience). Their story is not for me to tell but my experiences are for me to grow. Thank you for the cute adorable ending to you video 😍🐶🫶🏽🙏🏽

Puppy! 🎉

sense I only go in my bujo a minimal amount I bought the weeks mega I'm gonna see if I can do like a running weekly or something like it for next year I dont have a lot going on at the moment so : / we will see how that goes and I got a black pink pencil board :)

This was fantastic! I love it. Thank you so much for sharing! 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋

That was really relaxing, thanks for sharing ! 😊

Interesting. My Diamine Seize the Night is a very dark blue grey!

❤

Your nails match your notebook so well!

I love it. It is the best sport. Writes smooth. Feels and Look great. Fantastic quality and work. Bought two. One for me and one for my son's high school graduation. Thank you for your review

Thank you!

I was there as well. Great show!!

Loved your haul! Thank you so much for the shoutout 😊🖋

What grinds do you have on your Pelikans? I have a medium nib that I need to get tweaked because it's just too broad for me.

I don’t think Kirk Spear is capable of selling a poorly performing nib. I purchased two pens at the Triangle Pen Show. An Artcraft Celtic Dragon from Kirk. The tactile feel of this pen is fantastic, and the John, the maker of the pen, is very responsive and easy to work with. I also bought a beautiful Red & Black Ebonite pen from DarailPenz. Nice haul.

I was actually at this show! It was so much fun! Thanks for sharing :)

Great products. I love nahvalur pens.

What a fun haul!!!! The cat and wave stationery and pin are so cool...and you tiny mini pen!!!!❤😂 I'm glad you got to enjoy the pen show and get some goodies!!!

Great haul! Thanks for sharing

Nice haul! Love going to pen shows, I can see all the pens!

OMG I love this! What a fun pen show! I am very enabled with your stationery purchases, and so glad you got nib time with Kirk. What a bummer about the Pelikan, but I’m so excited about your oblique grind on the Kaweco. I have a couple of oblique nibs and I definitely need to explore them further. I have one of the F-C pocket notebook covers and they are so well made. I hope your husband loves it. That tiny pen is awesome, and I love your Little Pen Designs pen. Totally gorgeous! And your labels! I need to check my stock. 😹 Thank you so much for sharing! 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋

Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope to make it to a pen show one of these days 😊 Take care and have a good week!

Yay! I’m excited to hear about your experience at the show!

Gorgeous! I’m a “regular” watercolorist but have never tried ink art. I am also a fountain pen enthusiast and use them for both writing and sketching. I actually live within an easy drive to Thoreau’s Walden Pond and have walked around it. What dilution of bleach water do you use? You don’t seem to worry about leaving it on the paper.

This new Kaweco fountain pen with piston mechanism is a charming and coherent continuation of the Sport series. The design is an absolute success, but it has one flaw that surprises me. The dimensions of the new Kaweco are identical to those of the regular Sport model, with one exception: the section goes deeper into the cap. On the regular Sport model, it measures 3.7 cm, while on the Sport Piston, it measures 4.3 cm. For this reason, the fountain pen is 6 mm shorter. This inexplicable fact reduces writing comfort, giving the strange impression that something is wrong. That's very unfortunate...

Did you go to 2023 show? If so, was Sam Flax there?

Love that ink. Glad I bought a bottle.

and after 8 minutes, still has not opened the box.

What nib size ❤❤

Will it write just as good for left handers , I want one , it looks beautiful , I love small pens xxx

Thanks for the low tech , and excited energy.

I've watched a lot of videos on this pen and yours is the best one. But I cant decide between a Fine or Medium nib.

That's a really nice Kaweco collection. Is that a violet Al Sport, and what is the color of the other greenish one you have?

I ordered the exact pen with the same nib size from the same store in Italy. However, mine comes with the 30ml blue ink bottle and is halfway on it’s journey to me, l’m excited.

if I hadn't *just* bought an AL-Sport...

I was really surprised when someone from a popular pen company when I talk to him could not pronounce Kaweco correctly. He said. Kaw wake oh! Ugh! This guy is a professional. And I even pronounced it properly just to give him a little clue. And he pronounced it back to me the other way lol 😆 I think you may have just penabled me to get this pen, but then again, I do collect Kaweco pens!

8 and a half minutes to get to the product??

Congrats on the new pen!

Ahhhhh! So exciting! The tiny scissors could have been comical. 🤔🤭 But finding no knife and then asking about the possibilities of the bananahama had me rolling. That last pen you bought before this one was also pretty exciting! 😹 I totally would’ve stuck that packing peanut on my tongue too. I think we might also be cats. 😹 And every once in a while we need an exciting chaos video! That is such a cute scale. 😻 Thanks for the wiper Lamy! And I love your low budget zoom! 😹🧐 Overall, this was exciting video from an excited friend that covered this pen perfectly. 🤩 Go b-broad or go home. 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋
