Inkspirimenting with Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Guri // Can I make this ink more fun?? | INK MIXING
So, the last brown ink in my challenge (Day 7 - Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Guri) was kinda boring… Let’s see if we can spice it up a bit, shall we? Join me in experimenting with adding some distilled water and Diamine Mulled Wine to make a pink-toned brown ink.

Back at the cottage having fun with another brown ink. Diamine Nutcracker (from Inkvent) felt great with all my Lamy Safari steel nibs. Impressive! I’m 1/3 of the way through my brown inks challenge now - yay! :) Paper used: Leuchtturm1917 lined hardcover notebook (A5)

Continuing with Day 3 of my brown inks comparison challenge. Today’s filming was definitely a *task* with figuring out lighting and camera angles, but I very much enjoyed this ink!

Do I really want to keep my Narwhal/Nahvalur Nautilus?? | The Great Debate & A Trial Run
Просмотров 803 месяца назад
Hi, it’s me! With just a random video to tell you about my recent decision to swap pens with my sister. Because truthfully, I’m getting a little fed up with my Narwhal/Nahvalur Nautilus in Bronze Corydoras these days. So, I need a break to tell if I really want to keep this pen in my collection or say goodbye to it permanently.
Lamy Safari Nib Comparison with Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuki-Yo | Inkspirimentations! 💙🖋️

Today, while watching a recent video from @seemownay, I was inspired to take another look at my 1.1 mm stub nib. And thus began my quest to figure out which nibs appealed most to me on this Lamy Safari in Candy Mango. Thanks to my husband @thetallframer, I now have a better appreciation for Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuki-Yo, too! :) Sizes included in this video: 🖋️1.9mm Stub (steel) 🖋️1.1mm Stub (ste...
Currently Inked - Spring 2024 | fountain pens & ink
Просмотров 5045 месяцев назад
In the spirit of @adventuredenali, I’m just going for it - creating minimally-edited fountain pen videos and uploading them as I like. Here’s my currently inked lineup for this new spring/early summer season. I am in love with the brighter colours right now. Makes me happy. :) Fountain Pens: Pelikan Souveran M600 (Red Tortoiseshell) - with Fine nib TWSBI Eco-T (Saffron) - with Broad nib Ester...
Way darker when I used it - have to give that sample another try. Anyway, thank you!
Yes, I think I must have diluted it with water at the very least, so that would definitely make my sample lighter than the original ink
Thank you!
@@Volkmannx you’re welcome; thanks for watching!
Nice color, little too reddish for me, though. Still on the hunt for the perfect cacao powder <-> taupe colored ink. Some promising samples are on the way. Anyway, thank you!
@@Volkmannx oh, a taupe sounds interesting… 🤔
@@deskofem Pretty much Sailor Yurameku Kitsune Biyori. I already suggested Sailor Studio 373 (more legible) recently. You might want to check them out 😊
Nice color, thank you! Will get me a sample.
@@Volkmannx thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for the video! I really appreciate how you showed the ink in various nib sizes and included so many writing samples. It's exactly what I was looking for! I also watched your other video on brown inks and loved it. I'm surprised by how much I love the broad and stub nibs, your writing with them looks so beautiful. Thanks again for sharing ❤ I hope you can make more videos like that in the future. I'll be following you in my personal account. Take care!
Aww, thank you! I’m glad you are enjoying this video series so much; that’s very encouraging to hear! 😊 I’ve got a back log of brown inks videos coming. Just need to edit and upload them :)
I honestly love the dark brown color, especially with the color variability between dark and light brown. I'm currently getting into pens myself. That was a great video!
Yes, shading (light to dark) is my favourite ink property. It’s so unique to the fountain pen & ink writing experience; I’ve never found that with other types of pens. Thanks for watching and commenting! And welcome to the rabbit hole that is the fountain pen hobby! Enjoy responsibly, heh… 😅 It can get to be quite the time and money suck. But it’s so much fun!
I love brown inks so much! Cacao du Bresil is a new favorite of mine! New subscriber! Thank you for sharing 🤎.
@@Faithandfountainpens aw, thank you! Any other brown inks that you recommend??
@@deskofem I have many more to try however currently can recommend the following brown inks: Noodlers Manjiro Natahama Noodlers Polar Brown Monteverde Moonstone Monteverde Brown Sugar Monteverde canyon rust Diamine Saddleback Diamine Dusted Truffle Diamine Expresso Robert Oster Cafe Crema Robert Oster Toffee
@@Faithandfountainpens nice, thanks for the list! Diamine Espresso and Monteverde Canyon Rust are in my line-up for this challenge :)
The ink swatch looks like a bull with dachshund legs!
@@thetallframer 🤣 I can see it now!
Haha... I looked back and now I can't unsee it! 😂
@@UrbanOasis7prettiest bull I ever did see 😆👏🏻
@@deskofem totally agree!! 💕
I like this ink swatched. Writing too dark, though. I feel the same way with many inks unfortunately. Anyway, thank you!
@@Volkmannx me too. The swatch shows off the almost purple-ish undertones nicely, but in writing, it’s just not having the same effect. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Zamy Safari!
@@thetallframer of courze, it iz zee best ;)
Interesting method doing swatches - I like. My favorite colors at the moment are dusty rather light browns like Sailor Ink Studio 373 for example. Anyway, thank you!
@@Volkmannx thanks! Thought I’d try it out and see if it worked :) I’ve got to take a look at that Sailor ink. Dusty colours tend to be my favourite in general. Thank you for commenting!
And I meant to say I’ve never tried dominant industry inks. November leaves looks pretty. I may need to try that one. Is it legible or really light in writing?
@@AmberUnfinished in my limited experience with November Leaves, it is very light in writing. I think I found it too light on its own, so I must have mixed it with another ink at the time. November is my birthday month, so I want to love that ink. But I’m a little skeptical that I’ll be able to make it work at this point. We shall see… Dominant Industry has some beautiful inks and bottles. I love these ones for display. Highly recommend Autumn Forest; the hype checks out. :)
@@deskofem November is my birth month too. That’s why I wanted it to work. 😂
@@AmberUnfinished no way! Ha! We think very alike 😆
I love color explorations like these. Obviously they’re all browns, but nutcracker looks green. I haven’t found a Robert Oster ink that I haven’t enjoyed so I may need to grab a sample of that one. And I have a huge 85 ml bottle of FWP Beaver Dam Brown. If you end up loving it and wanting more let me know and I can send more to you. I need to ink it up myself. I hope you share your results after testing them all in the same pen. Sounds like a great experiment!
@@AmberUnfinished I’m glad to hear you’re excited about this experiment too 😊 thanks for your support! Planning on making more progress videos in this series for sure. Yes, Nutcracker definitely has a solid green sheen to it. I wonder how it will show up in a fountain pen. So far, I have two bottles of Robert Oster, and I’m definitely impressed with both. Quite wet inks - to my surprise. Ooo! Thank you very much for offering your stash! That is super kind of you 💛
Have you tried any other inks with it? I’ve never used troublemaker inks but I’ve heard they’re dry inks. Robert Oster Australis Oak is super wet or a Pilot Iroshizuku ink could totally change the writing experience. It’s a beautiful pen! And the sunshine ☀️ is amazing too.
@@AmberUnfinished yes, Troublemaker inks (especially the ones I have - Kelp Tea, Abalone, Moon River) are very dry. I’ve tried a range of inks with this pen. My last attempt was to see if a dry ink would work better. But alas, I still needed to add some Vanness White Lightning to it in order to enjoyably finish off the ink fill. My next ink ideas were to try out some Pilot Iroshizuku in there, which I may still try if I get the pen back. But for now, I am happy to let my sister play around with it and to have a break from it myself. It is such a fun aesthetic for a pen - that’s what drew me to it in the first place! And yes, the sunshine was glorious that day! 💛 Thanks for commenting! :)
Nice to see you!! 🥰 --Mom
@@UrbanOasis7 hehe, thanks, Momma! 💛 This is the first time I’ve ever done a talking ‘face-to-face with the camera’ video and actually posted it. I’ll probably do a mix of both in the future :)
Esterbrook re-released Lilac again ( last month i think
Hmm, I wonder if they changed the colour slightly… I guess I’m looking for a more blue-toned purple than a true purple. Thanks for commenting :)
Fun finding you ! Thanks for sharing!
Aw, glad you liked it ☺️ thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your lineup. I like the ink mix in the Saffron TWSBI, it looks great. I have every brand that you have in your lineup, but in different color ways. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks for watching! I look forward to putting out more videos :)
what a lovely selection of inks and pens! thanks for sharing! ☺️
Thank you! I think so too - the colours are still making me very happy to bring my pens out and write. :) Pilot Iroshizuku Ajisai especially right now.
Using my pen while I'm at work, eh? 😂❤
Hehe! ☺️ Um yeah, about that….. thanks, honey! 😘
@@deskofem Of course!
Gorgeous!! I’ve been wanting to try lavender black and you sold me!! So glad to hear it’s not dry. And I loveee your yellow/orange combo. So bright and happy!
Hi, Elyse! Happy to see you here; I like watching your videos! :) Lavender Black is definitely not a wet ink, but I find that my Pelikan has a fairly average flow and this ink works great in it. The Troublemaker inks I have to put in wetter-flowing pens for sure - either that, or add some White Lightning. But Lavender Black is closer to average than dry flow, I’d say. Thanks for commenting! It’s really fun to finally put videos out for other people to follow along with my fountain pen journey.
Also, I’m a Christian too! 😄💛
