    I loved it so much. I always love your "Thank you" lettering in the end. The ink concoction is really beautiful that u showed in the beginning.

      Thank You! Now that I've muddled ink there's no going back! It's so fun to try to make "just the right colour" or adjust a colour I don't like to make it acceptable or great for me:)

      Thank You! Handwriting has been a journey in itself! As to inks, I've really been enjoying the Kobe Inks- lots of great earth tones there especially green!

      Thank you! Much appreciated! I've been able to do some curating to my collection since shooting the video, so I'm happy for that!

    Great video, I really enjoyed it. I also love peachy pink coral inks, especially if they’re a bit dusty. Thank you for sharing and hoping to see more of you!

      Thank you! Yes, I love dusty and earthy undertones in inks! The exploration never ends! :)

    Great video! You have beautiful penmanship that matches your lovely collection! 😍 It was interesting to hear what pen solidified your love for this hobby, and fun to see writing samples of different nibs in your collection. It was cool to see a demonstration of the line variation that you can get from different nibs in one video, too! 🖋️

      @fountainPENdulum  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thank You! I really like the Falcon, especially now that it's been modified, but I'm not much a fan of the pen itself. I can appreciate it for what it is, but find it uncomfortable to write with and not very drawing aesthetically.
      I love trying different nibs and find vintage nibs, especially the grinds, very fascinating!

      @Tina.Journals 5 месяцев назад +1

      @@fountainPENdulum My fave is cursive italic; but also enjoy architect, reverse architect, stubs and of course flex. My first (and more than likely only) Scribo with the 14k EF flex is on it's way to me - so excited! I also enjoy the vintage Esterbrook nibs. I have one Estie with an mv adaptor that I use exclusively for the vintage nibs.

    • @fountainPENdulum
      @fountainPENdulum  5 месяцев назад

      @Tina.Journals That's great you've tried and enjoyed a variety of grinds! Very Nice! Scribo flex is an exciting purchase, Congrats!

    I love the variation of the line width you got from that Sailor Pro Gear with the Hybrid Architect nib - your writing looks so wonderful where you use the reverse of the nib to contrast the lines of the text above, beautiful! Thanks for sharing your journey :)

    • @fountainPENdulum
      @fountainPENdulum  5 месяцев назад

      Thank you! This was a very fun grind, and Mark Bacas did an excellent job on the Hybrid Architect with a reverse Ultra Extra Fine! It wrote so smoothly for being so fine!

    So interesting to hear your pen and nib journey. I also really enjoy specialty and customized nibs, so seeing some of yours was a massive treat - that modified Pilot Falcon is fantastic! 😍Thank you for sharing with us!!

    • @fountainPENdulum
      @fountainPENdulum  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thank You! The modified Falcon nib is a pretty special nib! The design is gorgeous, and after having it modified, it's a joy to write with! The first Nibmeister I talked to about the Mod thought it was redundant to have a Cursive Italic with Flex, but I don't agree, I love it:)

      Thank You! Much appreciated! The Pen at the end is my Stipula Etruria, don't tell the others, but she's a favored pen:)
      The Ink was Ferris Wheel Press, Coral in Wonderland, after it had dried!

      Oh wow! Yeah, I think I had perhaps seen Calligraphy pens at craft stores like Michael's before, but this Shaeffer set at the college supply store looked nice, so I thought I'd give it a shot! I picked it up again to do this video and was thought, 'huh. not bad.' :)

    There are going to be a lot of comments from me...Who customized your falcon? Also, I just ordered my first Kobe samples. What are some of your favorites?

    • @fountainPENdulum
      @fountainPENdulum  5 месяцев назад +1

      Kobe #34 Sorakuen Tea Green is the one that started it all for me! Definitely a favorite Kobe and a favorite green at that! What Kobe Samples did you order?
      Masuyama did this Falcon customization for me and did superb work!
