A kind viewer asked if I’d be willing to share my Esterbrook collection and I was only too happy to oblige. #journaling #ferriswheelpress #fountainpens #fountainpenink #esterbrook
FWP pumpkin patch is nice in your Thai milk tea pen, but I feel like Dominant Industry Earl Grey Tea is similar, but more on theme. Also, my Botanical Gardens is inked with FWP Sherry Sonata and I'm quite loving that!
Hey Claire - I first saw Esterbrooks on your videos. It took me a while to decide and the I got the Estie in Rain Forest. It‘s hands down one of my favorite pens. It is so amazingly comfortable. I also have the To Go Cup in Sand and I have no problems with it. Thanks again for introducing me to Esterbrook!
Beautiful collection! I only have two Esties thus far - the Tortoise with a scribe nib and the Botanical with a journaler nib. I have Troublemaker Hanging Rice in the latter, which I'm liking quite a bit. Originally I'd inked it with Yama-budo, but it was almost too wet an ink for that nib, and seemed to obscure the line variation.
i just watched your video and i love your collection! i was taking notes with Colorverse Mystik Mountain and it seems that would be beautiful in the last Botanical Garden pen
I have an Estie Petrified Forrest on my whishlist and you made me consider the Camden Oktoberfest which has similar tones. But I guess I prefer the Estie shape. It is difficult to justify to buy another fountain pen when we have already 10 pens all inked (not counting the oldies Montblanc and Rotring), Opus 88, Twsbi, Kaweco, Narwhal...
Oh my goodness the Oktoberfest is fantastic. I do love the shape of the Estie more, but I’ve found I also enjoy the Camden. Oh! How do you like your Narwhal? That’s a pen I’m very curious about too. I’m about to go to the Orlando Pen Show next week and I’m hoping to try one out while I’m there.
Maybe Wearingeul's new Anna Karenina ink would work? It is on my to-buy list asap! Just stumbled onto your channel today as I have been pondering an Esterbrook purchase :)
I just bought my first Estie OS in Nouveau Bleu with a Needlepoint. I added an adapter and got a #1550 Firm Extra Fine vintage nib to see how I like Esterbrook vintage nibs. I missed out on the Rocky Top because I wasn't in the hobby when it came out. That colorway looks like caramel milk tea to me. I like the colors of the Camden Oktoberfest. I see the amber of the wheat beer, the white foam, the darker brown of the Brezel, and the white of the salt on top of it. But Thai milk tea works too. LOL If you're okay with non-English speaking RUclipsrs, Ink Inc. has some very nice videos on fountain pens and inks, some subbed. Her handwriting (both Korean and English) is beautiful. I remember watching an entire video of hers in search of the perfect yellow. Highly recommended.
Yes! I got to see it in person at the Orlando Pen Show. It’s not really my color, but it is very beautiful. A lot of Purple/pink lovers out there will be thrilled with this release.
It me. 🙋♀️ I'm the one that suggested this video. 😅 I'm a fan of the Esterbrook 2-Go Cup, even though I find the divider a little odd. However, that 3 pen hard case is stunning! Scarlet is gorgeous and I don't think I've seen it before. I'm late to the Estie game, and I'm looking forward to holding them at the SF Pen show. The Gold Rush in Prospector Black is on my wishlist. 🥹
beautiful collection! i can hear how much you love them by the excitement in your voice. ❤

STUNNING! 😍
The rainforest pen is Amazing! 💚
That’s an incredible collection I can just watch this vid all day
Thank you! I added a Petrified Forest to my collection in September, but I’ve not quite fallen in love with it yet.
Put some silicone grease on the threads on your squeaky pen and the sound should go away :)
Beautiful collection! 30:30
Excellent idea! Thanks!!

Ink the last one with a nice red like Diamine Res Dragon or the likes 😊

Thank you!! I’ll check out her videos.
I love my Scarlet Estie the most! Did you try Diamine Red Dragon in it? I will never change it out-it’s so PERFECT ❤
Thanks for sharing! Have you seen the new Esterbrook Estie Punch Limited Edition? It’s gorgeous! I also have the cup and it’s great.

I’m so glad you suggested this video. You’ll definitely want one after you get one in your hands. I hope you get the one you want!
Which is your favorite among them?
Esterbrook nouveau blue?
I don’t have that one. But it’s very lovely.
