I love 30 inks 30 days, it gives me SO MANY INKS to add to my wishlist 🤣 and I always love watching your swatch videos so this is a double win for me lol
This week are a lot of great inks! I was surprised by R.Oster muddy sand and BPC antique sepia. Beautiful shading! Glacier looks very interesting, perhaps not for writing but your zentagle definitely sparkles ✨ ☺️
Thank you for all the effort that you put into each and every video! It is greatly appreciated. I was a bit shocked at ALL the shimmer that you got out of your sample vial of Glacier!! I got the whole Inkvent calendar and my whole little bottle of Glacier *did* have shimmer in it but the base color was much stronger for me, I think your tiny sample got twice as much glitter as my whole (little) bottle did!
Those were some excellent pen and ink combinations. I really like the Diamine- Glacier. I really appreciate the work you put into this and that you share it with all of us. Have a wonderful day!!
I love all your ink choices. I own some & the rest are on my wish list. I love seeing your zentangles!!! I am going to try them when I get organised & yours are a wonderful ad for doing them with fountain pens 💜💚
I was waiting for this video🤩 I got curious with Zentangle because of you and now I am hooked. Hope you could make video on it. Looking forward for the next. ☺️
Relaxing on Midsummer Day watching these swatches. Life could be much worse! 😁 It's great to see how the inks behave and what they look like dry. Not so great for the wallet though! 😆 I really enjoy your series! A little meditative harmony never hurts. Happy Midsummer, as we say in Sweden. 😇💙💛🙏🙌🇸🇪
I’m actually exploring Ancient Copper myself atm, so I’m a bit biased 😂 I’ve only used it with a dip pen and I’m already pretty sure I’m gonna buy a bottle 😂
I always enjoy your swatching videos, Karyna. I'm happy you're doing 30inks30days. I love that Via Lattea pen. It looks great with that muddy sand ink. When you shared the pen when you first got it, we were in the process of "adopting" a feral cat, and I suggested Lattea as a name. My two daughters also suggested names, so the cat ended up named Paisley Marble-Rye Elm Lattea. 😂
Hi Karyna, thank you so much for making these videos. I really enjoy watching and listening to you. It's so calming and fun. Also, a newbie question, the nib (F CSI) on your Esterbrook showcased on day 15, is it possible to buy that nib somewhere? I think I would like it a lot.
Man, I don't know how you do it. I couldn't get the Glacier or Merry & Bright to write even with a broad nib! They just clogged and clogged and refused to work, and you're getting them to write in Fines!
@@KarynaLovesToPlan I've tried TWSBIs and Kawecos (Sport and Student) mostly. I do have Pilot Vanishing Points and Esterbrook Esties that I've been scared to try (all Medium or Journaler nibs).
I'm doing 30inks on Instagram. I just like it sor comparasions and to get the most use out of my samples. Its great to really narrow down the ones you like to use vs the ones that just looks cool but are a horror to works with :)
Ouu, Robert Oster Muddy Sand looks interesting! Not sure if you have tried Pilot Iroshizuku Ina Ho (I haven't) - do you think muddy sands is similar to it?
Did you have any issues with the Diamine Glacier ink clogging up your pen? Tried it in a TWSBI with a Broad, and clogged right away. BTW, another great video.

Win win! These are fun to make and it allows me to use what I have!
Love all of your tangling. It really shows all of the ink properties!
Thank you Tina! They are so fun to do!
Those designs will be pretty in the planner for decorations. Thanks
They are! Definitely thinking about how to incorporate those doodles!

Thank you, Claudia! I was amazed at all that shimmer - I wonder if the person who sent it made sure it was ALL shimmer. 😂

Thanks Courtney! It is a bit of work but I do find these fun! 😊

Zentangles and doodles are such a great way to use your pens! Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! I have so much fun with the zentangles!
I love watching these! Your samples give such a good depiction of how these work. My list keeps getting longer and longer!
Awesome! Thank you! 😊
The way i ran to buy glacier and tranquillity! I don't know what it is about Diamine inks, but I am always so drawn to them.
They're such great reliable inks!

That’s so lovely! Thank you! Happy Midsummer Day!

Put it in a pen! It's so good!!

Welcome to the hobby! The nib on the Estie came as a fine and I sent it off to a committed to get ground into the cursive smooth italic.
Man, I don't know how you do it. I couldn't get the Glacier or Merry & Bright to write even with a broad nib! They just clogged and clogged and refused to work, and you're getting them to write in Fines!
It could be the feed of your pen that is affecting the flow. What pen are you using it in?
@@KarynaLovesToPlan I've tried TWSBIs and Kawecos (Sport and Student) mostly. I do have Pilot Vanishing Points and Esterbrook Esties that I've been scared to try (all Medium or Journaler nibs).
@@Olduvai9 the feeds on the TWSBIs and Kaweco may not be able to handle shimmer. I use shimmers in my Esties all the time!
@@KarynaLovesToPlan ooh, that is good to know! Thank you for the tip!
Hey Karyna, where do you get your Zentangle drawings from?
They're all inspired from different artists on Instagram. instagram.com/varnikikarni/ is one of my bigger inspirations!
@@KarynaLovesToPlanThanks!
Love following along on your 30 inks 30 days. Where did you have the lovely finish added to your Pilot Kakuno?
Purchased from garagefountainpen on Instagram. To be honest, it is pretty but the finish is not great.
@@KarynaLovesToPlan thank you. I just checked and he is no longer doing commissions but found a few possibilities on Reddit
@@ssfoster95 he does do the occasional drop but you need to keep an eye on his Instagram

It’s such a great way to use and explore inks and yes, narrow the ones you want to keep using!
Ouu, Robert Oster Muddy Sand looks interesting! Not sure if you have tried Pilot Iroshizuku Ina Ho (I haven't) - do you think muddy sands is similar to it?
Ina-Ho is a bit lighter and more yellow than Muddy Sand.
@KarynaLovesToPlan hmm then I might even like muddy sands more, I'll have to add it to my list, thank you
Loving your 30 inks videos. Where did you get the body work done on your Pilot Kakuno?
Done by garagefountainpen on Instagram. He is no longer doing commissions unfortunately.
Thanks Karyna!!
Hi Karyna... I dont see the link for the speedball nib from amazon in the description.
My apologies! I've added it to the description now but here is the link for you. amzn.to/3zdh5Rj
Hey! This will be so random but what do you call that specific ruler you are using? And if it's okay to know where you got it?
It’s from Michael’s - I bought it seven years ago.
Did you have any issues with the Diamine Glacier ink clogging up your pen? Tried it in a TWSBI with a Broad, and clogged right away. BTW, another great video.
Not at all in the Pilot fine nib!
Hi Karyna! What wooden handle were you using in a recent video to hold ypur speedball nib?
That is a nib holder that I purchased from garagefountainpen on Instagram.
