I’m a practical person I think, and I must applaud your use of the wrapping paper to protect your table top. Very wise imo. You only have to tip a new full bottle of ink (Oh Noodler’s… love the full bottles, but they have a narrow base which if you bump the bottle it’s going to be a HUGE mess!). I also think some ink bottles are really fancy, and I don’t blame you a bit for getting the Diamine Holly in the nice bottle… Very cool 👍😎. I like the colors you chose in full bottles too 👍. Thanks for the super smooth video. I will be a bore, and pass on what I do to hold eye dropper fountain pens (&) the small plastic bottles that Goulet & other places use for sampler inks. I found an ink bottle with a wide enough mouth so a small ink container will fit, but not so deep the mouth of the small container falls below the larger mouthed ink bottle. I fill the larger ink bottle about 1/3 - 1/2 full with #9 lead shot, but brass coated steel BBs works just as well. With the small amount of BBs, placing the small ink container in the bottle, and pushing down a tad, the BBs surround the small ink container and hold the container upright and securely. It also works great for holding upright the body of an eye dropper pen. Trying to hold one in one hand, and fill or dip a pen doing the same is just a recipe for spilling. BBs cost next to nothing, and it’s easy to find a 30mm bottle that has a wide mouth. Plus the weight of the BBs & glass bottle give it some weight so it is less likely to tip. {ah, Noodler’s glass bottles don’t work for this… 🤣😝🤮}Good luck.
looks like fun, can't wait to watch

Oh thank you! That’s a great tip! I’m off to find some BBs. I haven’t tipped a bottle yet but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time. 😬
Who knew the Romans bled highlighter?! 😂 Such a fun video. I loved discovering these new colors with you. :)
Thank you. It’s fun exploring new inks.
Wait, is TWSBI making an Iris Mini???
That’s my hope. It only exists I’m my dreams for now. 😂
@@lifeasme I would buy it immediately! My mini AL is such a great pen.
