Hi Mona, No worries about the inky messes, they happen to everyone lol. Nice collection of inks you have. A tip for choosing inks, is you can buy samples which usually are 2mls so you can work out if you want a full bottle or not. You might also come across pigmented inks that are waterproof too. For the glass dip pen, you can actually use the back end of it as a way to swatch too which may be easier getting into the smaller bottle openings. Also rotating the pen can give you more ink, as the ink travels down the flutes in the pen. Enjoy the process of swatching and using your pens, which also look lovely. Would love to see more about your pens and ink as you continue to explore. Shimmer inks also tend to have the shimmer at the bottom of the bottle, thats why they need to be shaken up but they can settle back down quickly too. Also be careful of possible clogging with shimmer. Hope all of that is helpful. Though I am still learning as I go as well. 👍
Oh my goodness…. Thank you so much this is really REALLY helpful information 🙏🙏🤗…. We are definitely on a fountain pen journey together 😅….You will probably see more of my journey in future videos….. thank you once again very helpful. 👍
Lovely video, Mona, a Kitty, Ink Chat! :D Lovely planning so far. I am getting organized early December, currently declutter/re-organizing once more before end of year. Beautiful pens, love the blue/green and purple/pink. I dont think I've used a fountain pen before, but I wouldn't trust myself with liquid ink. I already get gel pens all over my hands. :) That Glass pen is so elegant. Diamine Twilight color is gorgeous and I love the color of the glass pen turquoise ink.
Since you have asked for fountain pen tips: You don’t need to shake ink bottles-except when they contain shimmer. Shaking is only necessary to mix the shimmer particles evenly. And ink-stained fingers and stains on paper (and everywhere else) are all part of the fountain pen experience 😄
