Out of these inks I own BPC Cold Steel.. it is stunning. Very dark.. doesn’t shade much in the writing. The Platinum Blue Black looks really great in this vid. Kakitsubata is a purple-black-grey.. it is amazing. I love your swatch vids! Magenta/purple/pink is my vote for next vid.
Love seeing how the colors really develop after drying! I think it’s ok to do this many in one vid instead of splitting into two parts. Like you mentioned, nice to see them all together :)
I love these videos! I think having many inks on one video is a great way to see the variety and also compare similar colors. I always find something to add to my wishlist (or impulse buy 😂).
Somehow, I missed this video when you posted it. I was hoping for a blue-black episode, as this is my favorite/go-to colour, and LAMY’s blue-black is my preferred ink. Now, I’ll need to purchase a few of the inks I like in this video and see how they compare to LAMY’s. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
I actually almost included it in this video!! I opted for Sailor Ink Studio 940 instead since it was a little more dynamic. But the Sailor Blue Black is fantastic!
Hi! Thank you for this video. I like the long videos and the big overview! - I dumped the Monteverde Zebra in the bin because of that horrible feathering. Haven't seen anything like that before! All my other Monteverde inks are lovely.
Robert Oster Thunderstorm really looks like a thunderstorm. I should buy at least a sampler of that ink. Platinum Blue Black is my 5th favorite ink right now.
I love having so many inks to see at once. And the way you have them on the paper is great. I look forward to all the colors again ! Thank you for taking the time to create the videos!
I like that your including so many swatches on one page. Its nice to be able to see them all together. I have accumulated a large collection of samples at this point. I have them in the vial trays like the one we can see in this video, but I find it challenging to search for particular inks in my collection. Id love to hear how your organizing you collection .
The Kobe 51 Kanocho Midnight IMMEDIATELY went on my ink wishlist; love an unexpected sheen color!! I like the larger number of swatches! I don't know what order you go in, so it's always going to be a surprise to me 😅 Also! It's called a pipette, or some times an eye dropper :)
I really like this amount of inks included in a spread. It’s a feast of eye candy for me. However, if you think this amount is overwhelming in a video, feel free to split them in smaller videos! I’d love to see more of the greys in your collection. Grey is my favourite colour family in fountain pen inks for how subtly dynamic they are. Seeing some greens, purples and pink respectively would be fun too!
I really like the number of inks swatched on a page because it gives a higher chance of seeing certain inks compared. Right now I am loving greens, browns, and red-browns. Greens are my staple so I am looking forward to seeing those. Thank you for your video.
Love the BPC Cold Steel, the Platinum Blue Black, and the J. Herbin Bleu des Profondeurs. I am so excited about your second series of ink swatching! My favorites of all ink swatching videos! Thank you! Lisa
So happy to watch your ink explorations 😁 I love any number of inks but I have to admit I prefer these long ones with a heap of inks to compare. I think Thunderstorm is my favourite, I am not a real blue fan but I do appreciate a nice ink that resembles it's name 😆(it does look cloud-like) Look forward to the next one. You can probably guess I would choose green, purple & grey in that order but it doesn't matter which you do next. I also enjoy your look at the colours I don't like - I usually find something to like/add 🤩 x
I like swatching a lot of inks because it does give more chance for comparisons, and the page looks cool. The trade-off is the swatches are smaller, so you sometimes end up with just one property revealed, e.g. all sheen. So do them however the mood strikes you! I like that you showed the pages from your original blue black exploration. Even though I wouldn't call myself a blue black fan, I did buy a bottle of "Silent Night" after I painted with it for inkvent 22. "Hamlet" looks lovely. Thanks as always for an enjoyable video.
I would love to see a BPC ink video and also to learn more about how to add these to my collection. I'm reluctant to buy full bottles at 100 ml each but also unsure about how to connect with others to do sample exchanges, etc.
I am hoping to make another BPC ink video soon. I'd be happy to send you some samples myself if you like :) I can understand that 100ml is a lot. You can send me an email and we can chat about it :)
I don't find the amount of inks overwhelming, I like being able to compare them this way. Cold Steel and Thunderstorm look awesome, I might have to try those! I have the exact same "problem" with Monteverde Zebra, in that it feathers quite easily. Putting it in a drier writing pen definitely helps, but even then it feathers a bit.
I've been using Kanocho Midnight in a (surprisingly wet) Sailor MF nib, and I was hoping I'd see some of that green sheen, but I can not get it to show up! I really like the dark teals too - the Van Dieman's Midnight and Monteverde Zebra are both super pretty.
Thank you!! I haven't written with the Kanocho Midnight so I can't speak to how it would look. Maybe a Western Fine or a Japanese Medium would show it?
I love the look of more on the page to do some good comparisons with. Also have you done brown/yellows yet? I'm finding those are the colors I gravitate towards but don't have many and would love to see comparisons on that color scheme. Thanks for sharing!
Great demo and I enjoy your commentary as well! Dark blue and blue-black are my favourite colours outside of the ink world, since I thought most blue black look dull and uninspiring. This video challenged my stance and now I’m appreciating them more. May I ask, where did you get the washi tap for the top and bottom of the spread? It’s very beautiful
Thank you! The washi was from Stickii Club, I think it came in one of their subscriptions 😊 I prefer "green black" or "brown black" over blue black, but sometimes a blue black is perfect for the occasion!
I really like the large spread! Very easy to compare the colors. Thank you!
I'm so glad!
Really like that many inks at one time, it's better to compare.
Thank you!!

Yes! Thank you!

It's great to have all them together!! The more, the merrier

Thank you Aubrey! I have the impulse buy urges too haha
I'm excited for Red!

Lamy Blue Black is great!! Glad you were able to add to your wishlist :)
When you like blue blacks, you definitely have to get a hold of some standard Sailor Blue-Black... it is awesome.
I actually almost included it in this video!! I opted for Sailor Ink Studio 940 instead since it was a little more dynamic. But the Sailor Blue Black is fantastic!
@@mydandeliondiaries Now I'm definitely going to try to get some 940.. haha. Sailor inks are so good.
Hi! Thank you for this video. I like the long videos and the big overview! - I dumped the Monteverde Zebra in the bin because of that horrible feathering. Haven't seen anything like that before! All my other Monteverde inks are lovely.
How odd!! I'm glad I said something, it seems to be a common occurrence with the Zebra. All my other monteverdes have no problems as well.
Robert Oster Thunderstorm really looks like a thunderstorm. I should buy at least a sampler of that ink.
Platinum Blue Black is my 5th favorite ink right now.
You should! I love how it looks so "thunderous"!
I enjoy both, the shorter and longer videos. Always good times 😊
Yay! Thank you!

That's a great idea! I hope to share my "craft" room soon (its more of a closet haha) I usually do by color, and then alphabet!
The more the merrier 😊 So great to compare all of these at once. Thanks for doing this.
You're so welcome!
I am in love with Diamine Nightfall! Thanks for swatching all these lovely inks!
Thank you Liane!!
I love your inkswatching videos; full of interesting detail while moving right along!
Thank you!!

Thank you!! I totally had a brain fart with the pipette name. I'm excited to use the Kanocho Midnight, the green was definitely unexpected!

@@aubreygarrison5388 Sure! That works :) my email is info.thedandeliondiaries(at)gmail.com if that is easier!
Nightfall is beautiful! 🤩 Hamlet is also very pretty. 😇🩷🙏🙌
It really is!
Diamine Nightfall-OMG. But I can’t find it online. Could you let us know where you bought it?
@@nabbyr8112 It was from the 2023 Purple Inkvent! I don't believe Diamine has released full size bottles yet.
@@mydandeliondiaries oh, thank you! I looked on their website and didn’t see it-I’ll just have to be patient.
I really like seeing the larger number of inks.
Thank you!
It’s called a pipette. The plastic dropper thingy.
I highly recommend if you like Hamlet trying Colorverse Witch by Starlight- completely stunning!!
YES! I swatched it last year in a purple video, but it has a blueness to it. LOVE that ink!
@@mydandeliondiaries going to have to go watch that video now!

Maybe Edelstein Tanzanite?
I'll have to look into that one!
Plastic dropper=pipette
Thank you!
