I’m about to go get a sample of Platinum Carbon Black for my sketching and watercolor class. So glad to hear you like it, especially for that application
Found your videos last night…so excited about your content! LOVE finding content producers with an honest, realistic approach to the planner/stationery hobby! Looking forward to binge watching past videos & being inspired by new ones! I’m also a high school teacher! ❤ definitely wanting students in my English classes to fall in love with all analog things. Need to make a fountain pen stash for them to use for in class writing!
Thank you for your kind comment! And I'm so grateful to meet another high-school English teacher in this hobby...or anywhere, for that matter. I've had such amazing conversations with students when I share a Blackwing pencil, or a TWSBI fountain pen, or Rhodia or Tomoe River paper. What a great touchstone for conversation about craft, writing, planning, and analog hobbies. I remember conversations with my 11th-grade friends about our favorite pens :*, and I'm so charmed by overhearing those conversations almost 40 years later!
Thanks for showing what the inks look like in long form journaling. I've found that some inks I enjoy in swatch form do not serve well in a full page of writing. I loved J Herbin's Ambre de Baltique, but in looking at my past entries it is difficult to read. I will use it in broad nibs for an accent heading color. Love your illustrations.
I just found your channel and I am really enjoying your videos. I got back into fountain pens about ten years ago after not using mine for many years, and I did go a bit wild, spending far too much. I am very interested in your approach for the year and think I will take inspiration from you and spend more reviewing and enjoying what I have rather than buying new pens and inks.
Thanks so much for your comment, @susanhudak3779. I feel like when the pandemic hit, I picked up too many unsustainable habits in that weird space of stay-at-home isolation and work-from-home ambiguities. I'm really happy with what I'm forcing myself to learn with this new approach. It's bringing more depth to my understanding of what pens I have, and it's also helping me sort inks into two categories: fountain pen appropriate and art-only.
What a great video! I was inspired by Brittney as well - I really need to think more about my rating for each pen before I start filming. Let's see how I'll rate my pens and inks at the end of this month. To be honest, I really like them all - I'm not sure I even want to stop using them.
Ha ha--as I feel you already deduce, I'm not sure I'll stick to this system. However, for the first months of 2023, it feels right. Although the project originated from a sense of overwhelm, I'm excited about insights this monthly "Currently Inked Review" is helping me learn.

I'm almost sure I used a broad nib with diamine ghost from the diamine inkvent calendar
