I love seeing inks other people are using! I am new to your channel. I have had fountain pens but more for sketching now I am getting into the beautiful inks! Love and light to you
Welcome! I’m happy to have you as part of this little family! I wish I had the artistic abilities to sketch as I can only imagine that sketching with a fountain pen would be so enjoyable! Plus, the dual use of ink…. Yes to all of that!
This is a gorgeous set of inks and has some of my faves like ploughmans pebble and the laughing kookaburra’s crest. Now I also really want to try the BPC Sunset blush - it’s lovely! (And your mix is beautiful).
I like these colors, they are a little brighter than your usual blues, dark browns and greens. I seem to be more partial to purples lately. For February I am using pens that I have only used once in 2024. I also plan to use bright pinks, purples and some gold shimmer inks. Thanks for sharing.
I am going to try to be more intentional with using all my pens and include a more entry level pen each month. I enjoy flipping through these new pages of the inks I’m thinking of for each month because it is fascinating to see how the palette shifts
Thank you so much! I’m definitely in a muted era right now! One commented called this palette “romantic” and I love that so much and wish I had thought of that!
What a wonderful areay of colors! Its a tough choice this time around. Personally Im most drawn too: BPC Sunset Blush Inkebara Brown Gray Sailor Ink Studio #252 (I adore this ink but it is similar to the next one so you might not want to use both at the same time. I think it would look stunning in one of your white pens). Your custom ink definetly belongs in the mix Tono & Lims Trust U (which I think would be a perfect match for your Laban Rosa in Lilac) Honorable mentions to Diamine Cranberry and Diamine Mint Twist because I'd be super happy to see either of those as well!
Your comment/contribution just filled me with joy! I agree with the Laban Rosa Lilac being the perfect fit for Trust U! I also love Laughing Kookaburra next to Mint Twist - my eyes are seeing a bit of the green in the more saturated parts of the swatch… if I don’t pick it this month perhaps next month it will be back!
Looks like you can purchase Trust U at Saiko Stationery. They appear to carry a lot of of Tono and Lims. For the picks, of course Trust U and then Cranberry, Ploughman's Pebble, Brown Gray and Mint Twist.
I am a sucker for shading and haloing, so my votes are for: BPC Ploughman’s Pebble; Inkebarra Brown Gray; your mix! Exciting; Trust U (so cool!); and BPC Sunset Blush Also, btw, I did pick up a Jinhao 82, fine nib, per our comments together on a previous video, and am loving it! Thanks for the suggestion! I have it inked up with Moonstone
Thank you for your choices! I’m so glad you like the jinhao 82 - it’s always nerve wracking to make a recommendation because pens and inks are very personal!
Taccia Ume Murisaki, I adore this ink, however I have it loaded permanently in my Visconti Homo Sapiens BronzeAge with an EF nib. BEAUTIFUL writer with this ink (to be fair I havent tried anything else because I adore this so so so so much!) It is VERY pink and not much brown in that combo. I NEED to try this is a MUCH wetter pen now. I got a bottle of the Don Quixote in my search of the perfect warm pink with brown undertones too. However I find that one to be quite dry in comparison to the Taccia. DEFINITELY ink up the UME MURISAKI, the experience is delightful.
The 5 I would pick…. 1. Taccia Ume Murisaki , 2. Sailor Ink Studio 252, 3. Diamine Twist (as Diamine produces a very nice experience in most of their shimmer inks). 4. BPC Ploughmans Pebble and last but definitely not least the Trust U .
Love all of these! I am surprised more people aren’t selecting Ume Murasaki… but if it’s not in the combination stars for this month it’ll be in one soon!
Thank you! I looked back and you also threw in a vote for sunset blush previously! I think this is the right month for it, and I’ve been itching to use it so thank you for validating my life choices!

Ploughman’s Pebble is a stunner and I keep wanting to play with it! I also am really interested in trying out the mix I made to see how it behaves

Lovely ink swatches! I love how semi muted they are. Birmingham Pen Co inks are definitely becoming a favorite of mine. Happy Writing ❤

@thejoyinpensandpaper890 oh! That is a PERFECT theme name for those colors! 💚💚💚
Beautiful Inks! Hard to choose, but my favorites are sunset blush, stonecutters song, brown grey, sailor studio 252 and your custom mix.
Thank you!!! I love that combination!
So pretty! I would love to see Colorverse Irs Nebula, your mix, Trust U, and maybe cranberry?
As the swatches really dried down, the mix I made and Iris Nebula are very similar which is interesting!
All such lovely inks. My picks are Cranberry, Sunset Blush, Don Quixote, Sailor 252 and Trust U.
Thank you!!! I love your combination!
Incredible rock, Don Quixote, 252, Laughing Kookaburra’s Crest, Trust U. I enjoy these videos!
I am also enjoying these videos and flipping back and seeing my thoughts (vibe) for each month!

Lovely choices... I'm drawn to Diamine Cranberry, Stonecutters song, Ploughmans pebble, Wearingeul x BPC mix & Trust U. I really like Brown Gray too.
Thank you!! I think of you when I do this… and while I’m staring at it because it’s just such a pretty page!
@ Awe... 😊 I love doing mine and looking at it too. I like how you have bigger swatches. Mine are kinda small.
Taccia Ume Murisaki, I adore this ink, however I have it loaded permanently in my Visconti Homo Sapiens BronzeAge with an EF nib. BEAUTIFUL writer with this ink (to be fair I havent tried anything else because I adore this so so so so much!) It is VERY pink and not much brown in that combo.

However I find that one to be quite dry in comparison to the Taccia. DEFINITELY ink up the UME MURISAKI, the experience is delightful.
Dry inks really frustrate me especially when it’s an absolutely beautiful color! My mind is picturing Ume Murasaki in the Amber Waterman Carene
@@thejoyinpensandpaper890 i dont think you will be unhappy with the choice!
Trust U is in stock at *_Desk Bandit_* , they're located in Australia, so I don't know what the shipping will be.
Oh thank you!!! I’ll check it out - perhaps shipping is free with a bigger order (and this is the trap I consistently fall into!)
The 5 I would pick…. 1. Taccia Ume Murisaki , 2. Sailor Ink Studio 252, 3. Diamine Twist (as Diamine produces a very nice experience in most of their shimmer inks). 4. BPC Ploughmans Pebble and last but definitely not least the Trust U .
Love all of these! I am surprised more people aren’t selecting Ume Murasaki… but if it’s not in the combination stars for this month it’ll be in one soon!
Here are my picks for the romantic take for February :
Sunset Blush, Stonecutter’s song, Don Quixote, Sailor 252 and your custom mix
Thank you! I looked back and you also threw in a vote for sunset blush previously! I think this is the right month for it, and I’ve been itching to use it so thank you for validating my life choices!
Hmmmm….Mint Twist, Sunset Blush, your mix, Don Quixote, and Cranberry
Thank you for your choices, I love this combination!
