Hi Diana, I have recently also purchased the Platinum Chai Latte, and the ink that came with it is called Platinum - Mixable Dyestuff, Earth Brown - so the colour is Earth Brown.- But I guess Chai Latte is also a good name for it 😄 Very entertaining ink swatch video by the way - I immediately went in search for some of the inks.

the ink chargers are cute, but i have the experience that they dont usualy are filled up properly. I have a set and there is the Saint Marmelade or how its called and that one was only half the veil unfortunatelly. And even those are not cheap to buy. Also you need a syringe to get the inks out as they are not wide enough for a pen to dunk in

The issue with a lot of Ferris Wheel Press’ inks is that they have shimmers and it’s very difficult to use them with your fountain pens that have cartridges or pistons since these will clog them them. Dip pens, 100% ok

I just got sample of Peter Moss and really liked it. But now I need to try a sample of Dancing Thyme. It looks like a really versatile ink. Enjoyed your swatches and comparison with Teranishi Opera Rose makes me think I should’ve gotten that instead of Colorverse Brunch Date.
@dianalovestoplan8 ай бұрын
Dancing Thyme is now inked in one of my go to pens. I’m enjoying it cause it feels like it’s so unique. I haven’t tried Brunch Date, but Opera Rose is so different. It’s my most unique ink. Sometimes I think it’s brown, with no pink… but then I put it up against brown and I see the pink and vice versa. It’s such a chameleon of an ink. It’s always seems different each time I use it or swatch it and I love that. It never gets boring and I’m still arguing with myself if it’s pink or brown…depends on the day 😂

Hi, I am new to your channel. I just wanted to say that I heard recently from a very knowledgeable KZbinr that the muted colors are always going to be dryer. So you have to maybe even add a minuscule micro amount of the white lightning from Goulet Pens. But I found out the hard way that it can cause your ink to feather so it’s a hard call.
@dianalovestoplan8 ай бұрын
Hi! Welcome 😊 Yes I’ve heard that too. I can instantly feel and see when it’s dry when I swatch with the glass end. What I’ve heard about the white lightening is the same too. Like dip a needle in and then dip that into the ink and that can even be too much. I wish the white lightening wasn’t as crazy 🤣 I’m going to purchase some to try it out. I’d like to see if I can do it without having the ink feather.

treasured manuscript is one of my favourites! i bought it recently too, and its currently in my sailor medium mixed with bookkeepers brass. its dark enough to be read in a fine i think? though i write small and that makes inks look darker... it really is lovely to use as a base though! my ratio was 13 drops of treasured manuscript and 3 drops of bookkeepers brass (in a small bottle)

I absolutely love it too. It had that great surprised olive undertone. That combination sounds amazing. I haven’t gotten brave enough to start mixing but I know it will happen cause I love changing things up and not getting bored of a full bottle. I figure I’ll try it in a middle fine as is and if it’s too light will definitely mix it!

You don't sound like a newbie. You're doing fine. Every fountain pen collection has to have at least one Lamy Safari. I have three ...so far. Eventually, you should try piston and vacuum fillers. You have to dip the pen in the ink bottle with them. Syringes are essential for eye dropper pens. The advantage to these three types is that your pen can hold more ink. I look forward to more of your videos.

WOW! You did an awesome job on your video. Your selection of inks go together nicely too. If I may help with the Japanese..."kitsune" (means "fox") sounds like kee-tsu-nay. The Hobonichi "Hon" ("hon" means book) is like the first syllable in Honolulu (minus the olulu 😅), so hoe + the "un" sound....hoe-un. And "Kakimori" would sound like kah-kee-mo-ri. So the "ki" is kee, rather than kay. I hope that helps. But regardless, I loved your video, with your pretty inks and your swatching format. Thank you so much for sharing your collection! When you do look back on this video someday, you ought to give yourself a big pat on the back. BRAVO! 👏🏻

It was a struggle understanding how I would know how to differentiate, but it was easy …I could actually feel it and see it when it was dry. Not as hard to tell as I thought it would be. Now I need to learn how to tell if a pen is wet or dry …that seems hard 😂
