Yes, I think I must have diluted it with water at the very least, so that would definitely make my sample lighter than the original ink

Thank you so much for the video! I really appreciate how you showed the ink in various nib sizes and included so many writing samples. It's exactly what I was looking for! I also watched your other video on brown inks and loved it. I'm surprised by how much I love the broad and stub nibs, your writing with them looks so beautiful. Thanks again for sharing ❤ I hope you can make more videos like that in the future. I'll be following you in my personal account. Take care!

Yes, shading (light to dark) is my favourite ink property. It’s so unique to the fountain pen & ink writing experience; I’ve never found that with other types of pens. Thanks for watching and commenting! And welcome to the rabbit hole that is the fountain pen hobby! Enjoy responsibly, heh… 😅 It can get to be quite the time and money suck. But it’s so much fun!

And I meant to say I’ve never tried dominant industry inks. November leaves looks pretty. I may need to try that one. Is it legible or really light in writing?
@deskofem 4 ай бұрын
@@AmberUnfinished in my limited experience with November Leaves, it is very light in writing. I think I found it too light on its own, so I must have mixed it with another ink at the time. November is my birthday month, so I want to love that ink. But I’m a little skeptical that I’ll be able to make it work at this point. We shall see… Dominant Industry has some beautiful inks and bottles. I love these ones for display. Highly recommend Autumn Forest; the hype checks out. :)

I love color explorations like these. Obviously they’re all browns, but nutcracker looks green. I haven’t found a Robert Oster ink that I haven’t enjoyed so I may need to grab a sample of that one. And I have a huge 85 ml bottle of FWP Beaver Dam Brown. If you end up loving it and wanting more let me know and I can send more to you. I need to ink it up myself. I hope you share your results after testing them all in the same pen. Sounds like a great experiment!

@@AmberUnfinished I’m glad to hear you’re excited about this experiment too 😊 thanks for your support! Planning on making more progress videos in this series for sure. Yes, Nutcracker definitely has a solid green sheen to it. I wonder how it will show up in a fountain pen. So far, I have two bottles of Robert Oster, and I’m definitely impressed with both. Quite wet inks - to my surprise. Ooo! Thank you very much for offering your stash! That is super kind of you 💛

Have you tried any other inks with it? I’ve never used troublemaker inks but I’ve heard they’re dry inks. Robert Oster Australis Oak is super wet or a Pilot Iroshizuku ink could totally change the writing experience. It’s a beautiful pen! And the sunshine ☀️ is amazing too.
@deskofem 4 ай бұрын
@@AmberUnfinished yes, Troublemaker inks (especially the ones I have - Kelp Tea, Abalone, Moon River) are very dry. I’ve tried a range of inks with this pen. My last attempt was to see if a dry ink would work better. But alas, I still needed to add some Vanness White Lightning to it in order to enjoyably finish off the ink fill. My next ink ideas were to try out some Pilot Iroshizuku in there, which I may still try if I get the pen back. But for now, I am happy to let my sister play around with it and to have a break from it myself. It is such a fun aesthetic for a pen - that’s what drew me to it in the first place! And yes, the sunshine was glorious that day! 💛 Thanks for commenting! :)

Hi, Elyse! Happy to see you here; I like watching your videos! :) Lavender Black is definitely not a wet ink, but I find that my Pelikan has a fairly average flow and this ink works great in it. The Troublemaker inks I have to put in wetter-flowing pens for sure - either that, or add some White Lightning. But Lavender Black is closer to average than dry flow, I’d say. Thanks for commenting! It’s really fun to finally put videos out for other people to follow along with my fountain pen journey.
