Diamine Blue Peppermint and IWI Colors of Nature Rain water are speaking to me 😮‍💨 Also, I loveeee Vanness! They ship to me so quickly and they have a wonderful ink sample collection….Now I wanna place an order 👀🤭

I just recently got a sample of Blue Peppermint (from Vanness!) and I need to ink up a pen with it. I have Pink Ice, from Inkvent and I really like it. It’s a little lighter than I like, but perfect in a medium or larger. Not too bright. Good winter or color. Hemp does look very pretty!

I Love Vanness and they do ship very quickly. Do you think the Hemp is similar to Roy&Klinger Alt GoldGrun? I think that’s the spelling 🤦🏾‍♀️.

I love these inks. Do you use them in your planner? Do you find that when writing with shimmer inks that the glitter/shimmer particles transfer to the opposing page?
@anitaanglin
@anitaanglin Күн бұрын
I find some shimmers do transfer a bit but not all. When I add ink swatches of shimmer inks those are much more likely to transfer than just writing with the pen. I do use them in my planner.

I love that Vaness has so many samples. Sometimes I get lost looking at all the colors trying to decide what to get. Alot of these colors I've never seen swatched before and I really like them. I think you might be right that the spring equinox might be good in a broad or a stub. I just got a hand turned pen in Alaskan Sunrise and it has almost all the lighter color inks you swatched in it. So I guess I'll be getting some samples of these too. I already decided this will be my spring summer pen.

I love my Prera (which came with a converter) it was the demonstrator version, so not sure if that makes a difference. I got the cursive italic nib and it is a beautiful writer! I’ve also picked up two Jinhao 82s, and have a “Chinese pen list” of “to buys” since I’m on more of a budget and it’s a way for me to still enjoy the hobby. My first was the Kakuno Sport and that M1 is gorgeous!!! I’ll be adding that to my list! I agree, playing with different nibs is a lot of fun, as is playing with different inks. The Jinhao’s I picked specifically because I could change out size 6 and 8 nibs (and with one, Lamy nibs…I want to try their cursive italic/stub) so easily. Also, as someone who drops things a lot, I’d be scared to spend more than $50 on a pen and then ruin it. Thanks for doing this list. The nice thing about this hobby is you don’t have to spend zillions of dollars to have nice pens, inks and paper…or you can spend a lot and have a beautiful piece of art that is also a pen! (I drool over the Pelikan M800 in the classic Black and Green stripe!) I’ve also seen some great videos on nib grinding (wouldn’t worry about trying that with an inexpensive nib to have some fun) and hunting down vintage pens (my husband loves thrift and antique stores, so now I have something to look for myself in them!) The idea of the history of it, who has written with it, and how it has lasted intrigues me. Thanks so much for sharing your budget and dream pens of 2024 and I’m glad you’ve enjoyed them and look forward to what you use in 2025!😊
